Regional Weather Summary
National Weather Service State College PA
1059 PM EST Thu Nov 12 2026

Cold air has moved over the area for tonight and will last
through the weekend. A transition to snow has already occurred
for some areas across northeastern PA and will continue to
transition from rain to snow overnight. A slushy accumulation of a
coating to 3 inches is possible into Friday.

The cold air moving over the Great Lakes will also result in
scattered lake effect snow showers tonight through Sunday across
the north and west, with a coating to locally up to 2 inches of
snow possible. A mix of rain and snow showers will be found at
lower elevations to the south and east, with little to no
accumulation. Temperatures this weekend will be in the 30s and 40s
during the day and the 20s and 30s overnight. The wind will make
it feel colder, with wind gusts of 20 to 35 mph tonight through
the weekend.

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1: Elevation dependent wet snowfall in the Northern
Tier and Endless Mountains overnight through Friday morning

In the wake of circulation rotating across south central PA this
afternoon, intensifying cold air advection and increasing FGEN
will eventually result in dynamic column cooling and lowering
snow levels across north central and northeast PA tonight. Snow
totals trended higher for this cycle especially above 1500ft
elevation given colder model trends and increasing banding
potential. Despite marginal temperatures, confidence has
increased for up to 2 inches of wet snow across the northern
tier/Endless Mtns overnight into early Friday. Locally higher
amounts to 4 inches are possible especially within a comma head
banded snow feature. This feature could also drag snow levels
closer to the ground at lower elevations. The bulk of the
accumulation may be confined to non paved surfaces which may
limit winter driving impacts. Snowfall could extend farther to
the south impacting higher terrain from Northern Clinton to
Schuylkill Counties. Odds for accumulation decrease during the
daytime hours Friday.

------------------------------------------------------------------

KEY MESSAGE 2: Breezy and colder weekend with rain and snow
showers downwind of Lake Erie

Breezy and colder conditions will grip the area this weekend.
Wind gusts in the 25-35 mph range are likely producing wind
min wind chills in the 15-30F range. The lake effect and
upslope snow is expected to produce a coating to one inch of
snow across the Laurels and the northwest mountains with
localized amounts pushing closer to two inches in the favored
snowbelts and summits. A mix of rain/snow showers are possible
at times between the I-99 and I-81 corridors. Rain/snow showers
taper off by Sunday night.

------------------------------------------------------------------

KEY MESSAGE 3: Dry and seasonal pattern returns next week

All indication point to another stretch of dry, tranquil, and
seasonal weather returning for next week 11/16-11/20.
Temperatures will moderate and trend warmer with fcst max temps
climbing 10 to 15 degrees above the historical average by late
week.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Precipitation is currently light, but a band of heavier
precipitation looks like it will set up across the northern
tier of PA (mainly from IPT and north). The heaviest of the snow
and lowest cigs/visbys will likely be east of BFD overnight and
Fri as the offshore low deepens more and feeds precip into NE
PA. On the good side: A several (6-12hr) break in precip is
expected for the western half of the CWA until the flow can back
to the NW even more late tonight and on Friday. Light precip
(snow on higher elevations and rain low) will continue in the
eastern half of CTP`s airspace until at least 18-21Z.

Wind will pick up over the next 6 hrs out of the N/NW. Frequent
gusts into the upper teens and 20s are expected.

Flying conditions will remain poor for a day or so Fri and Fri
night with IFR at the higher-elevation terminals (BFD, JST) and
MVFR in the S.

Outlook...

Fri Night...-SHSN and ocnl IFR NW. -SHRA and MVFR SE. Gusty NW
wind.

Sat...Improving, but still gusty with MVFR clouds and isold
-SHSN for BFD/JST. VFR elsewhere.

Sun...VFR, gusts NW 15-25KT.

Mon-Tue...VFR.
