Daily Forecast for Wednesday, January 23rd, 2019

Steady rain is expected across Western Pennsylvania today, especially after lunchtime. There is the potential for brief freezing rain at the onset of the precipitation for our north-central counties. However, we really do not anticipate any travel issues. Scattered rain showers are expected across Eastern Pennsylvania today. During the overnight hours tonight, rain will be steady state-wide. As the system pulls away early Thursday morning, it is possible Western Pennsylvania transitions to a period of wet snow. The potential of a coating to 2 inches is possible Thursday morning for the areas that do changeover across our western counties.
