Schuylkill County Weather Forecast

By: Monsoon Mike

I never made too big a deal in my forecasts the past few days regarding tonight's storm and I'm kinda glad I didn't. Even though it is nasty as all heck out there with a cold, raw rain and some sleet mixing in, I really don't think we see more than a bit of slushy snow at the tail end of the storm overnight despite some other folks calling for inches. Nevertheless, it only takes a little bit of slush on the road to slick things up, so be careful!

A one day break between storms happens Saturday as a weak high pressure system moves in, but it'll be short lived. Sunday we cloud things up again and a mixture of snow/sleet/and freezing rain moves in late and continues overnight into Monday, eventually probably changing to all rain, but this storm could be a little more stubborn with the wintry weather and actually cause some travel havoc Sunday Night into Monday morning as I think some cold air gets trapped near the earth. More updates on that as we draw closer. Of course, the best chances for bad weather in a situation like this is the farther north you go.

Then we REALLY cool things down mid next week. Temperatures will once again struggle to exit the 20s by midweek.
