Two potential shots of wintry weather this week in Berks County look to be down to mainly one, according to the Wednesday forecast from AccuWeather.
That one shot, an inch or two Wednesday night into Thursday morning, is still on the table, but the weekend storm increasingly appears as if it will stay to the south and give Virginia and the Carolinas a fresh blast of winter.
However, the possibility of 2 to 4 inches of snow tonight into Thursday is close behind the 1-inch to 2-inch forecast, according to AccuWeather.
Further ahead into Friday night and Saturday morning, AccuWeather is allowing for possibly a coating to an inch as the bigger and badder storm passes by to the south.
Expect a high in the low 40s today with a south wind and clouds rolling in during the late afternoon and after dark. Rain showers are likely before midnight, changing to snow showers and continuing Thursday morning, AccuWeather says.
Clouds should dissipate with a harsh north wind, a high in the mid-30s and the mercury plunging to the low teens by daybreak Friday. The ice box is in control Friday with the mercury getting no higher than the low 20s, according to AccuWeather.
Another very cold morning is expected Saturday, again with a low in the low teens.
“Frostbite to exposed skin within 15 minutes,” AccuWeather warns.
The weather should be a couple degrees warmer Saturday with snow flurries and showers expected, more likely to the south, the forecast shows.
The run of subfreezing temperatures is expected to continue into the middle of next week. There have been four such days this month at Reading Regional Airport, the official National Weather Service site in Berks.
Six more are forecast for the rest of the month.
The weather service office in Mount Holly, N.J., said this about Wednesday night’s weather: “If changes to snow occur faster, some snow accumulations may end up higher then the current forecast.”
And for the weekend, still a little wavering: “It should be noted though that there is still some uncertainty with this system and room for it to shift a bit farther north, which would spread accumulating snows into the I-95 corridor and also bring higher snow amounts than currently forecast to southern Delmarva and southern NJ.”
