Regional Weather Summary
National Weather Service State College PA
1044 PM EST Tue Nov 18 2025
Some mixed precipitation, but mainly light rain, is sliding
across PA. A light accumulation of snow or sleet is expected along
the I-80 corridor as the air cools slightly overnight. A patch or
two of freezing rain is also possible in the higher elevations of
the Laurel Highlands.
Expect the precipitation to exit the eastern counties around
sunrise. Clouds will linger across southern PA through the day on
Wednesday while sunshine is expected over the northern counties.
Expect a fair but mostly cloudy day on Thursday.
Low temperatures early Wednesday will be in the mid to upper 20s
over the Northern Tier counties and close to 40 degrees in the far
southern towns. Highs Wednesday will be a little warmer than
Tuesday, especially in the west. High temperatures will be in the
40s for all of the Commonwealth. Thursday may be a few degrees
milder across the south, but the north will stay close to
Wednesday`s highs.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service State College PA
233 AM EST Wed Nov 19 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
A quick moving system will bring rain to the area tonight,
along with some elevation-driven wet snow. Mainly dry weather
returns for Wednesday and Thursday before another system may
bring some rain showers to the area Friday into Saturday. A
return to mainly dry weather arrives for the second half of the
weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 AM THIS MORNING/...
short wave trough moving through OH and into wrn PA now. The
precip is on time. Sleet being reported at quite a few places
locally. All light stuff, though. HRRR progs precip to be out
to the east by mid-morning...perhaps a little slower than going
fcst. The visby and cigs have not come down to the ridges quite
yet. But, we do anticipate a significant lowering to the clouds
and some drizzle/fzdz may form later tonight. Mentions of fog
and mixed precip are in the grids, and feel comfortable with
those mentions.
Prev...
A fast moving low pressure system will move through the area
later today through tonight. Some warm air advection
precipitation ahead of this system has moved into parts of the
Commonwealth, but with dry air in place, much of this has been
virga or simply just very light precipitation. At some of the
higher elevations, temperatures are just cold enough at the
onset to start as some light snow, but any accumulations will be
minimal due to marginal temperatures and the light intensity of
the snow.
Tonight will be somewhat of a tricky forecast due to potential
wet bulbing allowing for temperatures to be a few degrees cooler
wherever there is steadier precipitation. This could allow for
rain to transition back to snow during the steadier
precipitation, especially at the higher elevations over east-
central PA near/along the I80 to US220 corridors in the 06-12Z
window. Snow accum is most likely on non-paved and elevated
surfaces with minimum temps hovering near to slightly above the
freezing mark. Precipitation should end/shift to the east by
7AM/12Z Wednesday.
&&
.SHORT TERM /7 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure will bring mainly dry weather to the area for
Wednesday and Thursday, but lingering low level moisture will
likely keep clouds in place for most of the Commonwealth. Clouds
will be present area-wide on Thursday, but Wednesday may
actually have some sunshine for areas north of I-80. Seasonable
temperatures are expected with highs in the mid 40s to lower 50s
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Another system will slide eastward from the Ohio Valley Friday
into Saturday, but there is a bit of uncertainty regarding how
far north the precipitation gets. Some guidance, such as the 12Z
ECMWF keeps most of the precipitation south of the Commonwealth,
while other guidance, such as the 12Z GFS, as the axis of
steadier precipitation moving right through PA. The NBM captures
this uncertainty relatively well with chance PoPs across most of
the area. After this system moves through, drier weather arrives
for the second half of the weekend into early next week.
&&
.AVIATION /07Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Weak surface low pressure near KDCA with an inverted trough
extending north into Central PA was being supported by a potent
albeit compact upper level short wave moving across SW/Scent PA
at 07Z.
Wet Bulb Zero C temps are under 1000 ft AGL across the Bulk of
Central PA (with the exception of far southern PA, the Laurel
Highlands and West Central Mtns. Significant bright banding
shows large water-coated snowflakes making it to the ground now
at KUNV and we expect the precip type to be mainly snow between
08-11Z (after about an hour of initial light rain 07-08Z) at
KIPT, KAOO and KSEG.
Conditions during this 2-3 hour burst of MDT intensity precip
will be mainly IFR to low-end MVFR Vsbys and IFR CIGS.
Precip Type at KMDT and KLNS should be mainly rain with a
little wet snow possibly mixed in between 09-12Z today.
After the rain/snow moves out of the area between 12-13Z today
there will still likely be some IFR ceiling restrictions around
through most of the late morning. Some gradual improvement is
expected by late Wednesday morning/early afternoon.
Outlook...
Wednesday afternoon through Thursday...Partial improvement in
conditions, but some lingering restrictions possible due to
lower clouds.
Friday through Saturday...Rain and associated restrictions
likely.
Sunday...Mainly VFR.
