Light rain and 39.

Elliott's thoughts: After one of the warmest first 18 days of #January on record, two storm systems bear watching for the first winter-weather threats of the month in south-central PA. The first comes Sunday afternoon through Monday morning w/the second slated for the middle of next week.. The exact track of each system will be critical in determining precip types, but the odds favor both being "snow-to-rain" or "plain rain" events in Lancaster County. With no high-latitude blocking in place, both systems will move quickly, limiting how much precip can fall.. Areas north of I-76 and west of I-81 have a better chance of receiving a slushy accumulation of snow from one or both systems, but it's too early to start discussing potential amounts. Any N/W shift in the storms' tracks would mean even less snow.. or thwart snow entirely..

Good news is he finished with a make. So with your logic, we're going to score.

Icon, GFS, and now the Canadian send the storm on the 25th on a path that will make Iowans happy. That system looks like it's going to really wind up - if so, that might be what we need to shuffle the deck.

GFS continues the trend of a weaker system...I just don't think that weaker cuts it with marginal temps.

Agreed - just posting what it was showing.

ICON sends the system on the 25th right up through... Indianapolis.

ICON is slower as well - precip doesn't move in until after dark.

CTP won't update the weekend until this afternoon's package. They'll finesse today's rain over the next several hours and will then turn their attention to the weekend thereafter.

NAM with a much colder thermal profile allowing snow to fall well south of any other model at this time.

Snow/rain line rides I95/Delaware River from DC and points north.

Hard to believe that this thread is actually one of the most optimistic ones around right now. The overall mood in other regions is glum. And that's putting it nicely. We need a Miller A to swing up out of the Gulf and lay down a long stripe of white gold for the entire east coast.

It kind of hit me this morning walking across campus while getting soaked - I'm at 1.25" of snow for the season on 1/19. The first 1" of that fell and then melted all while I was at work one day. Bottom line, I haven't seen anything beyond a heavy dusting for the season. The upcoming week or 2 holds some promise...but for us in Lanco especially, it's been really bad. If you remove the few bitter days around Christmas it's really been an extended fall that hasn't ended.

38 with light rain. Doubt it will get much above 40 today - raw outside for sure.

It's not just the NWS either - I've yet to see or hear a forecast for Lanco that even mentions snow for the Sunday event. I see nothing but rain with temps in the low 40s during the day dropping to the mid 30s Sunday night. I would guess that today would be the day that changes in the forecast might happen?

Welcome to Central PA Maestro! We're sure to have a symphony of storms that will be music to our ears.

I don't know if I'm to give you the laughing or thanks emoji.

Low made it as far north as the Ohio River - a little too far north for the southern tier. A shunt just a little farther south would have made almost all of us happy. (2nd storm)

At 162 pretty much everyone outside of Lanco is getting hammered:

At 150 I'm not liking what it's selling...

I might have to take a Flyer on this run.
