ALERT: Snow continues, winds strengthen across south-central Pennsylvania
Alright, so we still have the snow, but it is winding down in many spots. You can already see some breaks in the radar, and although the snow is still falling, it’s fairly light, so it’s not going to do much to add to additional accumulation or cause too much travel trouble this morning, especially if roads are salted. They’re going to be in good shape because look at the temperatures. We’re right around freezing, so that does bode well for us. Later today as we get into the upper 30s, and although it will stay cloudy, the road should be just wet later this morning into the afternoon if you need to head out then. Here’s *** look at your feels like temperatures. Winds are starting to pick up, so this is going to come into play today. Feels like the low 20s now, and it will continue to feel like the 20s this afternoon. So as the snow continues to fall and we Still pulling away from the storm. I’ll keep an alert for you this morning, especially since road conditions are still dicey in some spots. But later today, the impact is for the wind. We could have some gusts 35 to 40 MPH, which could blow down some branches, especially because they’re so heavy and wet, and cause some isolated power outages. So we’ll keep you updated on those changes coming up.
