WEST CHESTER, PA — Good morning, Chester County! Buckle up for yet another rollercoaster week of winter weather. From a light sprinkle of snow to a midweek storm blast and a surprising warm-up thrown in the mix, there’s something in store for everyone. Whether you’re a winter fanatic or just trying to keep your plans from being derailed, here’s your detailed day-by-day guide to staying on top of whatever Mother Nature sends our way.
Sunday, February 2, 2025
Today kicks off with mostly cloudy skies and a slight chance of snow showers after 4 p.m. Don’t expect much—just a 20% chance to see a few flakes fluttering down. Temperatures will peak at a chilly 34°F, but an east wind at 5 to 10 mph will give the air an extra bite. By afternoon, the wind shifts southeast, which might make your cheeks a little less frosty. Tonight brings a 30% chance of snow and sleet early on, mostly between 9 and 11 p.m. With a low of 30°F and just a dusting (less than half an inch), it’s more of a sprinkling than a snowstorm.
Monday, February 3, 2025
Ah, Monday—a perfect day to start thawing out, as the sunshine makes a welcome appearance. Temperatures climb to a downright pleasant 51°F, a breath of fresh air after freezing conditions. Winds will stay calm before turning southerly at around 5 mph, making it a great day for running errands or taking a brisk walk without layers upon layers. Monday night stays mild with mostly cloudy skies and a low of 41°F, so enjoy a rare break from the biting cold.
Tuesday, February 4, 2025
The pattern holds steady on Tuesday with mostly sunny skies and a high near 50°F—yes, two days in a row of warmth! That’s practically tropical by February standards. Northwest winds pick up, though, ranging from 5 to 15 mph, adding a cool touch to the otherwise balmy day. Nighttime temps will drop back to more typical winter conditions with a low of 28°F and mostly cloudy skies settling back in like your least favorite houseguest.
Wednesday, February 5, 2025
The midweek calm breaks with a 50% chance of snow on Wednesday. Clouds will dominate the sky as daytime highs hover around a chilly 35°F. Keep those shovels and boots handy—something’s brewing. With temperatures just below freezing, snowflakes may pile up enough to make you reconsider that morning commute.
By Wednesday night, things get dicey. A potent mix of rain, snow, freezing rain, and sleet (a meteorologist’s buffet) is expected before 1 a.m., followed by a blend of rain and freezing rain. The low will hover near 30°F, so expect some slick and treacherous conditions. This is your cue to stockpile ice melt and stay off the roads after dark unless absolutely necessary.
Thursday, February 6, 2025
Thursday doesn’t hold back. Rain will persist through the morning, with an 80% chance of showers keeping the streets wet and windshield wipers busy. But here’s the twist—temperatures will spike to 50°F during the day. It’s almost as if winter itself can’t decide what season we’re in. The rain tapers off after 1 p.m., giving way to mostly cloudy skies for the latter half of the day. Overnight, temperatures drop to a low of 31°F, with only a slight chance (30%) of lingering rain.
Friday, February 7, 2025
Friday brings a delightful return to sunny skies and dry weather. Highs settle near 42°F, a fair trade for a quiet day after the midweek chaos. Nighttime cools down to 25°F with mostly cloudy skies, prepping us for another weather twist heading into Saturday.
Saturday, February 8, 2025
Another weekend, another curveball! There’s a 50% chance of both rain and snow as we close out the week. With a high near 40°F, it’s anyone’s guess which will take center stage—or if both will coexist in a slushy showdown. Clouds dominate the skies, so keep an eye on those forecasts (after all, we wouldn’t want you caught unprepared).
Tips for the Week
- Prepare for everything: From snow showers to surefire rain and a warm spell midweek, this week has it all. Layer up for the cold early in the week, and swap out the parka for a lighter coat on Monday and Tuesday.
- Stay cautious midweek: Wednesday night could make for treacherous travel with freezing rain and sleet in the cards. Keep sidewalks salted, and if you must drive, proceed carefully.
- Don’t pack up winter gear yet: Though early-week temps might tempt you to dream of spring, the weekend proves winter isn’t going anywhere just yet.
This week is shaping up to be a classic Pennsylvania winter dance—bright moments, cold spells, and some messy surprises to keep you on your toes. Stay tuned, Chester County, keep warm, and may your snow boots always be nearby!
