Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Pennsylvania Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd. Folks, that storm dumped five and a half inches on us yesterday.. And it's still not done talking. You're stepping outside to 30 degrees, snow everywhere. And northwest winds howling at 15 to 16 miles an hour. Wind chills? Single digits. Below zero in the mountains. The kind of cold that finds every zipper gap in your coat. Now let me walk you through where things stand tonight. Down in Southeast PA, you'll climb to 34 degrees by 5 P.M. Sounds almost pleasant until those gusts remind you otherwise. Tonight drops to 21. Over in Central PA, highs only hit 35 degrees. Winds shift from northwest to west around 2 P.M., but tomorrow morning still feels like 18 degrees. Ten inches already on the ground there. And out in Western PA, lake effect snow is squeezing out its last flurries. Highs barely touch 36 degrees with strong gusts. Tonight plunges to 18. Here's where it gets interesting. A clipper system slides in from the Great Lakes Tuesday night. One to three inches along and north of I-56 degrees. The Poconos and Laurel Highlands grab the most. Not a blockbuster, but enough to make your Wednesday morning commute slippery. You'll want to build in extra time. Then Thursday gets messy. Rain and snow mixing south of the Turnpike. Picture slushy, sloppy evening roads. But hang on through all of that.. Because Saturday finally delivers. Sunshine. Upper 40s. Maybe low 50s in spots. A genuine thaw after this brutal stretch. Tonight, keep those wind chills in mind if you're letting the dog out. Exposed skin and single digit wind chills aren't friends. I'll be tracking that clipper system all night. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!
Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Pennsylvania Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd. Folks, if you've been shoveling today.. You're not done yet. Five and a half inches have fallen in the last 24 hours. And this storm has one last act. Southeast Pennsylvania, you're taking the hardest punch right now. Heavy snow and blowing snow continue through 1 P.M. Another 10 to 14 inches are possible before this wraps up. Winds are gusting to 40 miles an hour out of the northwest. That turns snowflakes into sandpaper. Philadelphia, Lancaster, York.. Visibility is dropping fast near open fields. Roads that looked fine an hour ago? Not anymore. Even after the flakes quit, those gusts will sculpt fresh drifts all afternoon. Tonight, temperatures plummet to 23 degrees by 7 A.M. Tuesday. Wind chills drop to 19 degrees. That's frostbite territory if you're not covered up. Now slide west toward Pittsburgh. Snow's lighter here. A chance of flurries through 6 P.M. But Cambria and Somerset Counties could still pick up 2 to 4 inches. The real story is wind gusting to 28 miles an hour across the ridges. By 5 A.M., you're feeling 19 degrees with the wind chill. Brutal. Central Pennsylvania, you're catching a relative break. Slight chance of snow around 11 A.M. Highs near 36 degrees. But light snow sneaks back in after 7 P.M. Tonight. Less than an inch. Lows hit 20 degrees. Wind chill near 19 degrees by morning. Now the week ahead tells a wild story. Tuesday starts quiet and sunny. Low 30s. Then Wednesday.. Everything flips. A rain and snow mix pushes highs into the mid 40s. That's 15 degrees warmer than today. Thursday stays messy. Low 40s with more rain and snow. Friday finally clears out with sunshine and mid 40s. Then Saturday? Fifty one degrees. That's practically spring knocking on the door. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight every day now. Winter's grip is loosening.. But today it's still squeezing hard. Shovel carefully. Drive slower than you think you need to. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!
Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Pennsylvania Weather Podcast. It's Monday, February 23rd. Folks, if you looked outside and thought your yard moved to Alaska overnight.. You're not dreaming. Four and a half inches of snow in the last 24 hours. Two and a quarter of that dumped in just the last six hours. And it's still coming down. The southeast is taking the biggest punch. Philly, Lancaster, the Lehigh Valley.. You're staring down another 10 to 14 inches on top of what's already there. The heaviest band hit around 5 A.M. And heavy snow continues through 2 P.M. Winds gusting to 40 miles an hour are creating whiteout conditions. This is the kind of storm that swallows your mailbox. Tonight lows hit 23 degrees. Wind chill drops to 15 by 4 A.M. Now push west toward Pittsburgh. You're catching a lighter round. Another 1 to 3 inches, mostly in the Laurel Highlands. Snow wraps up by 6 P.M. Gusts reach 25 miles an hour, so blowing snow still cuts visibility. Tonight falls to 19 degrees, feeling closer to 19 degrees. Up through the middle of the state, snow tapers by 9 A.M. Maybe another inch. The real troublemaker is wind whipping loose snow across open roads. Highs barely scratch 39 degrees. Tonight plunges to 20. If you're shoveling today, pace yourself. This snow is concrete heavy. Your back isn't a snowplow. Tuesday brings a brief break with partly sunny skies. Then more snow sneaks in Tuesday night statewide. But here's the plot twist. By Wednesday, highs climb into the mid 40s. Rain mixes in. Thursday another system rolls through. And the weekend? Sunny skies and low 50s. Fifty degrees after all this. That's enough to make you weep into your hot chocolate. Right now though, if you don't have to drive, don't. Visibility is awful and roads are treacherous. I'll be tracking this storm all day. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!
Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Pennsylvania Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. And folks, this is the big one. A historic winter storm is hammering the state right now. Snow is already falling. And the worst is still ahead. Let me walk you through it. Down in Southeast PA, Philly, Lancaster, Berks County, you're under a Blizzard Warning. Snow cranks up to two inches an hour by 5 P.M. And doesn't quit until well after midnight. Totals? Twelve to twenty inches. Winds gusting to 45 miles an hour will create total whiteouts. You'll want to be home and staying put. This storm shuts roads down. Push west into Central PA. State College, Harrisburg, the Laurel Highlands. You're looking at six to twelve inches under a Winter Storm Warning. Peak intensity hits between 5 P.M. And 2 A.M. Northwest winds will pile snow into drifts overnight. Monday morning's commute? Brutal. Over in Western PA, Pittsburgh and Erie catch the lighter side. Three to six inches, with lake effect tacking on a few more near Erie. Gusts near 30 miles an hour will cut visibility on I-80 and I-90. Here's what matters tonight. Charge your phones now. Heavy wet snow plus 45 mile an hour gusts equals downed trees and power lines. If you're in the southeast, you could lose power. Have flashlights ready and fill a bathtub for flushing water. This isn't a drill. By Monday, snow tapers off around noon. But bitter cold rushes in behind it. Highs barely touch 20 degrees. Wind chills near zero. Now the week ahead tells quite a story. Tuesday brings a clipper with another one to three inches north of I-80. Wednesday turns slushy with a rain and snow mix. Thursday? Another system, rain changing to snow, especially in the Poconos. But here's the plot twist. By Saturday, sunshine returns with highs near 50 degrees. After tonight, that'll feel like July. Right now though, check on your neighbors. Especially the elderly ones. That's the Pennsylvania thing to do. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!
Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Pennsylvania Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. And folks, this is the big one. A potentially historic blizzard is bearing down on Pennsylvania right now. Light snow is already falling, but don't let that fool you. By this afternoon, snowfall rates jump to two inches per hour in the east. By tonight? Whiteout conditions. Howling winds. The kind of storm you'll tell your grandkids about. Southeast PA, you're ground zero. Philadelphia is staring down 14 to 20 inches of snow with wind gusts hitting 50 miles an hour. That's zero visibility. That's roads you can't drive on. A Blizzard Warning runs through Monday evening across Delaware, Chester, Montgomery. And Bucks Counties. If you're not home already, get there now. Power outages are likely tonight. Push west toward State College and Altoona. And it's a different beast but just as brutal. The ridges of Cambria and Somerset Counties could bury under 12 to 18 inches. Valleys still catch 6 to 12. Gusts near 40 miles an hour turn all that snow sideways. This one doesn't quit