<\/p>\nLive Map: Track power outages across Pennsylvania as massive storm to dump snow on state<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNOW, THE ALERT DAY FORECAST FROM THE WGAL NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. WE\u2019VE BEEN WATCHING THE SNOW AS IT\u2019S BEEN COMING DOWN THIS MORNING. IT\u2019S BEEN SNOWING FOR A GOOD FOUR HOURS IN MANY SPOTS. AND WE HAVE SOME SNOW TOTALS FOR YOU IN ABBOTTSTOWN. 3.5IN OF SNOW ALREADY. MECHANICSBURG IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY, OVER THREE INCHES THERE AS WELL. AND HIGHSPIRE REPORTING 1.3. IN LANCASTER CITY WE HAVE A REPORT OF TWO INCHES OF SNOW ALREADY, SO IT\u2019S PILING UP QUICKLY. IT\u2019S REAL FINE, CRYSTAL LIKE SNOW, AND IT\u2019S COMING DOWN. IT\u2019S GOING TO START TO PICK UP IN INTENSITY AS WE GO THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. RIGHT NOW IT\u2019S LIGHT TO POCKETS OF MODERATE SNOW, BUT JUST TO OUR SOUTH IT DOES PICK UP IN INTENSITY. AND WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE SEEING 1 TO 2 INCH SNOWFALL RATES PER HOUR. AND YOU SEE THE BRIGHTER WHITE BANDS TO OUR SOUTH. THAT\u2019S WHERE WE\u2019RE SEEING THAT SNOW INTENSITY INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA. HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT THE POTENTIAL ROAD CONDITIONS. OBVIOUSLY ROADS ARE COVERED THIS MORNING. WITH THE SNOW. IT BECOMES MORE HAZARDOUS. TRAVELING IS JUST GOING TO BE MORE DIFFICULT WITH VISIBILITY. WE\u2019LL ALSO HAVE SOME SLEET MIXING IN THIS AFTERNOON. AND THEN BY TOMORROW MORNING WE\u2019RE LOOKING AT SNOWY AND ICY CONDITIONS. WITH THE WINDS PICKING UP. TOMORROW WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT BLOWING AND DRIFTING CONDITIONS. THAT JUST ADDS TO A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL OF ISSUES WITH DRIVING. EXPECTED SNOW TOTALS, TOTALS. WE\u2019VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR SEVERAL DAYS NOW, 12 TO 18IN FOR THE AREAS. SEEING THAT PURPLE DRAPED ACROSS THE AREA THAT\u2019S MAINLY NORTH AND NORTHWEST OF I-81 AND TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST, YOU\u2019RE STILL GOING TO GET A PRETTY DECENT AMOUNT OF SNOW, 8 TO 12IN. BUT WE\u2019VE GOT LOWER TOTALS HERE BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE WE COULD SEE THE SLEET MIXING IN. AND DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH SLEET AND HOW FAR NORTH, THAT WILL DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF TOTALS WE END UP WITH. BY THE TIME ALL IS SAID AND DONE. AND FOR AND WE CONTINUE WITH THE WINTER STORM WARNING FOR TODAY AND EVEN INTO TOMORROW, I THINK BECAUSE OF THE WINDS CAUSING SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF THE SNOW. AND FOR MORE ON THE FORECAST AND THE COLD AIR, THE FRIGID AIR THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE STICKING AROUND, WE GO TO CHRISTINE FOR THE LATEST. ALL RIGHT. SO HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT OUR NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST TODAY. WE HAVE THAT WIDESPREAD SNOW THIS MORNING. LIKE MARY ELLEN MENTIONED IT COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES ESPECIALLY LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. NOW IN THE AFTERNOON THAT\u2019S WHEN WE\u2019RE GOING TO SEE THE SLEET MIXING IN FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. AND EVENTUALLY I THINK IT WILL REACH UP TO I-81. BUT THE FARTHER SOUTH YOU