Clouds continue for this evening and tonight. Even a stray snow shower is possible, especially across the Northern Tier and the Laurel Highlands. Snow should not accumulate, but if it does it will only be a dusting. Colder air is being ushered in by a westerly wind. Winds will continue to pick up tonight with gusts into the 20 mile per hour range. Temperatures tonight will drop into the single digits across Central Pennsylvania, and the air will feel even colder thanks to the gusty winds. The arctic air sticks around for Monday despite some sunshine. Temperatures will only be in the lower teens, and by Monday night, some spots will go below the zero degree mark once again. Due to the extreme cold, the National Weather Service has issued a Wind Chill Advisory for most of the viewing area that begins Monday at 12:00 AM and continues until Tuesday at 9:00 AM. Please make sure to bundle up when going outside, and that your pets have a warm place to stay. High pressure continues to build for Tuesday with a mix of clouds and sunshine and temperatures will rebound into the upper 20s. By Tuesday night, a cold front will glide across the area to the north, this will bring us some snow showers, and the snow showers will continue into Wednesday. Highs on Wednesday will be in the mid 20s, and by Wednesday night, more cold air filters in. Lows on Wednesday night will be in the upper single digits. Another high pressure system moves in for Thursday and Friday, and by the weekend temperatures will be back into the 30s.
