** DROUGHT CONCERNS INCREASING ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA**

The below-average rainfall pattern is looking increasingly likely to continue into the second half of September. The GFS model, in agreement with other models & ensembles, is painting a dire picture with 16-day precipitation anomalies significantly below average across the state. We are looking at a near repeat of the drought conditions that lingered through last autumn. If this verifies and we do continue to see a lack of rainfall, the fall wildfire season may be elevated once again as leaves begin to drop. Stay tuned! 🌵

** PENNSYLVANIA 2025 FALL FOLIAGE FORECAST **

With us heading deeper into September, we are closer to the fall foliage season! Fall foliage is a spectacular sight here in Pennsylvania, which helps to bring in millions of tourists into the state to enjoy the spectacular colors of a variety of trees across our forests and state parks. This map was created based on the recent peak fall foliage times over the last few years, elevation data, recent temperature/precipitation trends, and what is expected with our weather conditions in the future.

In general, I expect fall foliage to peak a little earlier this year than in most regular years, due to the recent cool and dry pattern. The developing drought stress from mid-to-late summer is already causing leaves to drop across portions of the state. While a general warming trend is still expected into mid-September, we will still have plenty of cooler nights to satisfy the leaves changing. The best conditions for fall foliage colors are cool, crisp nights followed by seasonable/warm sunny days.

FALL FOLIAGE PA WEATHER PLUS PROJECTED PEAKS:

AREA A - Leaning toward early October. Exact dates may be anywhere between October 6th - October 13th

AREA B - Leaning toward mid-October. Exact dates may be anywhere between October 13th - October 21st

AREA C - Leaning toward mid to late October. Exact dates may be anywhere between October 21st - October 29th

AREA D - Leaning toward late October to perhaps early November. Exact days may be anywhere from October 29th - November 5th

If our pattern turns windier or more filled with precipitation, this may shift the peak forecasted dates. High wind events will increase the leaf drop rates, and precipitation may help dull colors.

Good morning, Pennsylvania, happy Monday! It will be another warm day with high temperatures climbing into the upper-70s to low-80s across the state under a mix of sun and clouds. It will be a beautiful beginning to the week, although it will feel a bit warm for mid-September. Enjoy the sun!

SOME SHOWERS RETURN WEDNESDAY... A weak coastal low will bring a few showers across portions of southeastern PA on Wednesday morning through the early afternoon hours. These showers should be overall spotty and will not be around all day. No other notable precipitation events are expected for the next 10 days, so our drought concerns will continue to worsen.

Stay tuned for updates!

** DROUGHT CONTINUES TO EXPAND IN PENNSYLVANIA **

With the recent lack of rainfall, areas of moderate to severe drought are beginning to show up across the state, primarily across the western and central portions. With the lack of rainfall expected in the coming weeks, I would not be surprised to see these areas continue to worsen. This drought will have an impact on fall foliage across affected regions and will possibly have an impact on groundwater. Stay tuned! 🌵

AREA A - Severe Drought (D2)
AREA B - Moderate Drought (D1)
AREA C - Dry Conditions, Watching for Drought (D0)

** LANTERN FLIES (SPOTTED) ON RADAR **

No pun intended! 😉 Did you know the radar can spot and observe more than precipitation? This afternoon (again), the low reflectivity values shown on the radar imagery across the Pittsburgh region are bugs- and most of them are more than likely lantern flies. Yuck!

[Error: The date in the header should read Sunday, September 14]

Good morning, Pennsylvania, happy Sunday! It will be a beautiful day across the state with high temperatures climbing once again into the upper-70s to low-80s with a few spots possibly climbing into the mid-80s. It will feel like summer! ☀️

ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES CONTINUE... We will begin to enter a warmer period of the month with above-average temperatures holding for the 7 - 10 days. We will likely see temperatures climb into the low-80s for many spots this upcoming week, with some areas increasingly likely to climb even into the mid-80s. Summer does not want to let go!
Stay tuned for updates! d

ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES CONTINUE INTO LATE SEPTEMBER...

Above-average temperatures have returned, and recent signals point to the warmth sticking around into the days of September, especially between September 21st and the 27th. High temperatures could rise into the upper-70s to low-80s with overnight temperatures only falling into the mid-50s to low-60s. Lots of sunny and warm days are still ahead- make the most out of it! There are indications that a cooler pattern will return as we head into the final few days of September and into early October. Stay tuned! ☀️
