FEDERAL POLICY. GOT SOME OVERCAST CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA. YOU CAN SEE THE FLAGS ARE GENTLY WAVING IN THE BACKGROUND. THERE IS A LIGHT BREEZE, BUT IT’S A BRISK BREEZE ACROSS THE AREA. YOU CAN ALSO SEE THEY’RE STARTING TO BLOCK OFF THE ROADS. NOW THEY’RE GOING TO BE RAISING THE HERSHEY KISS AS WE GET INTO CLOSER TO MIDNIGHT TONIGHT FOR NEW YEAR’S. LOOK AT THIS HERSHEY SKY CAM NOW IT’S A NICE VIEW OVER OVER HERSHEY RIGHT NOW, 31 DEGREES WITH A SOUTHWESTERLY NINE MILE PER HOUR BREEZE. DEFINITELY MAKES IT FEEL MORE LIKE 23 DEGREES IN CHOCOLATE TOWN. SO WEATHER HEADLINES FOR THE REST OF THIS EVENING. STILL A LITTLE BIT BREEZY. THAT BRISK BREEZE IS GOING TO BE LINGERING AROUND, SO IF YOU HAVE ANY NEW YEAR’S EVE PLANS OR FESTIVITIES THAT YOU’RE GOING TO BE ATTENDING, MAKE SURE THAT YOU’RE BUNDLING UP BECAUSE IT’S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT CHILLY OUT THERE. AND ALSO KEEP THIS IN MIND, WE HAVE AN IMPACT NIGHT SET FOR TONIGHT. COULD BE SEEING SOME SLICK SPOTS DEVELOP WITH SOME SCATTERED SNOW. SNOW SHOWERS AND ALSO SOME SQUALLS. WE ARE LOOKING AT THE CHANCE OF SEEING SOME SNOW SQUALLS TONIGHT. MOVING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST DOWN TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST FROM MIDNIGHT TILL FOUR. WE’RE GOING TO CHAT ABOUT THAT HERE IN JUST A SECOND, BUT WINDY AND COLD START TO 2026 WITH FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES DOWN TO THE TEENS FOR YOUR THURSDAY. SO FOR THIS EVENING, CLOUDY AND CHILLY, 32 DEGREES. SOME FLURRIES AROUND, BUT THEN IT WON’T BE UNTIL LATER TONIGHT WHEN WE START TO SEE THE SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS AND THOSE SNOW SQUALL. THE SNOW SQUALL POTENTIAL GOING UP FOR AGAIN 12 TO 4 A.M. THAT’S WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF THAT WINDOW TEMPERATURES GETTING DOWN INTO THE LOWER 20S. AND FOR TOMORROW, PARTLY SUNNY, WINDY AND COLD, 28 DEGREES FOR THE START OF 2026. BUT LET’S TIME SOME THINGS OUT FOR YOU. SO WE ARE EXPECTING SOME OF THESE LIGHTER SNOW SHOWERS TOWARDS THIS EVENING. CLOSER TO 8:00 THIS EVENING, I’D SAY. SEE DOWN TOWARDS OUR SOUTHEASTERN COMMUNITIES TOWARDS DAUPHIN, LEBANON, LANCASTER A LITTLE BIT INTO INTO YORK AND ADAMS COUNTY, BUT ALSO SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF A OF A SPLOTCH OF SOME OF SOME LIGHT SNOW TOWARDS MIFFLIN AND JUNIATA COUNTIES. ALTHOUGH THEN HERE COMES THIS STRONG COLD FRONT THAT’S GOING TO THAT’S GOING TO BLOW THROUGH THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. YOU CAN SEE YOU CAN SEE THE DELINEATION OF THIS COLD FRONT. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THOSE BRIGHTER WHITES THAT STARTS TO COME IN CLOSER TO TO 1:00, 2:00 IN THE MORNING, STARTS TO CONTINUE TO MOVE ITS WAY DOWN AGAIN FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST, DRAPING OVER THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY FROM DAUPHIN COUNTY TOWARDS CUMBERLAND COUNTY. FRANKLIN COUNTY ALSO PORTIONS OF PERRY COUNTY BY 3 A.M. SEE THE TIME CLOCK THERE. BY THE TIME WE GET TO ABOUT LANCASTER COUNTY, YORK COUNTY, ALSO, SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF LEBANON COUNTY. THAT’S WHERE WE START TO SEE THAT SQUALL LINE START TO MOVE THROUGH CLOSER TO 4 A.M. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND IF YOU HAVE ANY FESTIVITIES OVERNIGHT OR OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. BUT IN TERMS OF ACCUMULATION, ONLY REALLY LOOKING AT ABOUT A COATING TO MAYBE A HALF INCH OF SNOW THAT WILL BE FALLING FROM THESE SCATTERED SNOW, SNOW SHOWERS AND ALSO THESE SQUALLS. SO JUST KEEP THIS IN MIND. MIDNIGHT TO 4 A.M. SOME SLICK SPOTS ARE POSSIBLE AFTER CELEBRATIONS, SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND AS YOU’RE TRAVELING FOR OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES INTO THE 30S WERE 28. IN LEWISTOWN YOU CAN SEE THE TEMPERATURE VERSUS THE WINDCHILL GETTING DOWN TO THE LOWER 20S INTO THE TEENS. BY THE TIME WE GET INTO OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK, SEEING SOME BRIEF AREAS OF SOME ENERGY THAT ARE COMING THROUGH. BUT AS WE GET INTO THIS IS JUST FAST FORWARD. YOU CAN SEE THAT COLD FRONT HAS WENT THROUGH GETTING INTO TOMORROW EVENING FOR YOUR THURSDAY. WE DO SEE SOME CLEARING, BUT THEN WE START TO CLOUD BACK UP AS WE GET INTO OUR FRIDAY. YOU SEE MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT FRIDAY AND THEN, BUT ONCE WE GET INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY FRIDAY, WE START TO SEE SOME CLEARING FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THANKS TO HIGH PRESSURE THAT’S BUILDING IN, SO THAT SHOULD BE HELPING TO CLEAR OUR SKIES AS WE GET INTO THE AS WE GET INTO THE LAST DAY OF THE WEEK. SO SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, THOUGH CALMER AND CHILLY. SO WE’LL SEE DOWN INTO THE LOWER 30S. BUT THEN ONCE WE GET INTO NEXT WEEK, WE ARE LOOKING AT A LITTLE BIT OF AN UNSETTLED PATTERN MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY LEADING UP TO THE FARM SHOW. AS WE GET INTO THE NEXT WEEK, BUT ALSO LOOK AT THE TEMPERATURES GETTING INTO THE 40S AND ALSO GETTIN
