Schuylkill County Weather Forecast


By:  Monsoon Mike

Our busy busy weather pattern continues on Sunday afternoon into Monday morning.  During our most recent storm Friday into Friday night, northern Skook got a bit of snow and ice. Southern Skook hardly saw anything but some sleet mixing in at the tail end. But, if you like wintry weather, and you're in that southern portion and feel ripped off after the the last storm, I think EVERYONE gets in on some moderate action Sunday p.m. into Monday a.m. 

I expect snow to move in mid Sunday afternoon and accumulate an inch or maybe two before a switch over to sleet, freezing rain, and then eventually probably plain rain Monday morning. But here's the thing. I think cold air gets trapped at the surface Sunday night and early Monday and that switch to plain rain is in no major hurry. The result? A nice glaze of dangerous ice overnight Sunday into early Monday. Expect moderate to major travel headaches at those times. Make sure you follow my "Monsoon Mike's Weather Headquarters" Facebook page for on-the-run updates as this long update here only usually comes once a day, usually in the evening.

Then, another round of mainly light snow could hit is on the backside of everything on Tuesday afternoon after breaking Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning .

THEN, things get brutally cold for the rest of the coming new week. Got all that? Good. :-) Be careful out there folks and again, "like" my page for on-the-fly updates.
