"What it feels like" local temperatures will begin to trend above average during this week, according to AccuWeather Inc. in State College. Our area could close in on July-like levels by the weekend.
A windstorm that could bring gusts from the northwest, blowing at up to 60 miles an hour, poses a roughly 12-hour property damage threat between Friday afternoon and early Saturday morning.
AccuWeather experts headquartered in State College PA say our region's temperatures during Tuesday could run into the 70s. After that, protect your young plants!; thermometers could dive to the 30s.
A minor risk of flooding prevailed Monday morning as the past hours of rain subsided. Up next, according to AccuWeather, is a huge temperature drop that could make Tuesday driving slippery.
The National Weather service is keeping a winter weather advisory in place Friday until 4 p.m. for parts of Montgomery and Chester counties, due to freezing rain that made roads slippery overnight.
At mid-day Thursday, AccuWeather updated its outlook for the winter storm hitting western Montgomery County and southeastern PA. Snow totals over a 24-hour period are proving surprising.
As the next winter storm arrives Thursday in this portion of the Northeast, AccuWeather experts predicted accumulating snow and a "messy mix" of other hazards. Stay off the roads, it suggested.
The National Weather Service warning, updated Monday at 4:15 a.m., anticipates a wintry mix during morning hours, changing Monday afternoon and night to freezing rain with significant icing. Stay home, it said.
