WGAL NEWS 8 STORM TEAM FORECAST WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGY IST JOE CALHOUN. THIS JUST IN FROM BARB. NONE OF THOSE BEARS SAW THEIR SHADOW TODAY. SO SPRING’S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. HERE WE COME. NOT VERY SPRING LIKE RIGHT NOW. LOOKING LIVE OVER HARRISBURG, BY THE WAY. HAD A FEW FOLKS SEND ME PICTURES OF THE HALO AROUND THE MOON. IT’S A SIGN OF THE ATMOSPHERE GETTING COLDER THERE. ICE CRYSTALS IN THOSE VERY HIGH CLOUDS IN THE MOONLIGHT REFLECT SEEING THROUGH THOSE ICE CRYSTALS RIGHT NOW, THOUGH. HEY, BIG SKIES. SEE THE FLAG STARTING TO FLAP A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT’S NOT ALL THAT BAD OUT THERE. NOW. 35 WITH THOSE CLOUDS COMING IN. THEY’RE GOING TO LOWER A LITTLE BIT AS SOME SNOW SHOWERS MAY COME THROUGH LIKE WESTERLY BREEZE RIGHT NOW. BUT THINGS ARE ABOUT TO CHANGE. A FEW SNOW SHOWERS COME THROUGH AS IT TURNS. WINDY OR OVERNIGHT. TONIGHT, TEMPERATURES DROP TO ABOUT THE MID-TWENTIES AND THEN WE KIND OF STAY THERE FOR THE MORNING AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE AN IMPACT BECAUSE IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIKE THE TEENS TOMORROW MORNING AND FEELING LIKE NEAR ZERO BY DAY’S END AS TEMPERATURES SLIDE THROUGH THE TWENTIES. I THINK BY THE TIME WE GET TO MAYBE SUPPERTIME TOMORROW COULD BE IN THE TEENS WITH THAT WIND HOWLING. WHOO! IT’S GOING TO GET COLDER. BUT AGAIN, IT’S NOT BAD OUT THERE AT THIS HOUR. 32. AND IT IS A REGULAR COLD, RIGHT? CEILINGS GOES AT 31. SAME. AND STAY COLLEGE. BUT LOOK, JUST TO THE NORTH AND WEST, YOU GET INTO THE 20 BOYS AND TEENS AND SINGLE DIGITS. HERE’S THE CORE OF THE COLDER AIR THAT’S GOING TO SLIDE BY TO OUR NORTH. BUT A LOT OF THIS IS GOING TO PUSH SOUTH BETTER RIGHT ALONG THAT EDGE, THAT COLDER AIR. YOU CAN SEE THIS LINE OF SNOW SHOWERS. THAT’S AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT THAT IS MOVING NOW INTO NORTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. BUT IT’S ALSO GOING TO KEEP MOST OF THIS MOISTURE AWAY FROM US SO WE DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MUCH IN THE WAY OF PRECIPITATION. SO LET’S TIME OUT THIS FRONT FOR YOU. MOST OF THESE CLOUDS ARE THOSE HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS CAUSING THAT HALO AROUND THE MOON TONIGHT. BUT HERE IS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AS THAT COMES THROUGH. I’D SAY TWO, THREE, FOUR IN THE MORNING COULD BE SOME SNOW SHOWERS OUT THERE, MAYBE ENOUGH TO WHITE LIGHT IN A FEW LINES, BUT I DON’T THINK IT’S A BIG PROBLEM THAT MOVES THROUGH. YOU NOTICE THE CLOUD PATTERN. WE’RE GETTING THESE STREAKS OR WE CALL STREAMERS COMING OFF THE GREAT LAKES. THAT’S VERY COLD AIR. AND THE STRONG WINDS CARRYING THAT MOISTURE OFF THE LAKES. YEAH, IT’S FEBRUARY AND THE LAKES ARE IN FROZEN, AT LEAST NOT TOTALLY. NOW WE WILL START TO SEE THE WINDS TOWARD TOMORROW NIGHT START TO DIMINISH A LITTLE BIT. FEW CLOUDS COME THROUGH AS WE GO THROUGH THE MORNING AND MIDDAY, BUT SHOULD GET SUNNIER AS WE GO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON ON SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES, WOW, THEY START TO TUMBLE DOWN TO THE LOW TWENTIES AND MAYBE TEENS BY LATE IN THE DAY. TOMORROW. THE COLDEST TIME WILL BE PROBABLY OVERNIGHT TOMORROW NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING, SATURDAY AFTERNOON, TEMPERATURES BOUNCE BACK UP CLOSER TO 30 DEGREES. SO THE WORST OF THE COLD COMBINED. THE TEMPERATURES AND THE WIND PROBABLY LATE TOMORROW THROUGH EARLY ON SATURDAY. THEN THINGS IMPROVE AS WE GO INTO SUNDAY. IN FACT, SUNDAY, MILDER, MID-FORTIES, KIND OF A BRISK BREEZE. THE SYSTEM GOING BY BRINGS THAT WIND IN. BUT TEMPERATURES STILL IN THE FORTIES ON MONDAY. LOOK AT THAT FIFTIES BY TUESDAY COULD BE EVEN WARMER. COULD BE A CHANCE OF SOME SHOWERS. WEDNESDAY AGAIN
