Snow is reduced early Thursday morning, but there are low temperatures, there are even more chances of snow | The weather

FORECAST SUMMARY

It was another cold Wednesday in February, but for a change, it didn’t include any snowflakes, at least until we got into the night. Once it rolled last night, another round of accumulated snow moved through Pennsylvania and New Jersey. This time, the snow was stronger as we traveled south, and while many of us picked up a one- or two-inch coating of fluffy snow, some slightly higher amounts occurred at the southern tip of Pennsylvania, Delaware. and southern Jersey. It is these areas of the south that will probably have the most trouble traveling early this morning.

Any snow ends early and most of the day should be dry, followed also by a flake-free Friday. But, as it has been most of February so far, any break with the flakes is ephemeral. Indeed, another round of snow or a winter mix is ​​expected in the middle of the weekend, which will likely favor the northern stretches again.

After that, it is next Tuesday that will likely cause our next storm, this time perhaps more snow, icy rains and rain instead of snow. But, as has been the case throughout the month, let’s focus on one winter weather time at a time. Given the continued pattern of active and winter weather, temperatures remain colder for the foreseeable future, with no sustained thaws in sight.

DETAILED FORECAST

TODAY FOR FRIDAY

The snow will gradually reduce and end from northwest to southeast as we reach the heart of our morning rush today. The snow will last longer near the I-95 corridor, where it may not be until mid-morning that it is finally done.

While for many the snow should end with the morning rush, we will still have to take into account the slippery spots due to the freshly fallen snow, certainly on any elevated surface, untreated bridges and steps. .

After the snow is over, the clouds will stay for most of the day, although we don’t stop having a touch of sunshine as we enter the afternoon. The rest of the day will be cold, but also drier, and the highs are expected to be around freezing temperature.

Don’t expect too much thawing with clouds and almost frost, but road conditions will improve markedly during the day.

A second disturbance tonight and Friday should plunge south enough to stop influencing our weather, so expect only a cloudy sky tonight with minimal falls on top teens (watch out for slippery spots in from a freezing of stagnant water and hut)).

Then, for Friday, you can expect more in the form of the sun mixed with clouds to end the week. Despite a bit of sunshine, the cold air stays firmly in place, with Friday’s highs probably caught up in the 1920s.

THIS WEEKEND

The weekend probably starts with a bit of sunshine early Saturday and ends with a bit of sunshine later on Sunday, but in between, another moving storm will bring us another round of winter time in the middle of the weekend. .

For areas north and west of the Lehigh Valley, this appears to be mostly snow, while areas in the south and east could cope with snow, a winter mix and flat rain if traveling. closer to the coast. Some accumulation of snow, ice and sleet is possible with this feature for late Saturday and especially Saturday night.

FIRST WEEK

Monday looks cold and dry, a brief break between systems. But another storm, potentially more significant, could affect the area from Tuesday to Wednesday.

This has the potential to be more rainy and icy than any other storm so far this month, so the potential for a winter mix and some ice will need to be closely monitored. Flat rain can also affect some, especially in the south and east you travel.
