According to data observations, at around 3:40 a.m. last night, we hit 0°F, breaking the record of 2°F, which was set back in 1948!Partly sunny conditions will continue through the during the evening with temperatures lowering through degrees. Factor in the 5-15 mph breeze and that makes it feel like the single digits outside. Be sure to bundle up again if you’re heading out this evening. Due to how cold it has become, the National Weather Service has issued another Cold Weather Advisory from now until 10 a.m. Sunday. We will also issue another Impact Day for the very cold wind chills. Wind chills may drop as low as -15°F!The Nor’easter we’ve been watching all week will move out to sea & away from the Susquehanna Valley. However, as the strong area of low pressure moves northeast, winds will increase. Sunday’s winds will be sustained, out of the northwest 15-25, with gusts to 35 mph. Clouds early will clear during the afternoon. Highs will climb to the low to mid 20s, but it will feel like single digits.Temperatures warm slightly on Monday to 30 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Tuesday’s high will finally crack the freezing mark, reaching 34 degrees.We’re watching a clipper that could bring snow showers late Wednesday into early Thursday, and another system that could bring a chance of snow showers late Friday into early Saturday. The good news is, temperatures won’t be as harsh as this past week. Expect highs around freezing, and lows in the mid-to-upper teens much of next week. Temperatures will trend colder again for the following weekend.Have a great rest of your evening! Stay safe & warm!~ Ryan
