For those heading to watch Little League World Series games, including the weekend grand finale, the forecast seems to be pretty close to perfect.
That's not to say there won't be the occasional rain shower or thunderstorm, but there aren't any major systems moving this way for the next seven days.
"We're not seeing any big systems for the weekend, but it's a bit far off for specifics," said Craig Evanego, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in State College.

As the week begins:
Today, look for peeks of sun and a 60-percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2 p.m., with highs in the 70s.
Any showers that take place should taper off Monday night, as temperatures drop into the mid 50s.
Tuesday is forecast to be partly sunny with a 20-percent chance of afternoon showers or thunderstorms and temperatures reaching 80 degrees.
For day games, wear shorts and short-sleeves, as Wednesday through Friday will be sunny each day, with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.
During the evenings, it might be nice to have a small jacket or thicker shirt, as temperatures will drop into the 60s.
