Some areas, like Bedford county, are over 75% above average for the entire month already. Get used to it, [...] Take a look at the first week of April last year, versus the forecast for April 1-7: This Year's Forecast Last Year, Same Week Boy it was nice last spring, wasn’t [...] With only 2 days to go, June will go down as an above average month. Take a look at where we are now:
 We’re going to cool off Tuesday and Wednesday, and Wednesday is likely to be well below average. But we’ll still end up 1 to 2 degrees [...] Think back to early May. We had some really, really cool and wet days. We even had some snow. Well, another one of “those” is on the way. We won’t see any snow, but it’s going to be cold. Low pressure will pass right over northern PA on Wednesday. At the same time, high [...] Wasn’t it great today? At least weather-wise? Look at our afternoon highs: We’ll do it again Friday, maybe even a little warmer.
