Thursday Morning Update 

As we start this brand new month, it is the start of meteorological winter.  The wind will not be as strong as yesterday (even though some mentioned it wasn’t bad then), but it will be noticeable with the colder air.

Our cycle of rain and wind every 3rd day will continue, so next up will be Saturday, then colder on Sunday.  If you missed my look ahead, the pattern change is on the way by the end of next week, and I will share that link below. But first, the current weather.

Morning Temperatures

Widespread 30s are reported through metro areas and across the Bay. The 20s are in the higher mountains and west towards Pittsburgh.

Wind Chill

Winds are 5 to 10 mph at this time, but expected to increase after sunrise with typical daily mixing. That will keep wind chills low.

Morning Surface Weather

Those strong winds ignited some Lake Effect Snow showers across New York and Pennsylvania. Flurries even reached metro Philadelphia, but didn’t amount to much. The more pronounced snow is across the Finger Lakes region of Central New York.

Headlines

• Today: Chilly and Breezy.  Wind Chills noticeable through the afternoon. 
• Tomorrow: Sunny and mild.
• Weekend: Saturday rain showers, Sunday windy and chilly.

Temps will be much cooler than yesterday and when the wind gets added in, it will feel even colder.

Wind Chill

Brisk winds will make it feel like the 30s for most of the region east of the mountains.
