Closings, delays and snow emergencies in south-central Pennsylvania
NOW, THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST CHRISTINE FERREIRA. GOOD MORNING. HERE’S OUR WEATHER HEADLINES. WE HAVE THE COLDEST DAY OF THE WEEK TODAY. HIGHS WILL BE NEAR FREEZING. BUT IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIKE THE TEENS THIS MORNING AND 20S THIS AFTERNOON THANKS TO THAT BREEZE. SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE TONIGHT COATING TO AN INCH OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. AND THEN TOMORROW AFTERNOON WE WARM UP TO 46 DEGREES. WE’RE ALSO FOLLOWING A POSSIBLE RAIN SNOW MIX LATE ON THURSDAY. FOR THURSDAY EVENING, A SYSTEM IS GOING TO SCOOT BY TO OUR SOUTH. DOES IT BRING US ANY PRECIPITATION OR DOES IT JUST GRAZE BY OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES? I’LL SHOW YOU THAT. COMING UP, HERE’S THE PREDICTOR THIS MORNING SHOWING THAT WE GET A LOT OF SUNSHINE TODAY. I THINK A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE AS WE HEAD TOWARD EVENING. AND THEN CLOUDS FILTER IN TONIGHT. HERE’S 2 A.M. NOT MUCH HAPPENING, BUT BY THE TIME WE GET TO 3:04 A.M., YOU NOTICE THESE SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS AROUND SOME VERY LIGHT SNOW OVERNIGHT. IN SOME SPOTS, YOU MIGHT NOT SEE MUCH AT ALL. NOW, I STILL THINK THIS STICKS AROUND AT 8:00 TOMORROW MORNING, BUT THEN IT HITS THE ROAD AND WE SHOULD SEE SOME CLEARING IN THE AFTERNOON. SO WE’LL POP INTO THE 40S. ANY LIGHT SNOW, ANY COATING THAT YOU GET IN THE MORNING WILL QUICKLY MELT EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON. THEN A COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH LATER ON WEDNESDAY. SO HERE’S A LOOK AT OUR PREDICTOR. ESTIMATED SNOWFALL TOTALS. AND AGAIN NOT A LOT. SOME OF YOU MIGHT MISS OUT ON THE SNOW. OTHERS MIGHT JUST GET A QUICK COATING TO AROUND AN INCH. NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST FOR TODAY. WE HAVE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES THIS MORNING. IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIKE THE TEENS THOUGH. IT’S NOT ALL THAT WARM TODAY. 32 IS OUR HIGH. AVERAGE HIGHS ARE AROUND 44 DEGREES THIS EVENING. A FEW CLOUDS BRISK AND COLD AND THEN CLOUDS FILTER IN TONIGHT. OVERNIGHT THAT LIGHT SNOW. THE SNOW SHOWERS COME THROUGH WITH A COATING TO AN INCH 22 TO 26 DEGREES. AND TOMORROW WE POP INTO THE 40S THANKS TO A WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTH IN THE MORNING AND AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT, WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF A WESTERLY BREEZE THAT ALWAYS TENDS TO WARM US UP, SO I DO THINK WE AIM FOR THE 40S TOMORROW WITH SOME AFTERNOON CLEARING. HERE’S YOUR CURRENT 22 IN SELINSGROVE, 24 IN LANCASTER. WE HAVE 24 FOR HARRISBURG AND CARLISLE AND CHAMBERSBURG. THAT’S HALF THE STORY THOUGH, BECAUSE LOOK AT THE WIND SPEEDS THERE, STILL BLOWING AROUND 20MPH IN HARRISBURG MAKING IT FEEL LIKE TEN DEGREES. FEELS LIKE 14 IN LEBANON, 15 RIGHT NOW IN YORK. THOSE CHILLS ARE BACK. SO FOR THE MORNING, THE NOR’EASTER IS LONG GONE. IT’S UP IN ATLANTIC CANADA, BUT WE’RE STILL GETTING WINDY CONDITIONS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THAT STORM. SO AS THE STORM PULLS AWAY, OUR WINDS GENTLY SUBSIDE THROUGHOUT THE DAY, PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. THIS AFTERNOON. TONIGHT, AND THAT QUICK SHOT OF SNOW OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, EARLY TOMORROW MORNING MIGHT JUST PUT A COATING ON THE ROADS FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE. SO SOMETHING TO BE MINDFUL OF AS WE HEAD TOWARD TOMORROW EVENING. A COLD FRONT COMES IN THAT COULD SPARK A STRAY SHOWER, AND THEN THAT FRONT SETTLES TO OUR SOUTH. AS WE GET INTO THURSDAY. SO THURSDAY, STARTING OUT WITH SOME SUNSHINE LOOKS LIKE A NICE DAY. THURSDAY EVENING. LOOK WHAT THE PREDICTOR DOES. IT BRINGS A SYSTEM SCOOTING JUST BY TO OUR SOUTH. DO WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT SNOW MIX? A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN LATE THURSDAY EVENING? THAT’S THE QUESTION. IT LOOKS LIKE A VERY CLOSE SHAVE RIGHT HERE. SO TOOK A LOOK AT SOME OTHER MODELS. HERE’S ONE FOR COMPARISON’S SAKE. YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT PRECIPITATION CUTS EVER SO SLIGHTLY. A LITTLE BIT OF A WINTRY MIX TO RAIN JUST TO OUR SOUTH. ANOTHER MODEL GIVES US A BETTER CHANCE OF SNOW. SO IT ALL DEPENDS ON OUR TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY AND HOW FAR NORTH THE TRACK OF THAT SYSTEM COMES. I DO FAVOR A MORE SUPPRESSED TRACK, SO WE’LL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THE OFFICIAL OUTLINE. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE TEN DAY FORECAST THOUGH 38 IS THE HIGH ON THURSDAY. WE’RE AT 40 DEGREES ON FRIDAY. LOOKS LIKE A NICE END TO THE WEEK. WE BUMP TO 50 ON SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE SITS OVERHEAD. SUNDAY LOOKS GOOD, SEASONABLE, JUST A LITTLE BIT COOLER AT 44. AND THEN NEXT WEEK SOME COLDER AIR COMES IN. MONDAY INTO TUESDAY WE COULD SEE A MIX TO RAIN TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY, SO WE’RE STILL FOLLOWING THAT ONE FOR YOU.
