* WHAT...West winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 50 mph
expected.
* WHERE...Portions of Central Pennsylvania including the
Susquehanna Valley.
* WHEN...From 8 AM this morning to 5 PM EST this afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects.
Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may
result.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Accompanying the first several hours of
these strong, gusty winds will be one or more broken lines of
snow showers and brief heavy snow squalls that could generate
near whiteout conditions and coat the ground with between one
half inch and one inch of snow in less than 30 minutes
Use extra caution when driving, especially if operating a high
profile vehicle. Secure outdoor objects.
If you are traveling and see objects in the distance being
obscured by heavy snow within the dangerous snow squalls, take
quick action to pull off the road in a safe location, such as a
parking lot or driveway to wait out the squall.
If you are on an interstate, it's best to get off the road at the
nearest exit as soon as you notice the squall to ensure the
safety of you and your passengers. If there isn't an opportunity
to safely exit the Interstate, slow down gradually before entering
the squall and put on your hazard lights.
