Sunday is an impact day
As we start the weekend, we’re going to see lots of sunshine, lots of light winds. Today. Unlike those dreary conditions yesterday, it will still be cool and running below average. I’m tracking a weak system that could bring us a winter mix tomorrow morning. Temperatures will drop above zero and turn to mainly rain showers for a few hours before the afternoon is over. hours, and the more significant possibility of a winter storm on Tuesday that we are keeping a close eye on. And I’ll talk more about that in a bit here. Some of our western and northwestern areas have received light snow and rain. Really starting to see them go down, although you can still see some light stuff here. Mifflin and Juniata counties and perhaps far eastern Perry County, but high pressure is building to help calm that activity. The temperature is cold. Skies are nearly clear across most of our area, so highs in the 23s in York, Harrisburg, Carlisle, Chambersburg, upper 20s in Lancaster and 30s in Lebanon and Gettysburg. Winds today are only 5 to 10 mph. They may gust to 5 to 15 mph this afternoon, but again, nothing as strong as yesterday. Temperature 34 degrees around 9:00. It will be mostly sunny, with some wind blowing from time to time. 40 degrees will be our highest temperature today, so still running nine degrees below average and with a slight breeze, it will feel like 30 degrees today. And you have to wear similar clothes. Clouds are increasing this evening. At 8:00 the temperature is falling to around 32 degrees. It will be mostly cloudy with some clouds. The temperature won’t really drop much. They will be in the upper 20s to low to mid 30s, and I expect some light snow to fall in the morning. So we’ll start off with a brief light snow rain mix. And then temperatures will continue to climb well above zero. So we’ll see some drizzle tomorrow afternoon with temperatures again around 40 degrees. Tomorrow is an impact day. Simply because we have the possibility of some scattered light snowfall and rain during the morning hours. Temperatures are close to zero, so there may be some slippery conditions, especially at altitude. And then during the afternoon we’re going to warm up to 40 degrees, so any mix will just turn into rain showers, which don’t really last that long. They end in the early afternoon. Snow will continue at higher elevations, but we’re not seeing much in the way of accumulation, which I’ll show you here in a moment. Dry and decreasing clouds in the evening. High pressure is in control of our weather at the moment. Here’s our next weather maker. That low pressure system is actually going to be headed primarily toward the Great Lakes. So we’re going to get clipped. The best chances for snow will be to our north and west of us. Here’s a look at the forecaster. And you can see that we will see a beautiful day. Clouds will clear up late and we’ll start to see some snow showers. Light snowfall is occurring in the morning. It is 8 am in the morning and you can see it very scattered in nature. You’re seeing rain showers just to the south, but most of the snow is north and northwest of the Susquehanna Valley. The change lasts only for a few showers. Some rain in the afternoon before drying up. Monday is looking cool, Sunday night is calm with clear skies and dry conditions, and then Monday is calm with the return of high pressure, so the start of the week will be cool with temperatures still running below average, and then the next system will make its way on Tuesday. Therefore the first part of Tuesday looks dry. Well, there is a possibility of rain tomorrow. It’s actually not all that impressive. We’re talking less than five-hundredths of an inch. And in terms of snowfall you can’t see much there. Perhaps dust is blowing over some grassy areas in the north and west. Not visible at all. So let’s talk about this system on Tuesday. We’re seeing snow develop in the afternoon and evening. There may be some adulteration. It’s going to depend on the track and we may even see moderate rainfall over our southeastern areas. So this track will be very important for who sees that snow and who sees that mix and who sees that rain. Therefore, our focus will be on this in the next few days. Is that the exact track and what kind of rainfall we could see. So stay tuned for details later this week. The ten-day forecast shows it to be mainly calm though. Temperatures remain in the upper 30s to near 40 degrees Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, so we still remain cool and breezy.
