This storm is already creating surprises for many. Areas that were only expecting a coating to 1 inch to our Southeast, are now receiving up to several inches of snow!
Here is a look at the current radar as of 2:30 PM. Anywhere in that red-outlined area will see between 2 to 5 inches of snowfall. This will be an over-performing event for those areas in terms of snowfall.
More importantly, the threat of a Major Ice Storm is growing for the areas outlined below. Take a look at the future radar for Midnight:
The outlined areas have the best chance of receiving over a quarter inch of ice. As much as a half inch is possible. Take a look at the graphic below. Many of us will fall between level 1 and level 2 where scattered power outages and dangerous travel is likely.
By Mid-Morning Tuesday Morning, many of us should turn to plain rain. But the latest guidance keeps prolonging the Wintry Mix.
Below is our latest forecast regarding ice accretion across the area, which will cause significant travel impacts tonight into tomorrow.
Josh has been passionate about weather as long as his memory dates! From watching the Weather Channel at age 7, to making hand-drawn hurricane maps at age 11, starting his first weather site at 13, and founding PWA at 15 and forecasting for the state for the past 9 years, Josh's interest in weather has never dwindled! As difficult as it is, he greatly enjoys forecasting for Pennsylvania due to its countless microclimates. The state is an East Coast severe weather hotspot and nearly always home to the rain/snow line during winter storms!
