Greensboro, North Carolina to Altoona, Pennsylvania
Posted by Ryan
Welcome to a road trip featuring one of the longest titles ever. It's going to be a 7 hour trip, and covers almost 400 miles. Expect a slow rate that covers ground at about 56mph. Shall we?
Our drive on Saturday will be rather easy. We'll meander through the mountains of the eastern time zone. Expect warm temperatures for the day, well above average. Keep the windows down, because we won't have any precipitation at all for the entire 7 hour day. Altoona could be clearing 80 by the time we get there!

We're off to the Appalachians of central Pennsylvania for today's forecast. Perhaps they will be able to see a couple of nice days after a snowy winter.
At 1253PM, ET, Altoona was reporting a temperature of 77 degrees with clear skies. The primary system is a slow moving but energetic system along the Missouri River. It is inducing the southerly flow over the eastern third of the country that has contributed to the warm temperatures across central Pennsylvania today.
A massive Atlantic Ridge will help cause a broad trough over the center of the country swing north into Canada, and will kill any moisture before it reaches the Altoona area. Expect an increase in clouds tomorrow, but temperatures well above average.
