We’re tracking some snow this morning and the potential of a white Christmas – WFMZ Allentown

TODAY: Cloudy. A Morning Snow Shower and Shower. High: 36.

TONIGHT: Cloudy. Some Fog. Watch For Ice On Roads Where Snow Melted. Low: 28.

MONDAY: Mostly Cloudy. High: 39.

We’re cloudy today as a cold front crosses over us.

The cold front is also bringing a few flurries this morning. A few spots in the mountains will even see some bigger flakes fall from a snow shower, but nothing accumulates. Most of us stay dry all morning.

Everyone is dry this afternoon. But, it’s chilly this afternoon in the 30s. There is no wind chill.

On Monday, there’s still no wind chill, but it is pretty cloudy. In the afternoon, there will be a few peeks of sun, but don’t expect to see much sun. It’ll be sunnier Tuesday afternoon, and it’s mostly sunny on Wednesday.

When we have clearer skies on Tuesday and Wednesday, look for Jupiter in the evening just after sunset. It’ll be the brightest object in the night sky. Right next to it will be Saturn.

Jupiter and Saturn have been getting really close to each other. In fact, they’re so close on Monday that they’d look like one big planet. But, it’ll be too cloudy for us to see that.

We’ll get some more showers and snow showers from those clouds Monday night.

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

Now, on Christmas Eve, everyone gets rain in the afternoon and overnight. At least an inch of rain is on the way, which will help to melt a lot of the snow.

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

One of the future radars we use to forecast wants that rain to switch over to snow Thursday night. If that happens, we’d get a bit more than a dusting of snow and get a White Christmas.

christmas morning american — This future radar wants the rain to end as snow Christmas morning. This is the American future radar.

All the other future radars we use to forecast show just rain. So, plan on rain.

euro fri — This is one of several future radars that show only rain on Christmas.

But, we’ll keep you updated on the potential of a White Christmas all this week on WFMZ, the WFMZ Weather Channel on 69.2, the 69 News Weather App, and right here on WFMZ.com.

If we’re talking about the potential of snow, that means it’s getting pretty chilly on Friday, and that’s true. We’re in the 30s as temperatures drop throughout the day. It’ll be quite a change from Thursday’s 50s!

Both Thursday and Friday will be breezy, but you’ll really notice that wind on Friday because of the wind chill it brings.

The cold air settles in even more for the upcoming weekend. Highs will be near 30, and it’s still windy on Saturday.

Both Saturday and Sunday of the upcoming weekend will be sunny and dry.
