Weather Summary

High pressure is in control today and tomorrow. That high pressure breaks down by Saturday night, as our next storm system blows in. That system will make for a wet and windy Sunday. That system moves out and leaves us with cloudy skies for Monday. Then, our next storm system arrives Monday night and Tuesday with more rain.

Next week’s forecast is a bit of a headache beyond Tuesday. An arctic front will begin moving slowly in from the north, as disturbances continue to affect our area. The coldest of this air will stay to our north, but enough cold air may move in to create a wintry mix Wednesday morning. I’ll keep you posted!

Weather Summary

Scattered snow showers will be with us through the morning hours and could even linger into the afternoon hours. Accumulation looks light and mainly on grassy areas, owing mostly to our marginal temps for snow. For the sake of roads, we can be thankful that we were mild yesterday and that temps are hovering in the lower 30s. Just a couple degrees colder or so and we’d be looking at very slick roads today. Still, there are slick spots out there and I do advise everyone be cautious, especially if you’re driving when one of these snow showers is moving through.

Moving on…

Our next storm system arrives late Saturday night. This system looks liquid and will bring a windy and rainy day to the area on Sunday. That system moves out on Sunday night and leaves us with clouds and mild temps for Monday.

The forecast beyond Monday is, admittedly, quite challenging and could bring a variety of temps and precip types to the region next week. Stay tuned.

Weather Aware Times

Tonight & Thursday

Scattered rain-mixed-with-snow showers this evening will turn to periods of light snow by midnight. Light accumulation looks likely, especially on the western edges of the plateau (like with our past few snow events). There is a chance for scattered snow showers through the day Thursday.

Hourly Temp & Precip Forecast

This begins at 8:00 pm and ends at noon Thursday.

Model Data

This snowfall accumulation model runs from 8:00 pm tonight to 8:00 pm Thursday night. Notice the favored western edges of the plateau with the northwest flow component of the snowfall.

Chance for a Snow Day

While school in Cumberland County is delayed 2 hours, there is still a decent chance for a full cancellation. My confidence in that remains at 60%. Do your homework, kids, just in case! 🙂

Weather Summary

Strong winds will persist for much of today. Those winds will usher in cooler temps that will be gradually tumbling by lunchtime.

As we get into this evening, more moisture is expected to return. With colder temps, that moisture will be in the form of light snow showers scattered about the plateau. That activity is expected to continue into Thursday. Light accumulation is certainly possible, and caution is advised on roadways tonight and Thursday morning.

Our next storm system arrives late Saturday night with more rain and wind. The unsettled weather continues into next week. Stay tuned!

Hourly Temp & Precip Forecast

9:00 a.m. today to 6:00 p.m. Thursday.

Model Data

This model run of snowfall accumulation runs from 6:00 pm tonight to 6:00 pm Thursday. As you can see, the western edges of the plateau are favored for the best chance for accumulation.

Chance for a Snow Day

The chance for a snow day remains at 60%. If trends today continue to show a bit more snow potential for tonight, my confidence will increase for a snow day. Stay tuned!

Weather Statistics
