Wednesday's Weather Forecast

Another day similar to Tuesday on Wednesday with a lot of clouds but some periods of sun, as well. Temperatures will be a tick warmer, perhaps into the 60 degree range. 

Right now, late trends are for Thursday's cold front to speed on through a little faster than we thought before, so if true, that would put a cap on Thursday being extremely mild like we originally thought may happen. It'll still be mild, however, but more in the way of around 60, rather than the 65 previously thought. Not a whole lot of rain with the front, but a light dumping of rain on the order of about a quarter inch is possible Thursday.

We then clear out for a pretty bright and seasonally cool November weekend.

Minersville Man Allegedly Sexually Assaults 14 Year Old Girl

Minersville Police have charged Sean Anthony, 35, of 300 Lewis St. with statutory sexual assault, indecent assault, and corruption of a minor.

According to reports, a 14 year old girl's mother contacted police on October 18th and stated that Anthony had sexual intercourse with her daughter.

The district attorney's office conducted and investigation interviewing Anthony and the 14 year old girl.  All statements were given and Anthony said the girl's statements were accurate.

Tuesday's Weather Forecast

Tuesday may turn out a bit on the cloudier side as an easterly flow off the ocean kicks in. As a result, temperatures will still be chilly, but it may be more of a "damp" chilly rather than Monday's "wintry" chilly. When I say "damp," however, I am not expecting any precipitation. Just the "feel" in the air. 

Might not be a ton of sun Wednesday either, but it will be noticeably milder with temperatures approaching 60. Perhaps up to 65 Thursday before our next cold front heads in and sends us back to normal temperatures once again. 

Weekend, from this far out perspective looks decent and seasonally cool.
