Wednesday and Thursday remain chilly in the 30s with sun and clouds each day and cold wind chills.  A warm front will approach the area, bringing the chance of a few snow showers on Thursday afternoon and evening, which could even leave some light dustings in spots. By Friday the clouds clear and temperatures rebound to the low 40s

We are tracking another storm Saturday for the start of the long Martin Luther King holiday weekend. Highs Saturday will be in the 40s with rain possible late that day. Temperatures will start falling Saturday night and there is a chance of the rain mixing with snow, especially in the Poconos.

Sunday will be mostly cloudy and cooler in the upper 30s. As of now the forecast models are differing with one of our longer range models forecasting the chance of some accumulating snow and the other keeping us dry. For now we're introducing a chance for a few snow showers for the area, mainly afternoon and evening.

The European Model has a new low developing right at kickoff at 3 p.m. and bringing some snow to the area. On the other hand, the GFS model is calling for a whole lot of nothing! We'll keep an eye on how things develop as we get closer to the weekend.

On Monday, highs will likely stay below freezing under partly cloudy skies. It's looking like another potent push of Arctic air will arrive in the area next week delivering a stretch of several days where our high temperature will not get above freezing. In fact, by Tuesday of next week highs may need exceed the teens.
