Cloudy New Year’s Eve; snow showers expected overnight in south-central Pennsylvania
Scattered snow showers and isolated snow squalls are possible, mainly between midnight and 4 a.m.
A LIVE LOOK OVER CARLISLE RIGHT NOW. JUST EARLIER SAW A FLURRY OR TWO FLYING THROUGH THE AIR IS WATCHING JUST OVER THE CAMERA LENS. A COUPLE FLAKES FLYING THROUGH THE AIR, BUT NOT REALLY SEEING ANY FLAKES FLYING AT THIS TIME, BUT REALLY SEEING SOME MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS. 29 DEGREES IN CARLISLE FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURE DOWN TO 18 DEGREES. THAT’S ALL THANKS TO THIS WEST NORTHWESTERLY WIND AROUND 15MPH, BUT A LITTLE BREEZE BUBBLE OF SOME ENERGY JUST PASSING TOWARDS OUR NORTH, TOWARDS OUR NORTHWEST AT THIS TIME. JUST ALLOWING FOR SOME SNOW SHOWERS TO DEVELOP TOWARDS OUR NORTHWESTERN COMMUNITIES. BUT I’LL DEFINITELY TELL YOU THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS VERY WINDY. IT’S NOT AS WINDY TODAY. WE’LL SEE THE BRISK BREEZE LINGER, BUT ONCE WE GET INTO TONIGHT THOUGH, HERE’S THE STORY. WE HAVE AN IMPACT NIGHT SET FOR TONIGHT FOR SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE SNOW SQUALLS. THAT WILL BE THAT WILL BE ON TAP FOR US. SO THERE COULD BE SOME SLICK SPOTS OVERNIGHT. AND AS WE GET INTO OUR 2026 WINDY AND COLD START, IT WILL BE FEELING LIKE THE TEENS BY THE TIME WE GET INTO THURSDAY AFTERNOON. SO FOR TODAY, MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS, NOT AS WINDY. WE’LL SEE SOME EVENING FLURRIES WILL BE DOWN TO THE 30S TONIGHT. IMPACT NIGHT FOR THOSE SNOW SHOWERS AND ISOLATED SNOW SQUALLS, BUT THE TIME FRAME FOR THIS FOLKS. IT’S NOT THE ENTIRE NIGHT. IT’S JUST FROM MIDNIGHT TO 4 A.M. SO IF YOU’RE OUT AND ABOUT FOR ANY NEW YEAR’S CELEBRATIONS, JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU THAT I’LL SHOW YOU THE TIMING HERE IN JUST A MINUTE. BUT JUST BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR ANY SNOW SQUALLS THAT MAY BE HAPPENING. WILL BE DOWN INTO THE 20S OVERNIGHT. TONIGHT. PARTLY SUNNY, WINDY AND COLD. FEELS LIKE THE TEENS FOR TOMORROW, SO TIMING THINGS OUT FOR YOU. MOSTLY CLOUDY FOR TODAY AND THERE’S THAT LITTLE SLIGHT EVENING SNOW SHOWER CHANCE TOWARDS OUR EASTERN COMMUNITIES. BUT THEN HERE’S HERE’S THE WHAT’S GOING TO BE HAPPENING. WE HAVE A WE HAVE A STRONG COLD FRONT THAT’S GOING TO COME THROUGH. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT DELINEATION THERE WITH THE BRIGHTER WHITES. AS THIS STARTS TO COME THROUGH, TIMING IT OUT FOR YOU. THIS IS WHAT WE’RE EXPECTING TO SEE SOME OF THOSE SNOW SHOWERS AND SQUALLS. SO RIGHT AROUND 1:02 A.M., THAT’S WHEN IT STARTS ENTERING IN MIFFLIN AND JUNIATA COUNTIES. BY THE TIME WE GET TO ABOUT 3 A.M. THURSDAY, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY, DRAPING OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHERN DAUPHIN AND LEBANON COUNTIES, STRETCHING ALL THE WAY DOWN TOWARDS FRANKLIN COUNTY. AND BY THE TIME WE GET TO ABOUT 4 A.M., THAT’S WHEN YOU CAN START TO EXPECT FOR, FOR EXAMPLE, LANCASTER AND YORK COUNTIES, SOME OF THOSE BRIGHTER WHITE STARTING TO MOVE THROUGH CLOSER TO 4 A.M. SO THAT’S WHY WE HAVE AN IMPACT NIGHT SET FOR TONIGHT. AND EVEN WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A COATING TO A HALF INCH OF SOME SNOW OR SOME COVERED ROADS COULD MAKE SOME SLIPPERY TRAVEL CONDITIONS FOR TONIGHT. SO EXPECT THOSE ISOLATED SNOW SQUALLS POSSIBLE FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST, BUT REALLY EXPECTING A COATING TO HALF AN INCH FOR IN TERMS OF SNOW TEMPERATURES INTO THE 20S RIGHT NOW. WINDS AT THIS TIME OUT OF THE WEST, I’D SAY BETWEEN 10 AND 15MPH BRINGS THOSE FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES DOWN INTO THE UPPER TEENS, ALSO INTO THE LOWER 20S. SO STILL WATCHING STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK ACROSS THE AREA. YOU CAN STILL SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A DISTURBANCE THAT’S GOING TO MOVE THROUGH. BUT ONCE WE GET INTO OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND BEYOND GETTING INTO OUR THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, WE’RE LOOKING AT SOME PARTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS WITH FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES INTO THE TEENS FOR YOUR THURSDAY. STILL BREEZY AND COLD FOR YOUR FRIDAY. CALMER THOUGH ONCE WE GET INTO SATURDAY AND SUNDAY YOU CAN SEE INTO THE LOWER TO MID 30S. THEN NEXT WEEK THIS IS WHAT WE’RE TRACKING. LOOKING AT A LITTLE BIT O
