Winter storm approaching central Pa., significant snow possible Tuesday
Central Pennsylvania will enjoy a dry Saturday with temperatures in the 30s to near 40 degrees before winter weather returns. A quick-hitting system will bring snow to northern areas and a wintry mix to southern regions late tonight into Sunday.
The National Weather Service in State College indicates Saturday will remain dry with high temperatures ranging from the low 30s in northwestern mountains to near 40 degrees south and east of the I-80/I-99 corridor. Light winds and some sunshine make today ideal for outdoor holiday decorations before conditions deteriorate.
Snow will develop after dark tonight across western Pennsylvania, spreading eastward overnight. Areas north of I-80 could see up to three inches of accumulation by Sunday afternoon, with the heaviest amounts expected in northwestern counties. Southern regions will likely experience a wintry mix changing to rain Sunday as temperatures warm. Gusty west winds of 25 to 35 mph will develop Sunday afternoon.
Monday should be dry before a more significant winter storm approaches the region. The Weather Service warns that a potentially impactful winter storm is expected Tuesday into Wednesday, with plowable snow amounts likely across most of central Pennsylvania. Northeast portions of the state face the highest probability of receiving more than six inches of snow.
Forecasters recommend monitoring updates closely, especially for those with travel plans Tuesday and Wednesday, as winter storm watches may be issued in the coming days if confidence in heavy snow increases.
Below normal temperatures will persist through early December, with lows possibly dropping into the teens or single digits later in the week as the active storm pattern continues.

Pennsylvania artists creates painting for fallen IRCSO deputy
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, Fla. — A Pennsylvania artist is honoring Sgt. Terri Sweeting-Mashkow, through a moving tribute — a powerful painting inspired by her service and sacrifice.
Jonny Castro created the piece, and he is a police officer and forensic composite artist based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania artists creates painting for fallen IRCSO deputy
Castro has created more than 2,000 portraits of fallen first responders, and his most recent is Sgt. Sweeting-Mashkow’s.
“What makes it so special is just the fact that she was given that sergeant rank for giving her life in the line of duty,” said Castro. “Her selfless service and her heroism.”
Sgt. Sweeting Mashkow was shot and killed Friday while serving an eviction notice in the Bermuda Club Community off A1A. Castro ties in his roles as a police officer and forensic composite artist into his work.
“You’re constantly working, constantly drawing facial features, so about 10 years ago, coming up on 10 years, I did my first one and everybody seemed to enjoy it,” said Castro.
He said after learning about Sgt. Sweeting Mashkow’s tragedy, he was deeply moved. He learned about it on social media and immediately began sketching.
“It’s sad to think that she was on the job for 25 years,” said Castro.
He also created a portrait for the three fallen Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputies last year.
“What do you hope loved ones say or feel when they see this portrait that you created?” asked WPTV’s Zitlali Solache.
“I hope they know there are people like me all the way up in Pennsylvania and as far west as California that are praying for her family and wishing them the best during this tragic time — especially around the holidays,’ replied Castro.
The goal is for the art to be a piece that the family holds dearly. Castro said he will also begin sketching David Long’s piece on Tuesday. Long is the locksmith also involved in the fatal eviction call.
“I think that’s what makes it special, just because she doesn’t have any photos. She will never have a photo as a sergeant,’ said Castro. “This may be the only one, so I just hope to know the family enjoys it and they hang it proud on their wall.”
Castro says he will be in touch with Sheriff Eric Flowers to ship the painting over.
