Thursday Morning Forecast

Synopsis:  We are starting off today with bright sun, clear skies, and cool temperatures. We can expect tomorrow to be similar today with temperatures starting to moderate a bit. As we head into next week it looks like the current pattern in going to hold steady. Skies should generally remain clear and temperatures will rise a few degrees each day as we head into next week. There are also no real storm threats over the next week, so just expect sun, dry weather, and comfortable temperatures as we head into finals week!

Short Term:  As the low pressure system swings north into Canada and its associated cold front moves off the coast, a strong area of high pressure will build over the mid-Atlantic.  This high will move in from the southwest and induce a southwesterly isallobaric wind, which will keep temperatures from dropping too much in the wake of the cold front.  The high will park itself right over PA for most of the weekend, keeping temps seasonal and skies partly clear.

Long Term:  The high will move out of the area on Sunday night as a weak, slow-moving low pushes through the area.  This disturbance will induce building clouds and some scattered showers throughout Monday and Tuesday.
