Pa. Weather: Snow, slippery roads this morning, here’s the latest forecast update
Snowfall continues across much of the state this morning, including central Pennsylvania.
The forecast from the National Weather Service in State College calls for snow to continue throughout the morning, and that “snow could be heavy at times.”
A total accumulation of between 3-5 inches is expected in the Harrisburg region, though the snow will come mainly before noon.
The winter weather advisory from the National Weather Service warns that drivers should “plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions will impact the morning commute.”
Much of the rest of the state is seeing similar conditions this morning.
A post made on X from the National Weather Service in State College states that “snow has overspread much of central Pa. at 5 AM EST.”
“A small patch of freezing rain may sneak into southern Pa. as the morning continues,” the post warns. “Expect slippery, snow-covered roads. The precipitation will end around 11 a.m. in Altoona, and by 3 p.m. in Lancaster where it may turn to rain.”
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that parts of western Pennsylvania may see between 4 and 8 inches of snow this morning, and as much as 5 inches along the Interstate 80 corridor.
Southwestern Pennsylvania may also see some ice accumulation from freezing rain.
In northwestern Pennsylvania, a winter weather advisory remains in place until 7 p.m. for Erie and Crawford counties.
GoErie.com reports that lake effect snows may add to the projected 1-3 inches already on the way for this morning.
To the southeast, snow will accumulate outside of the Philadelphia suburbs, but the city itself will mostly see rain or a wintry mix this morning, according to Fox 29.
In the northeast, WNEP reports that most areas in the region will receive 2-5 inches, with the higher totals coming at higher elevations.
PennDOT has announced vehicle restrictions for this morning as the inclement weather continues. For details on those restrictions, click here.
A number of school districts in the region have delayed or canceled school for today. You can check your local district’s updates at this link.
