Winter weather advisory issued for all of south-central Pennsylvania ahead of Tuesday’s wintry mix<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNOW, THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST CHRISTINE FERREIRA. GOOD MORNING. 647 A HIGH OF 62. A NICE ON SATURDAY, WASN\u2019T IT? NOW WE HAVE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY THAT GOES INTO EFFECT TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING. SO WE ARE STILL VERY MUCH IN WINTER. BUT THIS IS THE ONLY CHANCE OF WINTER WEATHER THAT WE\u2019RE GOING TO SEE IN THE TEN DAY FORECAST. SO LET ME START YOU OUT WITH TODAY. WE START OUT WITH INCREASING CLOUDS. THERE WILL BE A LITTLE LIGHT SNOW THAT TRIES TO SQUEEZE IN ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE PA TURNPIKE TODAY. THAT COULD PUT A COATING ON THE GRASS, BUT THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE FROM ABOUT LUNCHTIME UNTIL DINNER TIME, WHERE YOU COULD SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW OR SNOW SHOWERS SOUTH. NOW, TONIGHT, THAT\u2019S WHEN THAT WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY KICKS INTO GEAR. AND IT\u2019S FOR ALL TYPES OF PRECIPITATION. WE COULD SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN OVERSPREADING THE AREA OVERNIGHT UNTIL ABOUT THIS TIME TOMORROW MORNING, AND THEN ANYTHING WILL CHANGE OVER TO JUST PLAIN OLD FREEZING RAIN DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE TOMORROW SO WE COULD SEE A GLAZE OF ICE. THE ROADS COULD BE SLICK, ESPECIALLY IF UNTREATED. I WANT YOU TO USE CAUTION TOMORROW MORNING IF YOU SEE RAIN, KNOW THAT SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE BELOW FREEZING AND THE ROADS COULD BE SLICK OR ICY AS WE HEAD INTO LATE MORNING EARLY AFTERNOON NOTICE, WE START TO SEE MORE RAIN COMING IN AS TEMPERATURES AT THE SURFACE WARM, SO WE WILL BE DEALING WITH JUST PLAIN RAIN FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY, INCLUDING THE EVENING COMMUTE ON TUESDAY. SO THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY FREEZING RAIN, SLICK ROADS, SECOND HALF, WARMER TEMPERATURES AND JUST PLAIN OLD RAIN. HOW MUCH SNOW CAN YOU EXPECT? MAYBE A COATING OUT OF THIS WINTRY MIX AND HOW MUCH ICE? A GLAZE OF ICE TO LESS THAN A 10TH OF AN INCH OF ICE. SO ENOUGH TO CAUSE PROBLEMS AND SLOW THINGS DOWN A BIT. TOMORROW MORNING. AT THIS TIME TODAY, THOUGH, OUR NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST STARTS OUT WITH INCREASING CLOUDS. IT WILL BE BRISK AND CHILLY OUT THERE. TEMPERATURES IN THE 20S FOR THE AFTERNOON. WE ONLY GET TO 36 WITH CLOUDY SKIES AND THOSE SNOW SHOWERS OR AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW SOUTH FOR THE EVENING. THERE COULD BE SOME CLEARING NORTH OF THE PA TURNPIKE. I THINK CLOUDS HANG TOUGH SOUTH AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE AROUND 30. OVERNIGHT. LIGHT SNOW COMES IN ALONG WITH FREEZING RAIN. WE COULD GET A COATING OF SNOW, A GLAZE OF ICE, MAKING IT AN IMPACT NIGHT. TOMORROW MORNING WE WILL STILL BE DEALING WITH AREAS OF FREEZING RAIN. IT WILL DAMP, IT WILL BE CHILLY, BUT I DO EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO COME UP ABOVE 32 BY LATE MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. SO LATER IN THE DAY RAIN WILL BE FALLING, BUT TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE FREEZING. THAT\u2019S THE GOOD NEWS. RIGHT NOW IT\u2019S A COLD START. WE HAVE PLENTY OF 20S OUT THERE. CHECK OUT HARRISBURG AT 24. GOOD MORNING LANCASTER, YOU\u2019RE AT 22. BUT WHEN YOU FACTOR IN AN EIGHT MILE PER HOUR BREEZE IN LANCASTER, IT FEELS LIKE 13 DEGREES. FEELS LIKE 16 IN YORK, FEELS LIKE 15 RIGHT NOW IN LEBANON AND LEWISTOWN. SO BE PREPARED FOR THAT CHANGE THIS MORNING. HERE\u2019S OUR STORM TEAM, LIVE RADAR NETWORK, HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHEAST. GAVE US A BEAUTIFUL DAY YESTERDAY THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE HITTING THE ROAD. THIS DISTURBANCE WILL SLIDE BY TO OUR SOUTH TODAY. JUST THROWING SOME LIGHT SNOW OR SNOW SHOWERS OUR WAY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE PA TURNPIKE IN THE AFTERNOON. AS WE HEAD INTO TONIGHT, THAT\u2019S WHEN THE WINTRY MIX DEVELOPS. YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT HERE ON TOP OF US TOMORROW MORNING. THAT WINTRY MIX WILL CHANGE OVER TO RAIN AS TEMPERATURES GRADUALLY WARM. SO BY TOMORROW EVENING ALL RAIN FOR THE COMMUTE. WATCH THIS WARM FRONT SLOWLY STARTS TO LIFT NORTH ON WEDNESDAY. I THINK ANY SHOWERS END IN THE MORNING. WEDNESDAY LOOKS MAINLY DRY NOW AND THIS FRONT COULD BRING TEMPERATURES UP INTO THE 50S PROVIDED IT GETS FAR ENOUGH NORTH. SO WE\u2019LL BE WATCHING THOSE TEMPERATURES FOR YOU ON WEDNESDAY. THURSDAY A CHANCE OF SHOWERS IS AROUND 5256. CLIMBING ON FRIDAY. WE THEN HIT THE 60S AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND AND BEYOND. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE A PROLONGED SPRING PREVIEW FOR US. CHANCES FOR SHOWERS ARE IN THERE NEARLY EVERY DAY, BUT I DON\u2019T\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
