Cold & Frosty Tuesday Night; Late Week Rain Chances (2025)

AND ARKANSAS. CALENDAR SAYS EARLY APRIL, BUT IT’S GOING TO FEEL MORE LIKE MID-FEBRUARY OUT THERE ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. WE GOT A FREEZE WARNING IN EFFECT THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT, SO THAT’S WHY IT’S AN IMPACT NIGHT. NOW, TOMORROW WILL BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN TODAY. WE’LL HAVE LOTS OF SUNSHINE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN TODAY, AND THE WINDS WILL NOT BE AS INTENSE. BUT WE’LL KEEP THIS UNSEASONABLE CHILL AROUND AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE WEEKEND. WITH THE RAIN CHANCES STARTING TO CREEP BACK UP IN THE FORECAST ON THURSDAY, MOST LIKELY THE RAIN WILL BE AROUND ACROSS MUCH OF THE VALLEY FOR YOUR FRIDAY, SO WE’VE GOT THAT FREEZE WARNING IN EFFECT FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE COUNTIES BETWEEN 2:00 AND 9 A.M., MIFFLIN, JUNIATA AND PERRY COUNTY. YOU’RE NOT PART OF THIS WATCH. EXCUSE ME THIS MORNING, BUT YOU’RE STILL GOING TO SEE TEMPERATURES DIPPING DOWN BELOW THE FREEZING MARK OUT THERE. IT’S JUST YOUR GROWING SEASON HASN’T STARTED YET. RIGHT NOW, 36 DEGREES IN THE CAPITAL CITY, BUT IT FEELS LIKE IT’S JUST 24 WINDS AT THE AIRPORT, STILL GUSTING TO NEAR 30MPH, BUT THEY ARE DROPPING ACROSS. THE REST OF THE REGION. FEELS LIKE IT’S JUST 25 RIGHT NOW IN LANCASTER, AND FEELS LIKE IT’S 28 CURRENTLY IN CARLISLE. WIND GUSTS RIGHT NOW ANYWHERE FROM TEN TO NEAR 25MPH, BUT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DROP AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT. AND SINCE SKIES ARE CLEAR, ALL IS CLEAR ON LIVE LOCALLY RADAR, SO EXPECT A CLEAR, COLD NIGHT OUT THERE. LOOK AT THOSE TEMPERATURES DIPPING DOWN ALL THE WAY TO THE MID 20S IN SOME SPOTS ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY WILL LIKELY BE BELOW FREEZING DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE, AND THEN TEMPERATURES WILL FINALLY START TO RISE. BY THE TIME WE GET CLOSER TO MID MORNING ABOVE FREEZING, AND WE’LL TOP OFF IN THE LOW TO MID 50S. THAT’S WARMER THAN TODAY, BUT STILL ABOUT 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGE AND WILL BE PRETTY CLOSE TO THE RECORD LOW EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. I’M FORECASTING LOW OF 28. THE RECORD LOW IS 25 DEGREES. MADE IT ONLY TO 45 FOR OUR HIGH TODAY. THE AVERAGE HIGH NOW IS UP TO 61. STARTED THE DAY OFF AT 32. WE’RE CLOSE TO THAT RIGHT NOW AT THE AIRPORT AT 36. THE SAME IN LEBANON. ALSO IN CARLISLE. YOU CAN SEE THIS INTENSE CHILL IS OFF TO OUR WEST AND ALONG THE GREAT LAKES, BUT MILDER WEATHER IS BUILDING ACROSS THE GREAT PLAINS, AND THAT’S WHERE WE FIND OUR NEXT STORM SYSTEM. IT’S A CLIPPER SYSTEM THAT’S COMING DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST, BUT IT WILL TAKE ITS TIME GETTING HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE THAT’S BUILDING IN OVER THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY, AND THE TWO STORMS THAT HELP BRING THE SHOWERS THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO YESTERDAY’S FINALLY START TO PULL AWAY. AND IT’S THE PRESSURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO THAT MADE SUCH A BLUSTERY, COLD DAY OUT THERE. BUT AS THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE GETS CLOSER TO US AND MOVES OVERHEAD, THAT WILL ALLOW THE WINDS TO RELAX. AND THAT’S WHY IT’S GOING TO BE SUCH A FRIGID NIGHT TONIGHT. THEN CLOUDS START MOVING IN TOMORROW AFTERNOON, BUT WE’RE STAYING DRY THROUGHOUT OUR WEDNESDAY. BE PREPARED ON THURSDAY TO SEE SOME PASSING SHOWERS ARRIVING MID-MORNING AND THEN ON AND OFF. SHOWERS ARE LIKELY THROUGHOUT THURSDAY. COULD SEE SOME SNOW MIXING WITH THE RAIN UP TOWARDS WILLIAMSPORT, AND THIS AREA OF LOW PRESSURE JUST HANGS OUT IN THE REGION. NOTICE ON FRIDAY WE’RE TALKING WIDESPREAD RAIN OUT THERE WITH THAT CHILLY BREEZE COMING IN FROM THE OCEAN THAT WILL CONTINUE ON INTO SATURDAY. AND FINALLY, THE SYSTEM PULLS AWAY AND MOVES OUT TO SEA. BY THE TIME WE MAKE IT ON INTO SUNDAY. SO ON AND OFF. RAIN FOR YOUR THURSDAY. WIDESPREAD RAIN LIKELY ON FRIDAY. BACK TO ON AND OFF RAIN AGAIN ON SATURDAY AND THEN TEMPERATURES FINALLY START TO CLIMB AS WE DRY BACK OUT INTO THE BACK HALF OF THE WEEKEND AND EARLY PARTS OF NEXT WEEK. JUST BE PREPARED FOR A CHILLY, RAW STRETCH OF WEATHER AND THEN FINALLY, MORE SEASONABLE
