SUMMARY FORECASTS

We are cloudy today when a cold front passes over us.

The cold front is also causing some gusts this morning. In a few places in the mountains, even larger flakes will fall from a snow shower, but nothing accumulates. Most of us stay dry all morning.

Everyone is dry this afternoon. But it is cold this afternoon in the 1930s. There is no wind chill.

Monday there is still no wind chill, but it is quite cloudy. In the afternoon there will be some sun peaks, but don’t expect to see much sun. Tuesday afternoon it will be sunnier and Wednesday it will be mostly sunny.

If the skies are clear on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, look for Jupiter in the evening just after sunset. It will be the brightest object in the night sky. Right next to it will be Saturn.

Jupiter and Saturn are very close together. In fact, they are so close on Monday that they would look like one big planet. But it will be too cloudy for us to see that.

Monday evening we get some more showers and snow showers from those clouds.

Philadelphia and the Philly area will see a few showers on Monday evening. The Poconos, the Lehigh Valley, Schuylkill and Berks Counties will see some snow showers. Some of those snow showers cause a layer of snow. Not everyone gets a shower or snow on Monday evening.

Monday night — Future radar shows some passing snow showers, sleet and showers Monday evening.

Now, on Christmas Eve, everyone gets rain in the afternoon and at night. There is at least an inch of rain on the way, which will help melt much of the snow.

The question is, does the rain end like snow on Christmas morning?

One of the future radars we use to forecast is for rain to turn to snow on Thursday evening. When that happens, we get a little more than a layer of snow and a white Christmas.

Christmas morning american — This future radar wants the rain to end like snow on Christmas morning. This is America’s future radar.

All other future radars we use to forecast only show rain. So plan on rain.

euros free — This is one of many future radars that will only show rain at Christmas.

But we’ll keep you posted all week about the potential of a White Christmas on WFMZ, the WFMZ Weather Channel on 69.2, the 69 News Weather app, and here on WFMZ.com.

When we talk about the potential of snow, that means it will be pretty chilly on Friday, and that’s true. We are in our 30s with the temperature dropping all day long. It will be quite a change from Thursday’s 50s!

It will be windy on both Thursday and Friday, but on Friday you will only really notice the wind because of the wind chill it brings.

The cold air is coming in even more for the coming weekend. The highs will be close to 30 and the wind will still blow on Saturday.

It will be sunny and dry on both Saturday and Sunday of the coming weekend.
