New Jersey's coast will be hardest hit by what's left of Hurricane Ian as it moves north. Montgomery, Berks and Chester counties are likely to escape with far less rain and limited winds, the National Weather Service reports.
With Thursday temperatures expected to jump as high as 101 degrees, and persist until 8 p.m., the National Weather Service placed western Montgomery and all of Berks counties under a heat advisory.
The National Weather Service predicted rains would move out of the Pottstown area early Sunday morning, leaving swollen creeks and cooler temperatures behind. The rest of the week, though, should be sunny and significantly warmer.
The National Weather Service warned gardeners Sunday afternoon that their tender plants could benefit from protection later in the evening. It issued a front advisory for overnight hours Sunday to Monday.
Of 12 locations where snowfall was measured Saturday in the Tri-County area, the National Weather Service reported, Trappe received the most, followed by New Hanover and Gilbertsville.
Winds blowing through Montgomery, Berks and Chester counties from noon Monday through early Tuesday morning could briefly gust at speeds of up to 50 mph, the National Weather Service said.
Thursday afternoon into Friday night will be a potentially hazardous time for travel in Montgomery and Chester counties, weather forecasters said. Icy wintry mix conditions and low-30s temperatures will make roads slick.
"Batten down the hatches" was a warning to secure a ship's tarpaulins when rough weather was expected. That's good advice for personal belongings Thursday night through Friday morning. Local winds were gusting up to 50 mph.
