Freezing fog advisory in effect for parts of south-central Pennsylvania
IN SOME SPOTS ON SUNDAY, BUT HIGHS GET UP TO 42 IN THE AFTERNOON. TODAY OUR NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST STARTS OUT WITH AN IMPACT MORNING BECAUSE WE HAVE AREAS OF FREEZING FOG. WE JUST GOT A FREEZING FOG ADVISORY. TEMPERATURES NOW ARE IN THE 20S AND WHERE THE FOG IS VERY DENSE, ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHWEST COUNTIES, WHICH I’LL SHOW YOU ON THE MAP IN A MINUTE. THAT’S WHERE WE COULD SEE SOME SLICK SPOTS BECAUSE OF THAT FREEZING FOG. BUT FOR THE AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY SEES SUNSHINE. WE GET TO 48 DEGREES. CLEAR SKIES, LIGHT WINDS THIS EVENING. TONIGHT. MOSTLY CLEAR. NOT AS COLD AS THIS MORNING. WILL BE AROUND FREEZING FOR OUR LOWS. AND TOMORROW WE HAVE MOSTLY SUNNY, WARM AND PLEASANT CONDITIONS. WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ALL WEEK. 54 TO 58 DEGREES FOR THE HIGHS TOMORROW. ENJOY. HERE’S A LOOK AT OUR CURRENT ASSETS. 23 IN LEWISTOWN, 24 IN HARRISBURG, 26 IN LANCASTER. CHECK OUT YORK AT 24 WITH 28 IN CHAMBERSBURG AND GETTYSBURG. AND THAT’S WHERE THE FOG IS REALLY SET IN, IN PARTS OF YORK COUNTY, ADAMS COUNTY, FRANKLIN COUNTY, CUMBERLAND COUNTY, ALSO UNDER THIS ADVISORY. SO PLEASE USE CAUTION, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ENCOUNTER THAT DENSE FOG. THERE COULD BE SOME SLICK SPOTS HERE AND THERE. WIND SPEEDS CALM ACROSS THE ENTIRE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. HIGH PRESSURE IS PARKED FIRMLY OVERHEAD, AND AS SOON AS THAT FOG CLEARS, WE SHOULD BE ENJOYING WALL TO WALL SUNSHINE FOR THE AFTERNOON. ANY CLOUDS? RAIN. STAY WELL TO OUR SOUTH TODAY. HERE’S THE PREDICTOR SHOWING HIGH PRESSURE RIGHT OVERHEAD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, GIVING YOU MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. TONIGHT IT SETTLES TO OUR SOUTH. WE SHOULD SEE PARTLY CLOUDY TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES OVERNIGHT AND TOMORROW TEMPERATURES SOAR INTO THE 50S. IT’S LOOKING LIKE A BEAUTIFUL DAY. BUT SUNDAY THINGS ARE GOING TO QUICKLY CHANGE. NOTICE THIS COLD FRONT DROPS IN. IN THE MORNING THERE WILL BE SOME SCATTERED RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS ALONG THAT FRONT. I DON’T THINK THEY’RE GOING TO SLOW YOU DOWN FOR ANY SUNDAY SERVICES OR EARLY MORNING PLANS YOU MAY HAVE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE FREEZING LATER IN THE DAY. WE CLEAR OUT AND WE HIT THE LOW 40S. LET’S TALK ABOUT NEXT WEEK. WE’VE BEEN TRACKING THIS SYSTEM BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY. AND NOTICE THAT MONDAY SYSTEM KEEPS GETTING WEAKER AND WEAKER. AND LATER AND LATER IN THE DAY. SO SAY AFTERNOON EVENING. THERE COULD BE A FEW SNOW SHOWERS AROUND ON MONDAY, BUT TUESDAY WE ARE STILL FOCUSED ON THE CHANCE FOR A WINTRY MIX. COULD START OUT AS SNOW OR SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN IN SOME AREAS EARLY TUESDAY, AND THEN CHANGE OVER INTO RAIN BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON TUESDAY EVENING. SO WE’RE STILL FOUR DAYS OUT. THERE’S PLENTY OF TIME TO PIN DOWN TYPE OF PRECIPITATION AND TIMING, BUT I DO SEE A MIXED SYSTEM AFFECTING US ON TUESDAY. AFTER THAT, WE HAVE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON WEDNESDAY, SOME ON THURSDAY, SOME ON FRIDAY, EVEN SATURDAY. IT’S NOT GOING TO BE RAINING ALL THE TIME. I KNOW THE TEN DAY LOOKS A LITTLE WET THERE, BUT WE WILL SEE PERIODS OF RAIN OR RAIN AT TIMES ALONG WITH THE WARMING TREND. SO NOTICE AS A SERIES OF FRONTS MOVE OVER THE AREA, WE WARM FROM
