Discussion

High pressure over the northeastern states will control the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region for another day with comfortable temperatures and humidity levels though clouds will be abundant. The high shifts off the coast by early tomorrow and there will be a cold frontal system pushing this way from our northwest. As a result, showers are likely on Saturday and temperatures should peak in the middle 70’s for highs. This will not be an all-day heavy rain type event anywhere in the Mid-Atlantic region and that includes in State College, PA where Penn State plays its home opener at noon…showers only. The front sweeps through on Saturday night and its passage will usher in another cool, crisp, fall-like air mass for Sunday and Monday of early next week.
