Schuylkill County Weather Forecast


By:  Monsoon Mike

Good evening! Martin Luther King Jr. Day will actually be the warmest of the week as temperatures sneak into the 30s in some areas ahead of our next strong frontal boundary which will send temperatures plummeting for the rest of the week. No major storms to go along with the cold but several "minor" storms. As I said this morning on my Facebook fan page, one of those "mini" storms could surprise us with a little more juice (much like the one this past Friday/Saturday in northern areas) and late model runs confirm TUESDAY may be just that sort of situation. Models have shifted a bit further northwest with Tuesday's clipper. By no means does this mean a major snowstorm. But from Philadelphia on south into south Jersey, those guys could actually be in the sweet spot for several inches of snow if everything worked out right. Still thinking a coating to an inch or two at best in the Skook but that being said, this northward "trend" needs to be watched in case it continues, whereupon I would "up" my prognostication. Hope everyone had a great weekend and hope you are one of the folks who has a three day weekend continuing tomorrow!
