Light Snow Tonight; Tracking Unsettled Pattern Through Next Week Across South-Central Pennsylvania
A clipper will bring a quick coating to 1″ of snow across the area overnight through early Wednesday. Another chance for rain & snow is on the table for Thursday, along with next week.
THE 11TH DISTRICT, WHICH INCLUDES LANCASTER COUNTY AND PARTS OF YORK COUNTY. NOW, THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST WITH METEOROLOGIST MIKE SUSKO. EVENING. WE’RE TRACKING SOME LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS AS WE GO INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS HERE. ALREADY STARTING TO SEE SOME OF THOSE SNOW SHOWERS OUT IN OUR WESTERN COUNTIES THAT ARE STARTING TO APPROACH THE REGION HERE AND ZOOMING OUT. YOU CAN SEE THAT CLIPPER SYSTEM ALONG THE GREAT LAKES FROM DETROIT AND CLEVELAND THAT WILL BE MOVING IN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. AND THAT’S GOING TO BRING US A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW HERE COATING TO ONE INCH MAINLY ALONG THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE AND FOR AREAS NORTH OF THE TURNPIKE, YOU HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF GETTING THAT SNOW. YOU ALSO HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF DEALING WITH SOME SLICK CONDITIONS TOMORROW DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE HOURS. SO JUST BE AWARE OF THAT. THE TIMING WILL BE BETWEEN 1 A.M. AND 9 A.M. FOR THE BEST CHANCE TO SEE SOME OF THOSE SNOW SHOWERS. AND AGAIN, ONLY A COATING TO ONE INCH OF SNOW REALLY IS EXPECTED HERE. I KNOW YOU SEE THAT 1.6 FOR LEBANON, 1.8 UP IN LEWISTOWN, BUT I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT ON THE HIGH END HERE, AS THE SYSTEM IS GOING TO BE A VERY QUICK MOVER AS WE LOOK OUTSIDE LANCASTER RIGHT NOW, IT IS QUIET, MAY SEE SOME FLURRIES AS THAT SYSTEM PASSES THROUGH EARLY YOUR WEDNESDAY MORNING, BUT RIGHT NOW TEMPERATURES 25 IN LANCASTER, 29 IN HARRISBURG AS WELL AS CARLISLE AND 30 DEGREES IN GETTYSBURG. PREDICTOR SHOWING THOSE SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT TONIGHT HERE AND AROUND FIVE 6:00 IN THE MORNING AGAIN RIGHT ALONG THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE IN AREAS NORTH. THAT’S THE BEST CHANCE TO SEE SOME OF THAT LIGHT SNOW BY 8:00 9:00. THIS IS ALL PULLING AWAY. AND THEN FOR THE AFTERNOON, LOTS OF SUNSHINE AND TEMPERATURES ACTUALLY WARMING UP ALL THE WAY INTO THE MID 40S. SO IF YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT THE SNOW STICKING AROUND, DON’T BE. WE’LL HAVE IT MELTING BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON. WITH THAT CLEARING AND MILDER TEMPERATURES WITH HIGH RIGHT AROUND 46 DEGREES. THEN AS WE GO INTO YOUR THURSDAY, WE ARE WATCHING ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM, THIS ONE PASSING MAINLY TO THE SOUTH. BUT DEPENDING ON HOW FAR NORTH IT ENDS UP GETTING WITH THIS PRECIPITATION, WE MAY GET A LITTLE BIT OF MIXING THIS TIME ALONG THE TURNPIKE AND SOUTH. SO TONIGHT IS GOING TO BE NORTH OF THE TURNPIKE. THURSDAY’S SOUTH OF THE TURNPIKE, AND DEPENDING ON YOUR ELEVATION, YOU MAY GET A LITTLE BIT OF A RAIN SNOW MIX IN PARTS OF THE AREA. THAT WILL BE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY NIGHT. REALLY NOT LOOKING AT MUCH OF THE ACCUMULATION WITH THAT ONE EITHER HERE FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ALL LOOKING NICE AND QUIET. SATURDAY BEAUTIFUL, 52 DEGREES AND THAT ACTUALLY MAY BE TOO COOL. WE MAY HAVE TO INCREASE THOSE TEMPERATURES IF IT CONTINUES, BECAUSE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE THERE WILL WARM US UP. AND THEN ON SUNDAY, STILL SEASONABLE. MOSTLY CLOUDY, THOUGH AHEAD OF WHAT BECOMES A LITTLE BIT MORE ACTIVE AS WE GO INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. SOME MODELS ARE SHOWING THE CHANCE FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW AS WE GO INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. AROUND MONDAY. RIGHT NOW, CHANCES ARE RELATIVELY LOW WITH THAT LIGHT SNOW SHOWER CHANCE THERE FOR MONDAY. BUT JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND AND BE WATCHING AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. BUT FEBRUARY OVERALL WILL BE OUT LIKE A LAMB WITH THOSE HIGHS IN THE 50S AND THEN MULTIPLE CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION AS WE GO INTO NEXT WEEK FOR SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. BUT JUST KEEP IN MIND THINGS WILL CHANGE. IT’S VERY FAR OUT AND MODELS ARE GOING TO GO BACK AND FORTH OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. BUT JUST SOMETHING TO WATCH AS WE GO THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK. YOUR TEN DAY FORECAST, 46 DEGREES WILL BE THE HIGH TOMORROW. THEN WE GET TO 38 WITH THE AFTERNOON RAIN AND SNOW SHOWER. CHANCE FOR SOUTHERN AREAS ON THURSDAY, 40 ON FRIDAY. GET UP TO 52 FOR YOUR SATURDAY. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE FOR THE START OF THE WEEKEND, EVEN THE END OF THE WEEKEND. STILL LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. JUST A LITTLE MORE CLOUD COVER. YOU GOT THE MORE ACTIVE PATTERN AS WE GO INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THEN TEM
