Frigid Temperatures For This Weekend

The snow that fell yesterday, is here to stay. Not only am I expecting the mid-state to reach close to record breaking temperatures this Weekend, I am also keeping my eye on a potential Winter Storm for the early part of next week.

Temperatures both Saturday and Sunday will struggle to get out of the teens and in some elevated areas, the single digits.

Take a look at how temperatures will feel like Saturday Afternoon, known as the Wind Chill Factor:

Brrr....Temperatures Saturday Afternoon will feel like below 0..in fact well below 0.

Actual temperatures plummet to near 0 degrees Saturday Night. This will leave the "real feel" temp Saturday Night and Sunday Morning dangerously cold:

The real feel temps will range between negative 15 and negative 25 degrees for the area. Colder as you head into the Poconos.

This is an urgent request that you bring in all your pets inside this weekend. I hate to say it, but they will die if you leave them out in these temperatures. Also, be sure to check in on your elderly neighbors, family members, and friends.

If you have any outdoor plans this weekend, please note if your skin is exposed to these temperatures for more than 30 minutes, you will be exposed to frostbite...

The next storm potential is between Monday (2/15) and Wednesday (2/17). Too early for specifics, however it looks like a fairly significant system will be targeting our region during this time. At this point I do not know whether it will be rain or snow..or even ice. The only thing I do know, is the time-frame and that it looks like a large system. I will have more updates as we get closer.
