Yet another weekend without a spring break has arrived, but there are some State College events to help distract students from midterms.

If you need a break or just a pick-me-up, here are some things to do this weekend.

Weekend weather forecast: March 19-21

From 70-degree rain to freezing winds, the weather in State College over the past week has been unpredictable.

To minimize the shock as you step outside this weekend, here is the weather forecast as of Thursday night for Friday through Sunday, via Accuweather.

Friday

On Friday, expect a high of 42 degrees and a low of 24 and “mostly sunny and breezy” skies.

You may want to keep small dogs inside with the projected 25 mph wind gusts throughout Friday. Throwing a frisbee on Old Main Lawn is not recommended.

Saturday

With a break from the heavy winds, Saturday will be 54 degrees with a low of 30. Keep a light jacket with you, but try to spend this clear day soaking in the sun.

Sunday

Sunday will bring the warmest weather with a high of 58 degrees and a low of 29.

Due to the sunny forecast, the temperature will feel like 63 degrees, which makes for the best day to plan outdoor activities. Don’t forget your shades.

Friday, March 19

With little in terms of scheduled events in State College on Friday, taking the day to stay inside and watch movies may be the best option.

With the strong winds and potentially lasting hangovers from St. Patrick’s Day on Wednesday, this is a good day to recover.
