On theme with what we have already experienced this week, more snowfall is now expected across a greater portion of Pennsylvania tonight. Ironically, this time the trend is north which is what we always expect! And it’s why the massive south shift with the storm to start this week caught everyone off guard!
Snowfall rates will generally be a half-inch to an inch per hour tonight, however areas south of I-76 may exceed an inch per hour in the early morning hours of Saturday. No concerns of mixing with rain with this one, and snow will by fluffier than Monday. However, roads will still be a mess Saturday morning as they become covered.
