Cloudy | Pennsylvania Weather 6 AM

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Pennsylvania Weather Podcast. It's Thursday, February 26th. Folks, that dusting overnight? Two tenths of an inch. Just enough to make you scrape the windshield and mutter something unkind. We're sitting at 33 degrees right now. Winter's got one more card to play today.. But the hand it's holding is weak. Down in Southeast PA, Philly, Lancaster, the Delaware Valley, your morning starts quiet. Clouds muscle in by midday. Then between noon and 5 P.M., a low pressure system sneaks south of the region. That brings a messy rain snow mix. Nothing major, but enough to make the afternoon commute slippery. High of 40 degrees. Tonight those skies clear fast and you drop to 24. That damp chill will bite. Over in Pittsburgh, completely different movie playing. Mostly sunny all day. High near 41 degrees. No precipitation. No drama. Just a pleasant late February afternoon. Tonight, clear skies, low of 24. Central PA splits the difference. Partly sunny with a slight chance of snow showers between noon and 4 P.M. High of 41. Mostly clear tonight, low around 25. Now the good stuff. Friday and Saturday feel like someone accidentally flipped the calendar to April. Highs climb into the upper 40s and mid 50s statewide. Pittsburgh could touch 56 Saturday. Let that sink in. Fifty six degrees in February. Don't get too comfortable. A cold front crashes the party Saturday night. Rain and snow showers roll through, then Sunday snaps back to reality. Early next week, we're watching a system that could bring more wintry weather Monday into Tuesday. Highs retreat to the 20s and 30s. One bright spot that nobody can take away. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight every single day. Sunrise at 15 degrees:40, sunset at 5:50. Spring equinox is three weeks out. Charge up those phones tonight. Cold batteries and cold mornings don't mix. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
