Forecast Discussion
The unseasonably warm weather that we have experienced over the last
few days will be coming to an end as a cold front approaches the Centre
County region. The front will be passing through tonight into tomorrow.
It will bring cooler and more seasonable temperatures along with a
chance of showers. Today highs will still soar into the mid-80s with
mostly cloudy skies and the chance of a shower late in the day.
Overnight will remain mostly cloudy with an increased chance of
thundershowers with lows in the lower 60s. The showers will linger into
the day tomorrow but temperatures will be cooler.

Potential Tropical Storm Jerry
Weather forecasters are very busy this past few days, as they
continue to monitor the path of a potential tropical system in the Gulf
of Mexico. This disturbance, as it crosses over the Florida Peninsula,
is currently bringing stormy weather to the Sunshine State. In the next
few days, this low pressure system has the potential to strengthen into
a tropical storm. If named, this storm will be called Jerry. Residents
along the Gulf Coast should pay close attention to the path of this
tropical system. The map below shows the forecast for the track of this
potential tropical storm. Meteorologists think that this storm is likely
to make landfall in the vicinity of the Sugar State by Sunday. Stay
tuned for more updates.
