AND THEN THEY\u2019RE OUT OF HERE BY EVENING. THAT SYSTEM PASSES OVERNIGHT. THE SKY CLEARS AND SETS US UP ONCE AGAIN FOR VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND SUBZERO WIND CHILLS. TOMORROW MORNING WE SEE A FEW CLOUDS PASSING BY. TOMORROW AFTERNOON GET THE SAME FORECAST ON THURSDAY WITH MORNING SUN, AFTERNOON CLOUDS, TEMPERATURES NEAR 20 AND SUBZERO WIND CHILLS AT NIGHT. SO KIND OF A RINSE AND REPEAT. AS WE\u2019VE BEEN SAYING. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS THING. THIS IS A MONSTER STORM, BUT IT IS OFF SHORE. SO IT MOVES OUT TO SEA AND DOESN\u2019T REALLY BOTHER US AS WE HEAD INTO SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THAT\u2019S THE LATEST THINKING ON THE GUIDANCE. BUT LOOK, IT\u2019S A CLOSE SHAVE, SO IT\u2019S SOMETHING THAT WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE WATCHING VERY CLOSELY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY FROM THIS STORM. THERE IS A HIGH LIKELIHOOD THAT THERE WILL BE A NOR\u2019EASTER OUT TO SEA, BUT I DON\u2019T THINK IT\u2019S GOING TO IMPACT US. IT\u2019S VERY LOW CHANCE RIGHT NOW THE WAY THINGS ARE LOOKING. SO WE\u2019LL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THAT. BUT NOTICE AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, TEMPERATURES MODERATE A LITTLE BIT.
