RE: PA Archery Opener Weather
Can't wait!! I have a few spots in mind, and all my stands hung already!! 
My morning stand for opening day:
Red spot is stand site
Pink line is the main trail/rub line going into bedding
blue is a stream
brown is bedding cover and covered with rubs
green is oak trees, and feeding
My evening stand for opening day:
Green is feeding area, all beautiful clover/alfalfa
blue is a stream they have to cross every day
Pink is a rub line/stream crossing
Brown is bedding cover
Red spot is my stand which has a fresh rub the size of my calf directly below it
The white is the wind direction in the evenings.
We have spot lighted deer in this field just after dark that were well over 100" on a consistent basis, and they all have to cross that stream in the same spot.

I 2nd the 20 degrees colder. If I were going fishing, 74 would be nice. For hunting, I'd like a morning in the 30s with a high around 60. I'll take hot and sunny over pea soup fog, though.

According to the weather.com the weather forcastfor my neck of PA is about the same. I wish it were a little cooler but I'll take low 70's over these mid 80's anyday.

RE: PA Archery Opener Weather
According to weather.com , my weather will be sunny. Friday night low will be 45 and Saturday high will be 67. We're on top of a mountain so it's usually about 5 degrees colder than the temp at the nearest "towns".
