HAS HAD THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES SO FAR THIS WINTER SEASON. Temperatures will be in the mid to upper teens, 18 in Harrisburg, 15 in Lebanon, 20 in Lancaster. BUT WHILE YOU GO TO YORK, GETTYSBURG AND CHAMBERSBURG. A little cloud cover will keep temperatures there in the mid 20s, but it will still be very cold on the way out. YOUR NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST CALLS FOR TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 20S AT 8:00 AM. LOTS OF SUNSHINE EXPECTED TODAY. A FEW HIGH CLOUDS WILL APPEAR LATER, BUT MOSTLY SUNNY AND WE WILL BE BELOW AVERAGE AGAIN WITH A HIGH OF JUST 36 DEGREES. BUT A LITTLE BETTER THAN YESTERDAY. Clouds will continue to increase into the evening and temperatures will drop back to the mid 20s. AND IT WILL BE COLD AGAIN TONIGHT, WITH LOW TO MID 20°C ACROSS THE REGION. THOSE CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD UP AND DESPITE THE CLOUDY COVER, IT WILL STILL BE COLD TOMORROW. Mostly cloudy, then a wintry mix of snow and sleet moves in. A LITTLE RAIN IN THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST, AND THEN AS WARMER AIR INSIDE IT CHANGES TO ALL RAIN. TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 30S MORNING EAST-SOUTHEAST WINDS ABOUT 5 TO 10 MPH. While we check the chances of precipitation, we were dry today. WE’LL START TOMORROW DRY, BUT NOW IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON WE’LL REALIZE THAT THIS MIXTURE IS STARTING. The best chance of rain will be overnight. TOMORROW NIGHT IT WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT, I SHOULD SAY, UNTIL MONDAY MORNING. WE TAKE A LITTLE BREAK IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON OF MONDAY, THEN THERE WILL BE MORE CHANCES OF RAIN ON THE NIGHT OF MONDAY AND IT WILL BE A VERY ACTIVE WEEK WITH SEVERAL CHANCES OF WET WEATHER. LANCASTER, SKY CAM SHOWS A LITTLE BRIGHTNESS ON THE HORIZON, THE SUN IS SLOWLY RISING. Officially it does not increase until the year 722. You can only see a few clouds out there. NOW WE ARE 21 IN HARRISBURG, 20 IN LANCASTER. SOME MORE TEENS IN THE NORTH AND THEN MID TO UP 20S IN THE SOUTH. As already mentioned, it is only slightly cloudy here in the south, which keeps the temperatures up. But elsewhere we realize that it is high pressure, record breaking, possibly high pressure that is controlling our weather. We have cold air trapped in the Northeast, but our approaching storm system will carry some warmer air. It’ll just take a while to get here, but the moisture will arrive sooner as temperatures are still below average and still cold enough to cause snow and sleet early on. So here’s the good looking day today. TONIGHT THE CLOUDS WILL BE OVER AND TOMORROW IT WILL START OUT DRY. BUT AS WE STAND INTO THE AFTERNOON YOU COULD SEE SOME SNOW AND SLIGHTNESS BROUGHT IN AND THIS WILL CHANGE TO RAIN. MAY REMAIN AS A MIX IN OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES A LITTLE LONGER. AND THEN AS WE APPROACH THE LATE EVENING HOURS FINALLY CHANGES TO TOTAL RAIN. And then we start commuting from here on Monday morning. BUT THEN ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS COMING IN LATE AFTERNOON AND THEN THERE WILL BE MORE RAIN OVERNIGHT MONDAY TO TUESDAY. REGARDING SNOWFALL POTENTIAL, THE BEST CHANCES ARE ON THE HIGHER ridges, AND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT OUR HIGHER Elevations HERE IN MIFFLIN AND JUNIATA COUNTIES COULD HAVE A HALF AN INCH, PERHAPS EVEN A FEW INCHES OF SNOWFALL. SOME OF THE HIGHER Elevations OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY AND FRANKLIN COUNTY AND EVEN PARTS OF ADAMS COUNTY. AND THESE HILLHEADS COULD HAVE SOME MINOR ACCUMULATIONS, PARTICULARLY IN THE GRASS AREAS. YOUR TEN DAY FORECAST SHOWS TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE WARMING. We are in the 40s. ON MONDAY. WE’LL GO INTO THE 50S ON TUESDAY, SHOWERS IN THE MORNING, and the rest of the day looks dry. ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL MOVE IN ON WEDNESDAY. LATE IN THE DAY. Temperatures are still in the high 40s and we will continue to see a chance of showers on Thursday. IT WILL BE COLD NEXT WEEKEND. Might have some flurri

It’s the coldest night of the season with lows in the teens and lows of 20°C. In areas south of the state border, there will be high clouds that will increase temperatures slightly. You may be able to see the Geminid meteor shower this morning, except where the clouds are located. December’s full moon occurs at 4:01 a.m. Sunday, but the moon’s brightness may complicate viewing conditions for the meteor shower. The ISS flyover will also take place this morning at around 6:34 a.m. Today’s near record high pressure will bring mostly sunny skies. The highs are around 30°C, so it is still very cool. Clouds will gather later tonight as the next storm system approaches. It’s still very cold tonight, with temperatures in the low to mid 20s. A wintry mix is ​​expected to develop from west to east on Sunday. It will continue before changing to full rain later this evening. A light accumulation of snow and sleet is possible on the ridges north and west of I-81. Before transferring, be careful when driving on bridges and overpasses. Temperatures will warm and the mix will change to all rain by the evening. Highs will again be in the mid to upper 30s. There will be early showers on Monday, then more in the afternoon. Highs will be in the low to mid 40s. Milder air will continue to move in overnight and the weather will be wetter. Persistent morning showers will occur on Tuesday, so the rest of the day will be mild, with low to mid 50s and partly to mostly sunny skies. Another system during the week keeps the chance of rain up and we will also see temperatures trending colder. Make it a great day!
