Fall-Like Weather Coming To Pennsylvania: What To Expect

PENNSYLVANIA — If you're ready to put on a sweatshirt and turn off the AC, this weekend will be your opportunity.

Fall-like weather is on the way, and low temperatures will descend to the 50s to start out the weekend.

The dose of autumn has begun with a wet and cloudy day Friday. Showers will continue through the afternoon, and temperatures Friday night will go down to the upper 50s.

The air will remain cooler than normal as the weekend goes on. High temperatures Saturday and Sunday will be in the mid to upper 70s.

The cool down is a result of a high pressure system from northern Canada. It will bring temperatures between 5 and 10 degrees below normal this weekend.
