As many of you may have heard by now, we are expecting some snowfall Thursday Evening into Friday Morning across the area. Many wondered how, considering on Tuesday it was 60, but the magic of a cold front is upon us. Here is the timing and details.

        Snow will move into Western PA late Thursday Afternoon and by mid-evening it will begin to reach many locations throughout Central PA. It will then reach Eastern PA after midnight. The snow will be light to moderate in rate as it falls but with the ground refreezing and the majority of snowfall occurring at night, we do expect deteriorated road conditions Friday Morning.

        By mid-morning Friday the snow will begin to exit Western PA, still persisting in Central and Eastern Pennsylvania. Just before noon, snow will begin to move out of Central PA and by mid-afternoon Eastern PA should be done. This will not be a major storm in any way, but as stated it will still impact travel Friday.

        Anywhere from <1 – 2″ of snow is likely in many areas across the northern two-thirds of the state with 2-4″ of snowfall in the majority of Southern PA. By next week, this will all be a memory and temperatures in the 60s will start to breakout.

        Our Final Call will be released Thursday Morning but we don’t expect to be making any big changes.  Be sure to like us on facebook if you have yet to! >>> PA Weather Action facebook page. Stay safe everyone.

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!
