Pennsylvania Weather: Snow is likely on the way Friday

Snow is likely on the way Friday, meaning more messy roads and cancellations are on the way. 

Residents across Pennsylvania are waking up to frigid temperatures and the aftermath of a significant snowfall, with 2-5 inches blanketing the region from Monday into Tuesday morning. As Wednesday unfolds, the cold intensifies, bringing wind chills as low as -20, making it essential to bundle up and take precautions against the severe chill.

Wednesday daytime temperatures are expected to hover around 0 degrees, offering little relief from the biting cold. In a rare occurrence reminiscent of February 2021, snow cover is likely to persist due to the unyielding freeze. Thursday's forecast predicts temperatures to remain below freezing across most areas, with only the Mason-Dixon Line in the valleys seeing slightly higher temperatures.

Looking ahead to Friday, another round of snowfall is on the horizon. When measuring snow accumulation, especially on Friday, it is advised to do so on previously cleared surfaces, as temperatures are anticipated to stay well below freezing. This means untreated surfaces, and even some treated ones, will readily accumulate snow. The recent snowfall demonstrated how treated surfaces can become snow-covered easily.

Snowfall is expected to commence early Friday morning, progressing from west to east and continuing through the morning. The intensity is anticipated to decrease from west to east in the late afternoon through mid-evening. Current model guidance suggests the potential for school and business cancellations on Friday due to the challenging weather conditions.

Forecast Breakdown:

  • Area A: There is potential for moderate snowfall accumulation on Friday, with temperatures ranging from the mid to high 20s. Snow-covered roadways are likely if snow falls.

  • Area B: Anticipate the potential for light snowfall accumulation on Friday, with temperatures in the low 20s. Snow-covered roadways are almost certain if snow falls.

While this forecast outlines possibilities three days in advance, it's crucial to stay updated as conditions may evolve. Keep an eye out for the First Call Snowfall Forecast, scheduled to be posted on Wednesday. Share this forecast with friends and family to ensure everyone is prepared for the challenges posed by the upcoming weather, with the potential for more cancellations on Friday. Stay warm and stay safe!