until Monday night. Pittsburgh, you're catching the lighter end. Three to six inches with gusts near 40 miles an hour. The ridges near Johnstown push closer to a foot. Wind driven drifts will still make roads treacherous tonight. Here's the timeline that matters. This afternoon the storm cranks up hard. Tonight is the worst of it. Travel becomes genuinely dangerous. Monday it tapers west to east, but Arctic air crashes in behind it. Wind chills drop to zero or below. The week ahead tells quite a story. Tuesday we dig out under bitter cold, highs barely cracking the 20s. Another quick shot of snow Tuesday night adds one to three inches. Wednesday finally warms into the mid 40s. Thursday brings a wintry mix. Then Saturday? Southeast PA could touch 50 degrees. Because Pennsylvania. Charge your phones. Fill your bathtubs. Keep your shovels close. This storm earns its place in the record books. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Pennsylvania Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd, and folks, this is a big one. A potentially historic winter storm is bearing down on us right now. If you're in southeast Pennsylvania, you're looking at a blizzard. Not a figure of speech. Actual blizzard warnings are in effect. Let's start where the storm hits hardest. Philadelphia, Lancaster, the Lehigh Valley. Snow takes over by 10 A.M. And doesn't quit until Monday afternoon. You're talking 14 to 20 inches. Some spots could push two feet. Winds gust to 50 miles an hour tonight, creating total whiteouts. Wind chill drops to 16 degrees. This is a stay home storm. Don't plan to travel after noon. Power outages are likely, so grab those flashlights now. Drive west toward State College and Harrisburg. You've got 18 straight hours of snow starting at 5 A.M. Valleys pick up 3 to 7 inches. The Laurel Highlands? Double that. Gusts hit 40 miles an hour on the ridges. Cambria and Somerset Counties could wake up Monday under a foot of snow. Wind chill sits around 21 degrees. Brutal for shoveling. Pittsburgh, you dodge the worst. Still messy though. Two to five inches, enough to slick every road. Gusts reach 25 miles an hour. You'll warm to 38 degrees by 2 P.M., but watch for a flash freeze when winds flip northwest. Here's your week ahead. Monday brings lingering snow and dangerous gusts in the southeast. Tuesday gives us a brief sunny break, highs only in the low 30s. Wednesday drops another 1 to 3 inches, especially in the Poconos. Thursday turns milder with rain and snow mix. By Saturday, highs climb near 48 degrees in the east, 56 out west. Sunshine finally returns. One quick thing. If this podcast helps you plan your day, share it with a neighbor. Especially today. Check on the elderly folks nearby. Have food and water ready. And remember, we're gaining almost 3 minutes of daylight every day now. Winter's throwing everything it's got, but spring is closing in. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Pennsylvania Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 21st. Folks, enjoy tonight. Seriously. Step outside, take a breath of that 45 degree air, because what's coming tomorrow is a monster. Here's the deal. A major winter storm is bearing down on Pennsylvania, and by Sunday morning, this state transforms into a snow globe someone shook way too hard. Right now you're seeing mid 40s statewide. Quiet skies. Light winds. It's almost suspicious how nice it's. But by 3 A.M., the curtain drops. Let's take a drive through what's coming. Down in Southeast PA, around Philly and the Lehigh Valley, rain sneaks in after 3 A.M. and flips to heavy snow by 8. We're talking snowfall rates over an inch an hour. Total accumulations? Eleven to seventeen inches. Winds gusting to 40 miles an hour will create whiteout conditions on I 95. A Blizzard Warning is in effect. This is a stay home storm. Head west along I 81 into Central PA. Harrisburg and State College, you're looking at eight to twelve inches. The Laurel Highlands could see eighteen. Wind gusts to 40 miles an hour on the ridges mean brief blizzard conditions up there too. Over in Western PA, Pittsburgh catches a lighter punch. Three to six inches in the valleys, but the higher elevations pile up closer to twelve. Erie, you'll want to brace for lake effect kicking in Sunday night. Another three to six inches on top. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Tuesday brings a brief break with partly sunny skies and low 30s. Wednesday sneaks in another round of light snow. Thursday turns milder near 45 degrees with rain showers. Friday dries out. By next weekend, you're flirting with 50, but flooding from snowmelt becomes the new worry. Charge your devices tonight. Stock up on essentials. Check on your neighbors. Sunday and Monday, stay off the roads if you can. Bundle up if you're heading out. One more thing. If this forecast helped you prepare, share it with someone who needs the heads up. It really does help us grow. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there, folks!
