Schuylkill County Weather Forecast

By: Monsoon Mike

Sunday sure kept me on my toes. The day's freezing rain storm got off to a late start deceiving many folks with a beautiful morning sunshine if you were up that early. Things went downhill almost instantaneously around lunchtime, however, and what followed in the afternoon & evening was one of the more challenging ice storms that we've had in awhile.
Overnight tonight will actually see a slow rise in temperatures and by sunrise, we might even be near 40! But boy that won't last long because an arctic cold front plows in around 10a.m. sending our temperature diving and by tomorrow night, once again we're back to the negative digits. That'll be about a 45 to 50 degree drop in less than 12 hours! What a weird winter! Two concerns with that cold front tomorrow will be the possibility of some snow showers as it crosses and also of a flash freeze of any left standing water freezing solid by the evening commute.
That'll be followed by some cold, quieter weather until around Thursday when our next minor storm should approach. Not looking to be a major storm at this point. But more proof that this winter is going to be a long one. Nevertheless, if we play our cards right, I do see a bit of a January thaw the following week.
