Forecast Discussion 10/28 Afternoon

High pressure is creating some cooler and clearer conditions to start the week, but a cold front will make its way to Pennsylvania later this week for a wet start to the weekend.

Short-Term: Mon-Wed
High pressure sitting over the Gulf will bar any clouds from building in over PA for Monday and Tuesday. Clear skies and cool temperatures can be expected for Tuesday. Moist air from the south may interact and mix with cooler air from the north to create some cloud cover or potential showers for Tuesday night heading into Wednesday. Although, any showers produced from this will likely be short-lived, and skies appear to clear out by Wednesday morning.

Long-Term: Wed-Fri
Another day of clear skies is expected for Wednesday, but with warmer temperatures due to warm air being funneled northward from the Gulf into Pennsylvania ahead of a front. Wednesday night and early Thursday morning will be greeted with a cold front making its way across the country, with rain dominating the forecast for the next 2 days. Temperatures remain warmer as surface heating will be trapped due to cloud cover, and little chance for evaporational cooling due to the sheer predicted size of the oncoming front. Rain is expected to break Saturday morning as the front finally moves out of Pennsylvania.
