KEY MESSAGE 1: Dry forecast holds for the next 6-7 days

We don't see any new evidence in our suite of model guidance to deviate away from our existing rain-free forecast.

A large high pressure system at the surface, along with a ridge axis aloft, will keep the Commonwealth rain-free through the early part of the upcoming work week. We do expect a cold front to drop southward across the region Monday night into early Tuesday, but with only shallow moisture levels to work with, just some patchy cloudiness and no rainfall are the expectations.

After a brief shot of seasonably cool air Tuesday into Wednesday, a warming trend is likely later in the week, along with continued rain-free conditions. At least southern portions of the Commonwealth should pop back into the 70s as we approach next weekend.

Aviation

High pressure over the area will result in clear skies and light winds into Sunday and predominantly VFR conditions well into the upcoming week. Under a strong inversion early this morning, there could be an isolated thin layer of haze and fog at any location, as was the case just before sunrise at AOO on Saturday. Williamsport sees the highest chance of valley fog with probabilities standing at 30-40 pct this morning and again Monday morning.
