Light Snow & Ice Likely Tuesday Before Rainy Wednesday

        Although this storm will be primarily rain in our area, parts of Michigan and Indiana are in-store for over a foot of heavy wet snow. We will escape the majority of impacts, however light snow and freezing rain Tuesday could make travel slippery especially considering not many people will be prepared.

        Light snow from a coastal system will move into the state from south to north Tuesday Morning and Afternoon. However, snow will only last about 2 to 4 hours before changing over to rain. There is the potential for cold air damming to provide a few more hours of freezing temperatures at the surface in parts of PA, bringing the possibility of a glaze of ice. Also, we expect higher elevations to hang onto the snow for around 4-6 hours with anywhere from one to three inches of snow expected.

        By Wednesday rain will move into the area, washing away any snow that does fall. We expect around an inch of rainfall state-wide. There is even the threat of severe thunderstorms as close as Maryland!

        We will be “now-casting” on our facebook page as well as keeping you informed on upcoming weather threats as winter is not going anywhere for at least another three weeks.
