Kids and teachers hoping for a snow day soon....no such luck over the next week. Chances of wintry weather will increase from midmonth on.

After this week's warmup, it's back to pretty typical January weather next week. It does not look as cold as some of the colder stretches we've had so far this winter.

January Snow: a milder pattern will evolve during the first 10-15 days of the month, keeping snow chances lower. The 2nd half of the month has a chance to turn colder and snowier.

Happy New Year! Pretty happy with how our December forecast, issued November 11, turned out. January is likely to be another colder-than-average month, although probably not as far below the average as December and not as cold as last January.

Christmas Day weather has been all over the place in recent years, but this year the day will be pretty uneventful....just somewhat warmer-than-average.

Rain will overspread the area by midday Friday, but temperatures might struggle to get above 32 for a time, especially in western PA. I-80 may be pretty tricky in Mercer County for a while.

Enjoy this relatively mild stretch, as it looks like the arctic hounds will return to close out the year.

We'll have much better-looking days than Tuesday, but at least it will be fairly mild.

Weather will be pretty low-impact through Christmas Day. Friday could be tricky for a few hours during the morning/midday. After a dry Saturday, rain could return Sunday and a changeover to flurries and snow showers could occur by the end of the day.
