Schuylkill County Morning Weather Update

Good morning! The relief from the extreme cold begins today with temperatures into the 20s and the weekend into the 40s in many areas. Precipitation will be with us over the weekend, as well, but at this point, it looks like and fairly innocuous, and may actually lean on the liquid rather than frozen side. Don't get used to the quieter weather, however. A storm looms mid next week and a few days after that.

Schuylkill County Weather Forecast

By:  Monsoon Mike

Today was the last REALLY brutal cold day for now and a noticeable improvement happens tomorrow as temperatures get back into the 20s. 

I think Friday through the weekend turn out more cloudy than sunny with rounds of light precipitation, some of which could be frozen, but some of which could actually be some plain liquid as temperatures may even visit the 40s. Boy will that feel balmy. Either way, not a whole lot of juice with this system. 

The big story next week will be slowly falling temperatures again (although not polar, just seasonally chilly) and the chance for a storm mid next week which my crystal ball tells us could be our next big storm, at least for the northern regions of my coverage area. Much to be worked out between now and then.

Have a good evening!
