Discussion
High pressure is pushing off the coast this morning and a slow-moving low pressure system will impact the region with some rainfall from later this morning into the late night and it’ll be noticeably colder as we close out the work week. In fact, it'll be cold enough across the higher elevations regions of east-central and northeast PA this morning for some ice and/or snow to fall at the onset of this precipitation event. This late week system looks like it will get out of here just in time to squeeze out a pretty decent-looking mainly dry and noticeably milder weekend before another system impacts the region early next week. It’ll turn even warmer on Monday and Tuesday and the combination of a warm front and a cold front will likely result in occasional showers on both days and perhaps a few thunderstorms mixed in as well.
