Regional Weather Summary
National Weather Service State College PA
605 PM EDT Wed Apr 22 2026

As a frontal boundary stalls out south of Pennsylvania tonight,
clearing skies and a light northwest wind will dry things out
somewhat tonight and even further on Thursday. Lows tonight will
be in the upper 30s in the northern mountains but close to 50
degrees on the West Virginia border. There could be some patchy
fog, especially across eastern PA, on Thursday morning. Highs on
Thursday will be 5 to 10 degrees warmer than Wednesday, running in
the mid 60s northeast and 70s elsewhere.

Friday will be warmer in western PA with temperatures rising into
the 70s again, but the eastern half of the state will hold in the
60s. Several showers and even a couple of thunderstorms will pop
up, mainly in the west. More widespread showers will overspread
the area Friday night into Saturday.
