Some of the forecast models are picking up on a speedy little clipper system moving through on Tuesday, and suggesting that it could produce accumulating snow and travel delays for some.
It looks more like a quick dusting.
Here's what I see for the coming week:
Monday 1/20: More clouds than sun. Chilly with a high of 38. Widely scattered rain or snow showers possible in the afternoon. Winds will make it feel like 20s during the day, single digits at night.
Tuesday 1/21: Noticeably colder and mostly cloudy again. A clipper may leave an inch or two of accumulation in Delaware, Philly, and South Jersey, but I don't expect more than a dusting for the Berks region. This would be a mid-morning-to-mid-afternoon joint: 10am to 2pm? Something like that.
High 22, low 5. (Wind chills: single digits during the day, negative single digits at night.)
Chance of cancellation Tuesday: 15%
Chance of delay Tuesday: 7%
Chance of early dismissal Tuesday: 19.5%
Gratuitous Hasselhoff pic.Wednesday 1/22: Sunny, breezy, and frigid. High 17, low 9.
Thursday 1/23: Partly cloudy and still a bit breezy. Afternoon snow showers or flurries can't be ruled out. High 26, low 11.
Friday 1/24: Hey, something different! It will be breezy and cold, but the sun will be out. High 26, low 12.
Saturday 1/25: Predominant clouds. Maybe a snow shower or two. High 32, low 18.
Sunday 1/26: Cold with sun and clouds brr. High 28, low 9.
Next week: Not quite as frigid, but still cold. Watch out for some snow possible on Tuesday 1/28 into Wednesday 1/29.
Stay tuned for updates as more model runs are released. If the storm tracks west (which is not looking likely, but it's possible), then Tuesday will be more ... notable.
