Regional Weather Summary

National Weather Service State College PA

826 AM EDT Sat Mar 21 2026



A mild day is in store for the first day of Spring.



Partly to mostly sunny skies will prevail this afternoon, as

weak high pressure remains over the eastern states. 



High temperatures will range from the mid 40s in the Poconos to 

the low 60s in the Greater Pittsburgh area.



A surge of May-like warmth will send temperatures 10 to 25 degrees

above the historical average Sunday afternoon with highs in the 

60 to 80 degree range. The temperature spike will also precede the

risk of severe thunderstorms across the southern half of the 

Commonwealth. 



Much cooler and breezy weather returns to Pennsylvania on Monday 

with high temperatures 20 to 30 degrees lower than Sunday. The 

rest of the week will feature smaller temperature swings trending 

on the cooler side of late March climatology with the highest

chance for precipitation being on Thursday.
