Month-By-Month Spring/Summer Forecast Released For PA

The Weather Channel has released its newest long-range forecast for the next three months, saying the start of spring for Pennsylvania could continue to be chillier than normal. But by June, expect things to warm up as normal.

Pennsylvania and the East Coast can expect temperatures to be cooler or close to average through May. With June, though, comes warmth. Temperatures will be normal and even above average temperatures at that time, according to the Weather Channel's predictions.

The three-month outlook forecast was released over the weekend. In it, the Weather Channel predicts early summer will be like last year, when temperatures were "fairly tame," running near or below average.

Here's a look at the Weather Channel's long-term forecast, month-by-month:

May: The East Coast can expect near-average or colder temperatures in May. The Southwest will likely experience another month of hotter-than-average temperatures.

June: Much of the East Coast will see temperatures that are near or slightly above average.

July: While there is the potential for "big-time" heat in much of the West in July, the Northeast will see temperatures that average or slightly above.