ARE, THAT\u2019S WHY WE HAVE YOU IN THE 8 TO 12 INCH SNOWFALL TOTALS, BECAUSE YOU COULD GET A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF SLEET ON TOP OF THAT SNOW. YOU COULD GET 1 TO 2IN OF SLEET. SO THIS EVENING THE SNOW AND SLEET WILL BEGIN TO TAPER. I THINK BY 8:00 WE\u2019LL START TO SEE SOME BREAKS. THE WHOLE STORM STARTS TO WIND DOWN BY MIDNIGHT. IT\u2019S OUT OF HERE AND OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO HOLD STEADY IN THE TEENS. NOW. LUCKILY TONIGHT WINDS WILL BE LIGHT, BUT TOMORROW THOSE WINDS START TO PICK UP AND COULD GUST TO 40MPH OUT OF THE NORTHWEST, WE\u2019LL SEE CLOUDS WITH SOME BREAKS OF SUN AND BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW BEING OUR PRIMARY CONCERN. THAT\u2019S WHY WE HAVE AN ALERT DAY TOMORROW. IN ADDITION, IT\u2019S GOING TO FEEL LIKE THE SINGLE DIGITS AND LOWER SINGLE DIGITS TOMORROW. POSSIBLY. HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT OUR TEMPERATURES UNIFORM THIS MORNING WITH THAT LIGHT SNOW COMING DOWN AROUND TEN DEGREES IN MOST SPOTS. ADD JUST A 5 TO 10 MILE PER HOUR BREEZE AND IT FEELS LIKE IT\u2019S SUBZERO. FEELS LIKE ONE BELOW IN HARRISBURG AS MUCH AS THREE BELOW. IN LANCASTER. WE HAVE THE GOOSE EGG THERE IN YORK. FEELS LIKE ZERO RIGHT NOW, SO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS YOU\u2019RE HEADED OUT TO SHOVEL. MAKE SURE YOU\u2019RE LAYERED UP IN ALL EXPOSED SKIN IS COVERED. HERE\u2019S THE STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK. WE\u2019VE BEEN SEEING SOME BANDS OF MODERATE SNOW MOVING IN, BUT WE WILL GET THOSE HEAVIER BANDS SHORTLY. LOOK AT THE ENTIRE NATION HERE. COVERED BY THE STORM. THE WHOLE EASTERN HALF. THIS IS A LARGE AND IMPACTFUL SNOWSTORM FOR MUCH OF THE COUNTRY. SO FOR US, HERE\u2019S THE HOUR BY HOUR TIMING. WE\u2019RE LOOKING AT THAT STEADY SNOW THIS MORNING, BECOMING HEAVIER INTO THE AFTERNOON. AND HERE COMES THAT LINE OF SLEET. NOW, A LOT OF YOU ARE SAYING, HOW IN THE WORLD CAN IT SLEET WHEN IT\u2019S 18 DEGREES OUTSIDE FOR A HIGH LATER TODAY? WE HAVE LOW PRESSURE, WHICH IS GOING TO BE HUGGING THE COAST AND SITTING OFF THE COAST OF DELMARVA LATER. AND THAT FUNNELS IN WARMER OCEAN AIR JUST ABOVE OUR HEADS. SO THE SNOWFLAKE WILL MELT AND THEN REFREEZE BEFORE HITTING THE GROUND. THAT\u2019S HOW WE GET SLEET. AND I DO THINK THAT SLEET LINE LOOK AT THIS COMES ALL THE WAY UP TO I-81 AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SO THAT\u2019S WHY WE HAVE SLIGHTLY LOWER TOTAL SOUTHEAST. BUT THIS IS STILL A MAJOR IMPACTFUL STORM. EVEN IF YOU DO GET THE SLEET. HERE WE ARE AT 8 P.M. IT TAPERS BY MIDNIGHT. I THINK IT\u2019S OUT OF HERE. AND THEN WE WILL JUST BE DEALING WITH THE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW. SO IMPACTS AFTER THE STORM. WE COULD HAVE SOME GUSTS OF 40MPH TOMORROW, BUT BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW, ESPECIALLY IMPACTING RURAL ROADS. AND IN A FRIGID WEEK AHEAD, WE\u2019RE TALKING ABOUT SUBZERO WIND CHILLS EVERY DAY IN THE MORNING ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE WEEK. LOOK AT THESE OVERNIGHT LOWS. JUST A FIVE MILE PER HOUR BREEZE WILL DRIVE YOUR WIND CHILL WELL BELOW ZERO. LUCKILY. ALSO, WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT QUIET WEATHER THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK AND FOR THE LAST DAY OF JANUARY. ON SATURDAY IT\u2019S QUIET. SUNDAY IS ALSO QUIET B\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
