Temperatures dropped quickly into the 20s overnight before the clouds rolled back in ahead of the next winter storm that will affect Central PA today and tonight. As warmer air started to move north, temperatures actually have climbed early this morning to above freezing in most locations. While this next storm will bring mostly rain, it could start as snow in the mountains north and west of Harrisburg for an hour or two at the onset (between 5am-8am). With temperatures above freezing and a quic
Snow melt will continue today with a pleasant Monday on tap for Central PA. While it will start rather cloudy, the sun will make its usual afternoon appearance and turn today into a pleasant one with highs in the lower 40s. Today will be the calm before yet another storm system takes dead aim at our region for tomorrow. Before it arrives, clouds increase tonight as temperatures dip into the upper 20s for lows.

There is going to be a thin but intense band of snow setting up somewhere across the region where snowfall rates could be 1-2" per hour at the height of this storm. This band could set up anywhere from Harrisburg to just north and west of the city. Wherever this band occurs will likely see
Snow will develop after 10am Saturday from the southwest to the northeast. By lunchtime, it will be snowing steadily for much of the region. However, sleet will likely already be mixing in for southern York & Lancaster Counties. The bulk of the storm will occur from Noon-6pm tomorrow with a steady snow for most areas, while southeastern areas will see sleet and even rain take over during this time. Very little snow accumulation is expected for areas across our extreme southeast counties. For mos
Clouds will be around again to start the day with a stray snow shower possible as a cold front rushes in from the northwest. By this afternoon, a gusty northerly wind will bring clearing skies and push the front out. Expect sunshine by mid-afternoon with highs around 40°. It will feel quite chilly though with winds near 20 mph at times. Tonight will bring clear skies and much colder weather with lows dropping into the lower to mid 20s. High pressure is on tap for Friday with lots of sunshine and
