Schuylkill County Weather Forecast


By:  Monsoon Mike

As our snowstorm departs, we will be left in the wrath of some of the coldest temperatures Skook has seen in several years. Arctic air will completely plunge into Pennsylvania as our storm exits, making high temperatures on Friday about 10 or 15 at best. Yes, TEN or FIFTEEN. Think that's cold? Try Friday Night, About -5. Yes, that's a five with a minus in front of it. Brrrr! 

Things slowly moderate this weekend and we may even see 20 again before it's over! As crazy as this sounds, our next storm later in the weekend or early next week may even feature more liquid rather than frozen variety as temperatures take a nice visit back to the 30s. But it won't be for long. Another arctic plunge happens early next week perhaps featuring temperatures a few ticks LOWER than THIS arctic plunge. 

Guess those woolly caterpillars were onto something when people spotted them having crazy thick coats this past autumn while we were being deceived with 80 degrees on October 5th(remember them days?)
