OUR SECOND CALL FORECAST HAS BEEN POSTED…CLICK HERE TO VIEW
Winter is wrapping up and without the blizzard it would’ve been one of the least snowiest winters in history for the state. With well above average temperatures next week and beyond, what could be the last winter storm of the season is likely Thursday Night into Friday. It will be a fairly simple storm and we don’t expect too much to change between now and Thursday Afternoon as far as our overall expectations.
A low pressure system will move just south of Pennsylvania before transferring a portion of its energy to a coastal system in the Carolinas. Although we don’t expect the coastal storm to move northeast and make this a huge event, light to moderate snow accumulations will be likely.
By the middle part of Thursday Afternoon we expect snow to move into Western PA, and by the evening it will make its way into Central PA. Just after 12 AM Friday is when Eastern PA will begin to see snow. The heaviest snowfall looks to be Thursday Night into Mid-Friday Morning as the sun angle will not be able to make a big impact. This will lead to snow-covered roadways Friday Morning which will lead to travel disruptions.
A general 2-5″ of snow is likely across nearly all of Pennsylvania with a coating to two inches in far southwestern and northeast parts of the state. If this news seems new to you, by Wednesday all other weather outlets will be all over it but you heard it here first.
Our Second Call will be released Wednesday Afternoon but once again 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.
