Nothing’s certain yet, but an emerging weather system could bring a foot of snow — or more — to central Pennsylvania late Tuesday and Wednesday.
‘It’s not one of these things that are going to be hitting for just six hours and then moving on,’ said Alex Sosnowski, a senior expert meteorologist at AccuWeather.com. ‘This will be a more sizable snowstorm.’
On Friday, Sosnowski said, computer models seemed to agree that the weather system will probably track up the East Coast — likely socking the State College area with heavy snow in the process.
‘People are going to have to keep tabs on this thing,’ Sosnowski said. He said there’s a good chance of major travel disruptions across parts of Pennsylvania, not to mention school closings.
In the meantime, central Pennsylvania is facing its coldest weekend so far this winter, according to AccuWeather.com. State College’s anticipated high for Saturday is just 17 degrees; for Sunday, it’s the same.
Temperatures are expected to return to the mid-20s by Tuesday.
