2/28 Pennsylvania Weather Noon: Clear Skies

Good afternoon. Pennsylvania. I'm Aaron Jolly. What a way to close out February. You stepped out this morning to 26 degrees. Now we're sitting at 56 under brilliant sunshine. That's a 30-degree swing and a preview of what's coming. In the next 24 hours., A moisture-starved cold front is sliding through the state right now. It's bringing cooler air but almost no precipitation. That's why today stays sunny statewide. Central Pennsylvania tops out at 59 degrees. Western areas hit 58. Southeast Pennsylvania reaches 52 with a gentle southwest breeze. Tonight, the front stalls to our south and a weak low develops along it. That's your trigger for light precipitation after midnight. Western Pennsylvania could see snow between 1 and 6 A.M. — little to no accumulation expected. Central areas might catch a brief rain shower toward dawn. Southeast Pennsylvania stays mainly dry, though patchy fog could develop around midnight. Sunday brings the temperature crash. Highs only reach 40 degrees statewide. North winds pick up to 10 to 15 miles an hour. That's a 15 to 20 degrees drop from today. A rain and snow mix is possible Sunday morning, mainly north of I-80, before tapering off by midday. Sunday night turns downright cold with lows near 20 degrees. Monday stays chilly but dry. Then Tuesday. March comes in like a lion. A wintry mix changes to rain as milder air surges north. The big story? A spring preview arrives late week. By Thursday and Friday, highs could reach the upper 60s to near 70 degrees. The spring equinox is just 20 days away. and next week will feel like it's already here. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.
