Special Weather Statement issued March 17 at 11:07AM EDT by NWS State College PA
Cold air moving in will help to generate scattered to numerous snow
showers and possibly some dangerous snow squalls today across
Central Pennsylvania. West to east oriented bands of snow showers
will increase in coverage amidst partly to mostly cloudy skies.
Road surface temperatures will soar into the 40s and 50s while
air temperatures remain below freezing.
Snowfall accumulations of a coating to 2 inches are possible
across the area as a result of these snow showers. More persistent
bands of snow may initially melt on contact with warm roads and
then freeze, resulting in icy conditions. In the event that a
flash freeze becomes likely, Snow Squall Warnings will be issued
to message the reduced traction and blinding visibility of a snow
squall, which can make travel very dangerous very quickly.
Be alert for changing conditions today if you are traveling.
Partly cloudy skies can give way to significantly reduced
visibility very quickly. If a Snow Squall Warning is issued,
delay travel or exit the highway at the next opportunity. Rapid
changes in visibility and potentially slick roads may lead to
accidents. Please use extreme caution and allow plenty of stopping
distance. Avoid braking suddenly.
