Winter is back!

 



    


The cold front that came through is now sitting off the coast. Yesterday's and last night's rain Has changed over to snow As much colder temperatures move to the region. Winds are still very gusty, add in these cold temperatures coming in behind the front, And the winds are making it feel even colder. Here's a look At the 24 hour temperature change From Penn state's E. wall. On it we can see temperatures are 20-40 °F From what they wore at this time yesterday.


Behind this departing system It's going to be a very chilly night And We will see Mainly dry conditions with some sun tomorrow morning. But we are going to have a clipper roll through tomorrow. 

As this moves through, Northern Pennsylvania, New York State into northern and central New England Likely will see widespread snow. General accumulation will be a dusting to 2inches. Then there will be a slight warm up during the afternoon that will change the snow over to a rain/mix.  Then as temperatures cool back down heading towards the evening; there will likely be a change back to snow with additional accumulations likely. Friday night into Saturday the higher elevations will likely pick up  4-10 + inches of that additional snow. Across the rest of Pennsylvania into the northern Middle Atlantic There will be some scattered rain showers that could mix in with a little bit of wet snow flakes At times. This system will be pulling away on Saturday.

Sunday a system up over the Great Lakes Is going to allow the first of two warm fronts to lift through our region. With the warm front we will see rain showers and snow showers on the leading edge. The snow will likely change to rain south to north during the day. It's on clear exactly how far north this first front will get. The stronger cold front warm front comes through Sunday night into Monday. Temperatures will be turning milder, allowing most of this to be rain showers. But some northern high elevation snow showers will also be possible. Winds are going to be very gusty 20-30 miles an hour with higher gust very possible. A few embedded thunderstorms will be possible. Then Monday night Into Tuesday A cold front is gonna swing in through the region allowing temperatures to free fall. We will likely see some thunderstorms with  rain showers changeover to some snow showers. With some accumulations possible across northern Pennsylvania, New York State and northern and central New England. This will be especially true in those northern higher elevation areas Where additional accumulation is possible. We will likely also see lake effect snow start up off of lake Erie and lake Ontario. Wednesday high pressure is gonna be building in behind the system with some lake snows continuing. Thursday we are going to see high pressure setting up overhead Of a southern flow which should start Warm us back up to seasonal levels.
