IMPACT DAYS | Coldest air of the season hits Pennsylvania with frigid wind chills

Pennsylvania braces for the coldest air of the season as a storm system brings frigid temperatures and strong winds, making Monday and Tuesday Impact Days.

LET’S TALK ALL ABOUT THE FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES, BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE THE TALKER TODAY, TONIGHT, TOMORROW, AS WE GET OUR FIRST COLD SNAP OF THE SEASON. RIGHT NOW, WIND CHILLS IN SOME SPOTS ARE IN THE 30S, BUT THEY’RE GOING TO CONSISTENTLY BE IN THE 30S THIS AFTERNOON. HERE WE ARE AT LUNCHTIME AND THROUGH EARLY EVENING. NOW BY MID EVENING THESE WIND CHILLS THEY WILL DIP INTO THE 20S AND CONTINUE TO FALL OVERNIGHT. SO BY THIS TIME TOMORROW MORNING WE COULD HAVE SOME WIND CHILLS IN THE TEENS IN THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. AND THEY DON’T IMPROVE TOO MUCH IN THE AFTERNOON, ONLY TO THE LOW 30S. SO CERTAINLY SOME IMPACTFUL COLD WEATHER HEADED OUR WAY FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. CHILLS WILL BE IN THE 30S MOST OF THE DAY TODAY, TOMORROW. STILL BLUSTERY, EVEN STRONGER WINDS. SO IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIKE THE 20S AND 30S MOST OF THE DAY. BUT HIGHS DO REBOUND TO THE LOW 50S BY WEDNESDAY. TODAY, OUR NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST CALLS FOR TEMPERATURES 42 TO 46. WE ALREADY HIT OUR HIGH OF 50 AT MIDNIGHT. NOW, THAT MAY NOT SEEM THAT BAD, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE CHILLY THIS AFTERNOON WHEN WE DON’T GET OUT OF THE 30S FOR WIND CHILLS. TONIGHT, IMPACTS CONTINUE BECAUSE LOWS WILL DIP INTO THE 20S TO NEAR 30, BUT WIND CHILLS IN SOME SPOTS COULD BE IN THE UPPER TEENS AS KIDS WAIT FOR THE BUS TOMORROW MORNING. TOMORROW AFTERNOON, WE’LL RECOVER TO THE LOW 40S. AVERAGE HIGH IS 56 FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, BUT WIND CHILLS, 20S AND 30S MOST OF THE DAY TOMORROW. HERE’S A LOOK BACK AT YESTERDAY. 56 WAS OUR HIGH AVERAGES 57 NOW ONLY THREE HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH OF RAIN FELL IN HARRISBURG, BUT SOME SPOTS, ESPECIALLY SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES, GOT CLOSE TO AN INCH OF RAIN. BY THE TIME IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE, YOU HAD A ROUND IN THE MORNING AND AROUND LATER IN THE EVENING. TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW THEY’RE IN THE 40S ON THEIR WAY DOWN. WINDS ARE PICKING UP BEHIND THIS FRONT TO ABOUT 10 TO 20MPH OUT OF THE NORTHWEST. SO WE’RE DONE WITH THE SHOWERS. WON’T RULE OUT A SPRINKLE OR A FLURRY, BUT AGAIN, THE BIG TALKER IS GOING TO BE THE WIND AND THE CHILLY TEMPERATURES. SPEAKING OF THE CHILL, LOOK AT THAT. THOSE ARE FREEZE WARNINGS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE DEEP SOUTH AND SNOW BACK IN THE MIDWEST. FOR US TODAY, I THINK THE CLOUDS HANG TOUGH. WE’LL SEE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, HIGHS IN THE 40S, CHILLS IN THE 30S. TONIGHT WE CLEAR OUT AND THAT WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO DROP IN SOME SPOTS IN THE UPPER 20S. SO THOSE WIND CHILLS COULD VERY WELL BE IN THE UPPER TEENS TOMORROW MORNING. TOMORROW AFTERNOON MAYBE A PASSING SNOW SHOWER NORTH OF THE TURNPIKE OR A FEW FLURRIES. BUT AGAIN, THE BIG STORY IS GOING TO BE THAT WIND AND THE CHILL, THE CHILL FINALLY LIFTS OUT ON WEDNESDAY. WE’LL SEE A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE. IT’S STILL BREEZY, BUT TEMPERATURES DO REBOUND BACK TO THE 50S. SO 52 DEGREES ON WEDNESDAY, 52 ON THURSDAY. WE’LL GO 54. FRIDAY. FAIRLY UNEVENTFUL THERE AT THE END OF THE WEEK WEATHER WISE. SATURDAY IS DRY. SUNDAY MAY FEATURE A SPRINKLE. KEEP AN EYE ON IT, BUT A BETTER CHANCE OF RAIN ARRIVES ON MONDAY WITH A COLD FRONT COMING THROUGH. SO BEHIND THAT, NOT ALL THAT COLD. IT’S JUST GOING TO DROP A COUPLE OF DEGREES INTO THE 50S. I DON’
