Synopsis:
A disturbance will move through starting tomorrow and will bring a wintry mix across much of the state. Freezing rain, sleet, and a rain/snow mix is likely through Saturday afternoon before changing to all rain and departing in the evening. A brief lull in the action will occur Sunday and into Monday before another disturbance moves through Tuesday with more wintry mix conditions.
Short Term:
A ridge of high pressure is beginning to move into the region. Much of the state has cleared out with only a few lake enhanced clouds in the northwestern portion of the commonwealth. Those will dissipate as the evening progresses. Clouds will increase overnight out ahead of our next disturbance. Precipitation is expected to move into the western portion of the state late morning tomorrow and early afternoon elsewhere. Snow will likely fall first before a transition to sleet and freezing rain occurs. Many surfaces will likely stay below freezing for much of the morning and afternoon. A warm layer above 850mb seems likely for much of the western and central states which will allow for precipitation to melt and force freezing rain to occur. This icy mixed precipitation will likely last through Saturday morning before the system departs.
Long Term:
A few flurries are expected for Sunday in the NW PA, but the rest of the state should remain dry. Some sun is likely as well and it should be a decent day. Monday is also looking nice with plenty of sun across the commonwealth and WAA out ahead of our next system will allow temperatures to hit the 40s. That system moves in Tuesday, although the Euro and GFS are in disagreement with timing. The GFS is much faster and has it moving in overnight Monday while the Euro has it Tuesday night. Leaning towards the Euro solution at this time but we'll see. Either way, more wintry mix is likely at some point in the middle of the week. Temperatures remain consistent through the week with no large cold spells in view.
