About this listen

 Good afternoon. Pennsylvania. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside right now and you'll think someone reset the calendar. It's 46 degrees. That's not a typo — we're starting the day warmer than most March afternoons. Sunshine owns the entire state today. Southeast Pennsylvania climbs to 70 degrees by late afternoon. Central PA hits 68. Western PA reaches 69, with southwest winds gusting to 13 miles an hour. Here's the catch — humidity drops into the upper 20s. That combination of dry air and gusty winds creates fire weather concerns. If you're thinking about burning brush today, don't. Tonight stays mild. Southeast PA drops to 46 with patchy fog developing after 4 A.M. Central PA cools to 43 under mostly clear skies. Western PA bottoms out at 52 — warmer than this morning's low. Tuesday pushes even higher. Southeast PA reaches 74 after morning fog clears. Central PA tops out at 75 under sunny skies. Western PA hits 72, though a slight chance of rain develops after 8 A.M. Here's where it gets dramatic. Tuesday and Wednesday bring record-challenging warmth — 30 degrees above average. Wednesday stays in the low to mid 70s statewide, but a strong cold front barrels through Wednesday night into Thursday. Parts of central and western PA face a slight risk for severe weather Wednesday afternoon and evening. Damaging winds and hail are possible. Behind that front? A temperature crash. Thursday's highs only reach the upper 40s to near 60, with rain possibly changing to snow showers across higher terrain. Gusty northwest winds make it feel even colder. Friday through the weekend settles into more seasonable March weather — upper 40s to mid 50s with occasional chances for rain or snow showers. Enjoy the warmth while it lasts. The weather gods are about to remember it's still March. See you this evening.
