For the past couple days we have experienced the coldest weather of the season across the region. This frigid weather will continue through tonight when temperatures will approach zero degrees. Tomorrow afternoon light snow will break out across the region and continue through the evening. Accumulation will be light, on the order of 1 to 3 inches. Heading into next week temperatures will begin to rise with the approach of a new weather system. Expect temperatures to be in the mid 40's with a chance of rain by Tuesday and and Wednesday.
Short-Term:
Models are trending towards a less-significant snow event across the commonwealth with the approach of Friday's system. Expect 3-4" in areas to the south, 2-3" in central PA, and around 1" across the northern tier, with the exception of locations to the NW, where lake-effect snow showers will bring an additional inch or two to the area.
Long-Term:
After the storm, a general warming process builds in with temps rising to the upper 30's by Monday. These temps will be warm enough to bring the chance of mixed precipitation as our next system rumbles through on Monday with its associated warm front swinging through our region. Conditions brought about by this mixed precipitation (rain, snow, freezing rain, and ice) can be more dangerous than either rain or snow showers. This system is definitely one to keep watch on.
