What’s summer 2021 going to be like? Forecasters predict slightly warmer days, thunderstorms
Updated Apr 29, 2021;
As spring is rounding the corner into May, forecasters are glancing at the summer outlook, which looks mostly in line with last year’s patterns, according to the National Weather Service at State College.
“So far, spring has been decent,” said meteorologist John Banghoff. “It’s been a roller coaster of an April with some much warmer and cooler days than usual. We’ll hope for warm days, but not too warm in May, so we can get outside to enjoy some social activities after a long winter.”
Another inch or 2 of snow is anticipated for late Thursday night into Friday, Gartner said.
The weak system is expected to mostly stay south of Pennsylvania, and while the area could see snow or flurries, not much accumulation is expected, Walker said.
Washington, D.C. and Baltimore will likely see more from this one.
Round 3 arrives this weekend
Another chance of snow is in the forecast for Saturday into Sunday, the National Weather Service says.
But uncertainty remains with this system, including the track, Walker said. It could even be more of a mix.
Round 4: A storm early next week?
York Daily Record
A potentially significant winter storm is in the forecast for central Pennsylvania late this week, possibly delivering 6 inches or more of snow.
It comes as a coating of snow remains on the ground from several storms over the past two weeks. A nor easter dumped a foot to 16 inches last week, and another one delivered up to 3 inches over the weekend.
Light snow is in the forecast for Tuesday morning, and the area is expected to receive a coating to 2 inches from the quick-hitting storm, National Weather Service meteorologist John Banghoff said.
The coating will be closer to the state line, and the snowfall amounts will be higher to the north, he said.
