Schuylkill County Weather Forecast


By:  Monsoon Mike

Since tonight and tomorrow's temperature is going to be pure despair for summer lovers, let's skip ahead to this coming weekend where, believe it or not, I see temperatures actually going ABOVE normal as in 40s or even 50s!
But that's then and this is now and we must discuss tonight's potentially dangerous situation with wind chill values approaching -30 and actual air temperatures near -5! Please, whatever you do, please do not leave any pets outside and YOU shouldn't even go outside if you don't have to. If you do, make sure your car is ready to go with emergency supplies should you break down.
The good news is this polar plunge is actually quite short-lived and by Wednesday, we're back in the twenties and, like I said by the end of the week, temperatures quite mild!
A minor snow and/or ice event is possible around Thursday or Friday, but let's get through this polar plunge first before worrying about that.
