The threat of ICE that we have mentioned yesterday is still growing on Friday. As of this afternoon the Euro model is now starting to trend colder. Both the GFS and Euro are showing a major ice event for locations to our west.
Friday afternoon could be a icy mess if these were to verify. Also Friday afternoon we will see big drop in temps creating a flash freeze where any wet surfaces could turn to black ice later Friday afternoon/evening. Even if you do not change over to the ZR on Friday, you will see ice develop as temps crash.
Here is this afternoons EURO and GFS Model.
We are following this very carefully and will keep you updated as we get closer.
Today we will have even warmer temps.
Wednesday
Mostly cloudy, with a high near 43. Calm wind.
Wednesday Night
A slight chance of rain after 4am. Patchy fog after 1am. Otherwise, cloudy, with a low around 33
This week we will see temps hit around 50º BUT a wintery mix/ice event might follow these warmer temps.
While I usually don’t like to talk about a system 5 days out, but I want to put it out that some could from the central plains to the north east could see a ice storm event. While we are not sure of who will see what around here. Models are hinting that ice/freezing rain could make its way towards the Philadelphia area. Anytime I have to mention ICE it scares me as this is no joke. I am hoping this system gets colder faster or stays warm and we are in rain or just snow, but NO ICE.
The GFS paints a icy picture but after the GFS did not do well with our storm last week, I am hoping it stays the same and we do not see this happen. Now the 18z which is pictured below is slightly north from the 12z runs.
Timing: Wed. we could see some freezing fog, then Rain on Thursday. Then a winter mix on Friday that could bring snow and a mix to the area.
Again this is in no way a forecast, I want to get the word out of a possible ICE event later in the week. This would cause major issues.
If you plan to use a fireplace or wood stove for emergency heating, have your chimney or flue inspected each year. Ask your local fire department to recommend an inspector or find one online.Featured Resource
If you or a loved one are over 65 years old, place an easy-to-read thermometer in an indoor location where you will see it frequently. Our ability to feel a change in temperature decreases with age. Older adults are more susceptible to health problems caused by cold. Check the temperature of your home often during the winter months.
It is best to avoid traveling, but if travel is necessary
