Snow is predicted in Warren County, northwest Pennsylvania, beginning Wednesday, with the National Weather Service issuing a Winter Weather Advisory that will last until early Friday.
The National Weather Service at State College has issued an advisory from 11 a.m. Wednesday until 1 a.m. EST Friday. Forecasters predict a total snowfall accumulation of 2 to 4 inches, with locally greater amounts likely if snow showers linger for an extended period.
While snowfall totals are not forecast to be extreme, the event’s duration may cause frequent travel disruptions, particularly during the Wednesday evening and Thursday morning commutes. Roads, bridges, and overpasses may become slick, especially during periods of consistent snowfall or overnight when temperatures plummet.
The National Weather Service recommends motorists to slow down and exercise caution when driving, stressing that even light to moderate snowfall can quickly create hazardous driving conditions. Untreated surfaces may become slippery, increasing the likelihood of an accident.
Residents are reminded to check local road conditions before going by dialing 511, which offers the most recent information for Pennsylvania highways. Those with flexible travel plans may want to leave extra time or postpone trips during peak snowfall periods.
This system may also affect students, early-morning workers, and rural commuters, as minor roads may take longer to clear. While there is high confidence that snow will fall, specific totals may vary depending on snow band placement and surface temperatures.
Additional updates or changes to the advisory are possible as the system progresses through midweek. Residents should continue to follow National Weather Service forecasts for up-to-date information.
