Will Wednesday be snowy or rainy or slushy or sleety?
Yes, it will.
Rumors have been swirling of 6-10 inches or more of snowfall tomorrow. For most of us, I just don't think that will happen. Let me get right into the forecast, which I've been struggling with for a couple of days now...
For those of us in the forecast area (central and southern Berks, northern Lancaster Counties), we'll see snow begin overnight, mixing with rain by late morning. We will likely see several different types of precipitation (snow, sleet, rain) throughout the afternoon and evening before tapering off to flurries and snow showers overnight into Thursday. I believe rain will be the predominant precipitation type most of us will see. Temperatures will hold steady in the mid-30s for the entire day.
Accumulations: An inch or two of snow and sleet accumulation on grassy and untreated surfaces. Extreme northern Berks, Lehigh, and Schuylkill Counties (as well as NE PA, North Jersey, and the Poconos) could see as much as six inches.
Travel problems: Before sunrise tomorrow morning, as well as tomorrow evening, roads could be slick and a bit treacherous. But while the sun is out, most roads will be merely wet.
School scheduling disruptions: Delay 35%; cancellation 15%.
Stay tuned for updates...
