After record breaking warmth, thunderstorms, and heavy rain yesterday, we have turned back into a much more wintry pattern. Temperatures are currently down into the low 30s across the commonwealth with numerous snow squalls. We can expect these much colder, wintry conditions to persist for the foreseeable future. Although there are no major storms in sight, we may experience a couple small clipper systems that could drop a small accumulation.
Short Term:
Presently, there are numerous snow squalls across the region. Expect these snow squalls to persist for the majority of the day across the eastern half of the region. Temperatures will remain steady or possibly fall a bit throughout the day as cold, dry air rushes in. Areas in lake-effect snow belts such as Erie, PA should expect bouts of very heavy snowfall resulting in significant accumulations. Winds will also be very strong across the region with gusts up to 50 mph.
Long Term:
The long term forecast looks seasonably cold with chances for light snow or snow showers almost every couple days. There are no real threats for any large weather systems to affect the region over at least the next week. The latest runs of both the GFS and the ECMWF both show a couple clippers coming over the region with some light snow and possible a light accumulation. The first one of these clippers is expected to cross the region sometime around Saturday night.
