Regional Weather Summary

National Weather Service State College PA

521 AM EDT Tue May 5 2026



Tuesday starts out on the mild side with lows in the 50s to low

60s and a mix of sun and clouds. A few showers and thunderstorms

early this morning will give way to a few hours of dry/rain-free

conditions across the Commonwealth.



The recent warming trend will reach its peak today with highs in 

the upper 60s over the Northwest Mountains, to between 80 and 85 

degrees near and to the southwest of I-80/I-99. Southwest winds 

will gust into the 30 to 35 mph range during the late morning and 

afternoon hours. The chance for heavier rain will be increasing 

this afternoon, especially over Northwestern Pennsylvania. Rain 

is expected to spread across the rest of the state Tuesday evening

into Wednesday morning, with Wednesday bringing a soaking rain 

for the majority of the state. Rainfall totals will range from as

low as a quarter inch along and south of the PA Turnpike to

upwards of an inch and a half in northwest PA.



Rain showers will linger across much of the state on Thursday, 

potentially mixing with snow in the Northern and Western 

Mountains. Much cooler conditions will follow the passage of a 

cold front Wednesday night through Friday, with northern areas 

potentially near freezing Thursday night.
