ALERT: Dangerous wind chills, strong winds over the weekend for South-Central Pennsylvania

Wind chills as low as -20° possible early and sub-zero winds the rest of the day. Strong gusty winds are expected all day today. They continue to be gusty on Sunday.

Good afternoon. It is an alert day today due to dangerous wind chills that are possible, especially because of those strong wind gusts. Close to 50 to 55 MPH at times. Wind advisories in effect, along with an extreme cold warning. We’ll continue with subzero wind chills into Sunday morning. Winds will diminish. But not until late evening on Sunday and then temperatures will turn around, but it may be *** bit more active as we head further into, uh, the work week. Cold weather alerts, as I mentioned, an extreme cold warning is in effect until 10:00 a.m. Sunday for the entire area. We also have *** wind advisory in effect until this evening at 10:00 p.m. Uh, when, when we look at the temperature versus the wind chill, we’re not going to see highs moving *** whole lot, only around 12 this afternoon. But look at this, this is what you’re dressing for. Temperatures will feel like -10, -15 at times during the afternoon hours. Uh, tomorrow, look at this, tomorrow morning again, we could have -15 to -2. 20 wind chill values in the morning and then in the afternoon slowly starting to improve. Still subzero wind chills early afternoon but single digits as we head into the late afternoon. So certainly *** weekend where you want to stay indoors today. Here’s *** look at predictor wind gusts. At times they could come close to 50 MPH, maybe even exceeding briefly. They’ll stay pretty elevated overnight tonight, anywhere from 35 to 40 MPH and continue quite strong in the morning hours, but it’ll be in the afternoon and the evening when they start to subside and diminish as high pressure builds on in. So your forecast for today, *** mix of sun and clouds. Temperatures only around 12, but again you’re dressing for those wind chill values anywhere from -5 to -15. Clear skies tonight allows temperatures to drop into the single digits, but with those gusty winds persisting. Wind chill values will range from -5 to -15 below. Lots of sunshine for the second half of the weekend. However, it is going to be *** frigid start to the day again with those wind chill values, uh, as cold as -15 below. And then in the afternoon we’ll slowly climb from subzero wind chills to the single digits as those winds continue to diminish. We finally see temperatures turning around as we head towards Tuesday. We come close to average on Wednesday, but as you can. For much of the next 7 days we stay just *** little bit below average all the way through Friday. We’re watching *** system on Wednesday that could bring us *** chance for *** mix, possibly to rain as temperatures climb into the upper 30s. It’s dry Thursday. Another system on Friday again, *** mix of rain possible with temperatures around 34. Valentine’s weekend, uh, it looks like another system that could clip us with some rain and snow showers. Of course we’ll keep you posted as we head through the week.
