WEST CHESTER, PA — Good morning, Chester County! If you’re stepping out early today, tread carefully—last night’s freezing rain has left a sneaky layer of black ice lurking on untreated roads. Temperatures are inching above freezing, so conditions should improve by mid-morning, but give yourself a little extra time to scrape, salt, and safely shuffle your way through this slick start. Now, let’s take a look at what the rest of the week has in store—spoiler alert, it’s a winter mix of sun, snow, and some midweek rain madness.
Sunday, February 9, 2025
Today’s forecast brings mostly sunny skies with a high near 41°F. A northwest wind at 10 to 15 mph (with gusts hitting 30 mph) means it might feel a bit sharper out there, so don’t put away those scarves just yet. By tonight, the clouds will thin out, and temperatures will dip to a chilly 23°F as the winds settle down to a light breeze. Winter is sticking around, folks.
Monday, February 10, 2025
Monday greets us with bright, sunny skies and a high near 37°F. Northwest winds at 5 to 10 mph will keep things brisk but manageable. With sunshine gracing the start of the workweek, it’s the perfect day for clearing off the driveway or stepping out for some errands. Monday night, clouds begin to sneak in as temperatures cool down to a low of 22°F. Still calm, but don’t get too comfortable—the week’s about to get interesting!
Tuesday, February 11, 2025
Winter lovers, rejoice! Snow makes its grand entrance on Tuesday afternoon, with accumulations starting to dust the county after 1 p.m. Expect highs near 32°F and winds turning southerly at 5 mph. The snow chances sit at 60%, but we’re only looking at less than an inch of fresh powder by day’s end, so keep your snow shovel handy but don’t cancel your plans just yet. Tuesday night, the snow continues (still at a 60% chance), with lows dropping to 25°F. Layer up and keep that hot cocoa ready!
Wednesday, February 12, 2025
On Wednesday, the snow parade continues with a 50% chance of precipitation during the day. Highs will hover around 34°F, keeping things wintry but manageable. The excitement amps up overnight when snow and sleet make a messy appearance before switching to rain after 4 a.m. A low of 29°F means icy transitions are possible, so plan ahead for potentially slippery roads on Thursday morning.
Thursday, February 13, 2025
Thursday calls for rubber boots and umbrellas—rain takes over with an 80% chance of steady showers through most of the morning. But here’s a twist for you: highs will soar to 48°F, making it feel more like early spring than mid-February. By nighttime, as temperatures drop to 24°F, there’s a chance the rain will mix back with snow before gradually fizzling out. It’s a wild ride, but that’s winter in Chester County!
Friday, February 14, 2025
Cupid brings sunshine for Valentine’s Day with mostly sunny skies and a high of 35°F. If you’re planning any outdoor celebrations or deliveries, it’s shaping up to be cold but clear—just in time for all the flowers, chocolates, and cozy date-night pics. Friday night sinks to a low of 22°F under mostly cloudy skies, so grab your loved ones (or a fluffy blanket) and stay warm.
Saturday, February 15, 2025
The week ends with a chance of rain returning under mostly cloudy skies. Highs near 39°F and a 30% precipitation chance mean it might be time to dust off the waterproof gear yet again. Stay tuned, though—Mother Nature loves changing plans just when you think you’ve got her figured out.
