Once the area is past its potential for morning frost, AccuWeather said western Montgomery County residents should plan Monday for wet weather. A rainstorm-bearing Nor'Easter is headed this way
The National Weather Service predicted western Montgomery County would be hit Saturday by 4-6 inches of heavy snow, and winds gusting to 45 mph through early Sunday. Avoid traveling, it warned.
AccuWeather's long-range forecasters issued an update Tuesday to their spring outlook for the Northeastern U.S., first released on Groundhog Day. It includes a tale of two Pennsylvanias.
High temperatures were expected to reach the low-50s Tuesday afternoon. For meteorologists, that served as the first day of spring. Most of us contend the season will arrive 19 days later. What's the diff?
Thursday afternoon into Friday night will be a potentially hazardous time for travel in Montgomery and Chester counties, weather forecasters said. Icy wintry mix conditions and low-30s temperatures will make roads slick.
Snowfall totals in portions of Montgomery, Berks and Chester counties, tallied Saturday night by the National Weather Service, might surprise you. With the storm ended, speed restrictions on U.S. Routes 422 and 202 were lifted.
With temperatures much lower than usual, snow predicted to fall through Saturday afternoon should be light and fluffy. Accompanying winds, gusting up to 40 mph, may be more worrisome, the National Weather Service indicated Friday.
Nothing's definite yet, but computer maps displayed Tuesday by AccuWeather in State College show a possibility of local rain-to-snow-showers Wednesday through Thursday, and snow Friday through Saturday.
