All in all, today’s forecast is fairly simple. Under the influence of yet another high pressure system over the Great Lakes, today will bring mostly sunny skies. 850-mb temps in the 6 C range should translate to temperatures in the mid-60s for this afternoon. Possibly a little cooler in the Pennsylvania mountains.

Tonight, temperatures should drop into the mid-40s.

For Friday, a weak cold front to our north should barely miss us and scoot over to our east as it gets squeezed out of our way by continuing high pressure over the Appalachians and the Great Plains. Temperatures will remain in the 60s with mostly sunny skies. (After all the rain we had this summer, it’s been awfully dry the past few weeks…)

For perspective, the average high for the Twin Tiers today is about 68, falling at a climatologically rapid pace of 1 degree every 3 days.

A beautiful forecast ahead… tomorrow, in the Weekend Outlook.
