Schuylkill County Weather Update

Morning Update:

Good Morning & Happy New Year Everyone! Already folks asking me if the snow tomorrow will give them and their kids a bonus day off from school/work. Unfortunately, I don't think so for most of us. That's not to say Skook won't see snow, but this is a very tricky storm where those areas and areas north of I-80 will have a light snow going most of tomorrow from some atmospheric advection, but areas south of there (Pottsville/Reading/Lehigh Valley/etc.) may not have any decent snow beginning until much later in the afternoon tomorrow. I think a general 1 to 4 inches on a line from Harrisburg to Pottsville will be the final snowfall accumulation when this wraps up Friday morning. Then farther east into the Lehigh Valley and north into northern Jersey, perhaps 3 to 5 or 4 to 6 inches as they'll be more energy there as the storm wraps up along the coast. See my map for what I expect across Skook. Not a crippling storm by any means, but as we know, us eastern Pennsylvanians can't drive in sunshine let alone a little snow, so expect the evening rush tomorrow and definitely the morning rush Friday to be less than desirable. Then some of the most intense cold since several years ago rushes in behind the storm. Lows Friday night will be subzero in many areas!!
