Sub-zero wind chills deliver bitter cold morning across south-central Pennsylvania
NOW, THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST CHRISTINE FERREIRA. GOOD MORNING. 523. WE STILL HAVE A COLD WEATHER ADVISORY FOR PART OF THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY, WHERE THE WIND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE UP OVERNIGHT, PUSHING THOSE WIND CHILLS DOWN BELOW ZERO. SO RIGHT NOW WE ARE SEEING WIND SPEEDS AROUND JUST 5 TO 10MPH. AND THAT’S GOOD ENOUGH TO GET YOU A SINGLE DIGIT OR SUBZERO WIND CHILLS IN MANY SPOTS. YOU CAN SEE OUR TEMPERATURE VERSUS THE WIND CHILL TODAY. BITTER COLD START, BUT IMPROVING CONDITIONS LATER. THE TEMPERATURE AND THE WIND CHILL NOT TOO FAR APART, INDICATING THAT WINDS ARE GOING TO BE VERY LIGHT OR NEARLY CALM LATER. SO IT’S NOT GOING TO BE AS WINDY AS IT WAS OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS MORNING THOUGH, IT IS AN IMPACT MORNING FOR SUBZERO WIND CHILLS ONCE AGAIN FOR THE AFTERNOON. COLD BUT CALMER 28 DEGREES. AND THEN THIS EVENING CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE BUT WINDS REMAIN CALM TONIGHT. CALM WINDS AS WELL. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES OVERNIGHT AND TEMPERATURES IN THE TEENS TOMORROW. WE’LL SEE TEMPERATURES GETTING UP THERE. HOW ABOUT 36 TO 40? THAT SOUNDS LIKE A BIG IMPROVEMENT. WE WILL SEE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, PERHAPS A FEW FLURRIES FLOATING BY NORTH IN THE MORNING, AND THEN A RAIN OR SNOW SHOWER LATE IN THE DAY. MAINLY A RAIN SHOWER LATE IN THE DAY AS A COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH. HERE’S YOUR CURRENT 63 DEGREES IN LEWISTOWN, NINE IN CARLISLE, THREE BELOW. TEMPERATURE AT THOMASVILLE AIRPORT IN YORK COUNTY. WE HAVE EIGHT IN HARRISBURG AND SIX IN LANCASTER. BUT LOOK AT HARRISBURG WITH THE TEN MILE PER HOUR BREEZE. HARRISBURG, LANCASTER WITH A FIVE MILE PER HOUR BREEZE, CERTAINLY GOOD ENOUGH TO GET YOU SUBZERO WIND CHILLS IN MANY SO THAT’S WHY WE HAVE THE IMPACTS AGAIN FOR ONE MORE MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE RIGHT OVERHEAD. AND THAT’S HELPING TO EASE THE WIND. IT’S CERTAINLY CLEARING OUT THE SKY FOR HUNDREDS OF MILES. START THE DAY. FRIGID SUNSHINE AND INCREASING CLOUDS TOWARD EVENING. YOU CAN SEE THAT HERE ON THE PREDICTOR. BY THE TIME WE HIT 6 P.M., THE CLOUDS ARE FILTERING IN. THEY STAY WITH US OVERNIGHT. TONIGHT, THERE’S A WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTH TOMORROW. JUST THROWING A STRAY FLURRY ACROSS OUR NORTHERNMOST COUNTIES. I’LL MONITOR THAT, BUT IT SHOULDN’T SLOW YOU DOWN LATER IN THE DAY. ON TUESDAY, ESPECIALLY LATE IN THE EVENING. HERE COMES A COLD FRONT. LOOKS LIKE THAT WILL PRODUCE MAINLY RAIN SHOWERS AND JUST A COUPLE ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY LATE WELL AFTER THE EVENING COMMUTE TOMORROW. BEHIND THAT FRONT, IT DOES TURN BREEZY TO WINDY ON WEDNESDAY. WINDS GOING TO PICK UP AGAIN, BUT WE SHOULDN’T SEE THE VERY COLD, FRIGID AIR THAT WE SAW OVER THE WEEKEND THIS WEEK. SO HERE’S A LOOK AT THE TEN DAY FORECAST. WE HAVE 28 TODAY, 38 DEGREES TOMORROW. WE DO THAT 38 AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY, 34 A LITTLE COOLER FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, BUT SEASONABLE FINALLY FOR SATURDAY. THAT 40 IN THERE FOR VALENTINE’S DAY. AND THEN ON SUNDAY WE’RE WATCHING A SYSTEM THAT COULD BRING SOME RAIN OR SNOW OR A MIX OF BOTH. SO WE’LL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THAT AS IT WRAPS UP EARLY MONDAY. BUT ASIDE FROM THAT, THERE’S NOT