Good evening, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Pennsylvania Weather Podcast for Saturday, February 21st. Here's the deal. Today was a trick. Sunny skies, highs near 48 degrees in the southeast, mid 40s everywhere else. Beautiful, right? Enjoy it tonight, because a monster is coming. A powerful coastal low is barreling toward us, and by Sunday morning, it takes over. This storm has blizzard written all over it. Let's start in the southeast. Philly and the Delaware Valley, you're ground zero. Light rain or snow sneaks in around 18 degrees A.M. By Sunday afternoon, heavy snow buries everything. We're talking 8 to 12 inches by Monday. Winds gusting to 40 miles an hour. That's blizzard territory. Travel could become flat out impossible. Now head west toward Harrisburg and State College. Snow starts light but gets serious by late morning. Six to 10 inches are likely. The Laurel Highlands could see a full foot. Northwest winds will whip that snow into drifts that'll swallow your mailbox. Out in Pittsburgh and Erie, snow arrives later but hangs around longer. Four to 18 degrees inches total. Erie gets bonus lake effect fluff on top. Monday the snow tapers, but winds howl at 25 to 35 miles an hour. Highs barely crack the mid 30s. Wind chills make it feel like the teens. Your shovel's getting a workout. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Tuesday brings partly sunny skies but only low 30s. Wednesday? Another round of light snow or rain, because Pennsylvania never lets you relax. Thursday and Friday finally warm into the 40s with scattered showers. If you've got Sunday plans, cancel them. Stock up tonight. Charge your devices. This is the real deal. One more thing. If this forecast helped you prepare, share it with a neighbor. That's how we look out for each other. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there!
Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Pennsylvania Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th. Folks, here's the deal. February just handed us a gift. Dry skies, calm winds, and mild temps across the entire state. No ice, no snow, no drama. Just a gorgeous late winter Saturday begging you to get outside. And here's what's happening with our daylight. We're gaining nearly three minutes every single day now. Sunrise hit at 6:32 this morning. Sunset's at 5:20 tonight. That's ten hours and 48 minutes of sun. You can feel the season turning. Air quality is excellent too. So if you've been cooped up all week, this's your day. No excuses. Now let's take a drive across the state. Down in Southeast PA, you're seeing highs near 48 degrees. Winds are gentle, five to ten miles an hour out of the west. Tonight drops to the upper 20s under crystal clear skies. Head west toward Pittsburgh and it's nearly identical. Highs of 47 degrees with a whisper of breeze, six to nine miles an hour. Overnight lows settle into the mid 20s. Up in Central Pennsylvania, you're the cool kid today at 46 degrees. Winds barely register, three to seven miles an hour from the northwest. Lows dip to the low 20s overnight. Honestly? A 48 to 46 degree spread statewide is about as boring as it gets. I love it. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. We stay dry through at least Tuesday. Highs hover in the mid to upper 40s with lows in the 20s. Right around normal for late February. By midweek, a weak system might brush the northern tier, but right now it looks like nothing more than a few clouds. If you've been waiting for easy, predictable weather, this's your week. Enjoy it. One more thing. If you're enjoying these daily updates, share us with a friend. It really does help. Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Pennsylvania Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th. Folks, here's the deal. Pennsylvania is running two completely different Februarys today. The western half feels like early spring. The southeast? Still stuck in winter's grip. Let's take a drive. Out in Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania, you're waking up to a gorgeous day. Highs climbing near 47 degrees under partly cloudy skies. A gentle west wind at 6 to 9 miles an hour. That's the kind of afternoon where you leave the heavy coat in the car. Tonight, lows only dip to the low 30s. Mild stuff for mid February. Head east along the turnpike into central Pennsylvania and it's nearly as nice. Highs hit 46 degrees with barely a breeze, just 3 to 7 miles an hour. Dry skies all day. Overnight lows settle into the upper 20s. Now keep driving toward Philly and the southeast. Here's where winter reminds you it's still around. You're only reaching 37 degrees today. A light west wind at 5 miles an hour doesn't help much. Tonight drops into the mid 20s. That's a full 10 degrees colder than Pittsburgh. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Sunday stays mild, so enjoy it. Monday a cold front crashes the party and drags highs back into the 30s statewide. By midweek you'll see a slight rebound into the low 40s. No major storms on the radar though. Just a quiet, chilly stretch. One bright spot. Sunrise hits at 6:32 this morning, and we're gaining almost 3 minutes of daylight every day now. You'll want to keep outdoor time easy if you're sensitive to air quality. It's sitting moderate today. Alright. If this forecast helped you plan your Saturday, share it with a neighbor. It really does help us grow. Bundle up if you're in the southeast. Enjoy the warmth out west. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
