Sunday Snow Update
10:45AM UPDATE: Good morning! Just a quick update for you guys regarding the snow you'll see today. There's some scattered light snow showers lingering around the area this morning. They will not amount to much more than a light dusting. The main batch of snow will arrive AFTER 1pm this afternoon. It will be a light snow event lasting until the evening hours. Most of us will pick up 1-3 inches out of this one. Even though it won't be a lot of snow, be careful on the roads this afternoon. Any snow that falls will stick instantaneously because it's only in the 20's outside. Have a great day!

Schuylkill County Weekend Forecast
7:20PM Update: Tonight will be mainly clear. With a snow pack on the ground, our temps will dip fairly low tonight. In the higher terrain expect some single digits. The rest of us will bottom out in the lower teens. On your Saturday you'll see some morning sunshine. Clouds will increase and the daytime hours will finish off mostly cloudy. By evening, a chance for snow showers materializes. It's not a widespread snow event. It's just a "chance" from Saturday Night through Sunday Evening. Since the snow showers will be scattered, some locations may only see a coating while others see 1-2 inches. It's all about where areas of light snow decide to set up. As snow showers form, I'll be updating throughout the weekend on my Facebook Page. Check out Tamaqua Area Weatherman periodically to see if any are headed towards Schuylkill County. Also, highs on both Saturday and Sunday will top out in the mid 20's. Have a great weekend!

7:20PM Thursday Weather Update
7:20PM Update: Hope you were able to enjoy that sunshine today! Tonight will dip down into the teens once again. Watch out for areas of black ice this evening and overnight. Everything that melted today has now quickly glazed over if left untreated. During the day Friday we'll have a mix of sun and clouds across the county. Highs will top out in the mid to upper 20's. We'll see some more snow this weekend. This will occur Saturday Night into Sunday morning. It will be a light snowfall totaling 1 to 3 inches. Hoping for a coastal storm dropping 1-2 feet of snow? It's definitely NOT gonna happen this weekend. Any hype you may have heard is finally starting to dwindle down now. Have a great night!
