Sunny but windy Friday, showers return Saturday

While the start of the weekend features the chance for rain, Easter Sunday is trending dry and mild!

PENNSYLVANIA, USA — TURNING BREEZY: It's a cooler start to our Friday thanks to clear skies and light winds letting temperatures drop down into the 30s across the area. Those clear skies will lead to abundant sunshine as we wrap up the work week. Afternoon temperatures will be in the middle 50s this afternoon, though winds pick up through the day as well. Expect winds out of the northwest to increase to 10-20 mph with gusts as high as 30 mph. These winds will slowly fade as we go overnight into Saturday.

EASTER WEEKEND: Saturday starts dry with some sunshine, though clouds quickly return ahead of our next chance for rain. Scattered showers are likely starting around noon and continuing through the evening. Rainfall will be light in nature with accumulations around a quarter of an inch or less in total. Temperatures are a bit higher Saturday with lows in the mid 30s and highs in the mid to upper 50s. We dry out for Easter Sunday with a mix of sun and clouds for the end of the weekend. It's a milder day too with highs climbing into the upper 50s to low 60s.

UNSETTLED NEXT WEEK: Unfortunately, the mild temperatures and dry weather for Easter doesn't last into the new week. In fact, the first half of next week is trending wet with showers likely Monday through Wednesday. Skies are cloudy and temperatures drop back to the low to mid 50s for afternoon highs. This next system looks to exit late next week, though it will bring another round of gusty winds as it exits.
