\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYESTERDAY. IT WAS NOT BAD. YOU KNOW, FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WASN\u2019T BAD. COLDS COMING, COLDS COMING AND I CAN SEE IT ON THE HORIZON. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS ARCTIC FRONT THAT\u2019S UP TO OUR NORTH. THAT IS GOING TO SET THE STAGE FOR OUR WINTER STORM. NOW THIS FRONT COMES THROUGH DRY THIS AFTERNOON, BUT IT WILL ROUGH UP THE WIND A LITTLE BIT. YOU CAN SEE OUR WIND SPEEDS INCREASING AS WE HEAD TOWARD EVENING. WE\u2019RE GOING TO SEE WIND SPEEDS ABOUT 10 TO 20MPH OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. AND THAT IS REALLY GOING TO GIVE US SOME COLD WIND CHILLS AS TEMPERATURES PLUMMET RIGHT NOW. 27 IN LEWISTOWN, 25 IN HARRISBURG. THESE ARE TYPICAL TEMPERATURES FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. IT\u2019S 23 DEGREES IN LANCASTER TODAY. WE DO GET UP INTO THE 30S, BUT IT WILL FEEL LIKE THE 20S WITH THAT PESKY BREEZE THAT WE\u2019VE HAD FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. NOW, LET ME SHOW YOU HOW COLD IT WILL FEEL TOMORROW. WE START OUT WITH WIND CHILLS BELOW ZERO IN THE MORNING, AND ONLY GET TO THOSE SINGLE DIGIT CHILLS IN THE AFTERNOON. OUR HIGH TOMORROW IS JUST A MEASLY 18 DEGREES. SO HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT OUR WEATHER PLANNER FOR TODAY. WE SEE INCREASING CLOUDS THIS MORNING, A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE INTO THE AFTERNOON, AND THEN PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH SUBZERO WIND CHILLS AS WE HEAD TOWARD EVENING. ALL RIGHT, SO THE WINTER STORM ON SUNDAY. I THINK IT\u2019S A FAIRLY UNIFORM AREA OF 12 TO 18IN ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. I AM WATCHING THE SLEET LINE, THOUGH. I THINK SOUTHERN COUNTIES COULD MIX WITH SLEET AND THAT MIGHT CUT DOWN TOTALS. SO I\u2019M GETTING SOME MORE INFORMATION HOUR BY HOUR ON THAT, WHERE EXACTLY THAT LINE SETS UP AND HOW IT IMPACTS OUR TOTALS. SO WE\u2019LL KEEP YOU UPDATED BECAUSE THAT\u2019S THE HIGHEST AREA OF UNCERTAINTY ON OUR MAP HERE. BUT IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A FOOT OF SNOW FOR MUCH\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
