Pennsylvania’s Spring Weather Roller‑Coaster

"The next few days in Pennsylvania will feel like a weather theme park. Early April turns into mid‑May with quick swings between sunshine, rain and even a hint of snow. The day starts warm but then settles into a rainy, chilly stretch that could last until the middle of next week. \n\nAfter a wet weekend, temperatures climb to the mid‑60s on Monday and stay there for most of the week, according to the National Weather Service in State College. However, a rain‑laden storm arrives on Wednesday and will linger. \n\nThis extra moisture is welcome for southern and eastern parts of the state, where drought still lingers despite weekend showers.Yet the rain comes with a drop in temperature, pushing conditions below what people normally expect for this time of year. \n\nAccuWeather predicts a cold front from the north between April 30 and May 5, bringing temperatures 5 to 15 degrees lower than usual. This cool air is expected to stick around, meaning May will start off cooler than normal. \n\nOverall, residents can expect a mix of warm days and cool, wet spells as spring unfolds in Pennsylvania. "
