Winter storm warning issued for all of Centre County. How much snow will we get?
Despite unseasonably warm temperatures Saturday, snow is still again on its way to Centre County.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning Monday that will stretch from midnight through 11 a.m. Tuesday. Forecasts are calling for total snowfall of 5 to 9 inches in portions of central Pennsylvania during that time.
After a winter storm watch was issued over the weekend, all of Centre County is now included in the winter storm warning, plus Altoona, Johnstown and much of north-central Pennsylvania. According to the NWS advisory, snow could be heavy at times with wind gusts north of 20 mph Monday night heading into Tuesday.
A storm will bring rain in from the south this evening. It will turn to snow through the night, and likely produce intense snowfall rates of 1"/hr or greater right during the morning commute. See the progression of precipitation in this animation. pic.twitter.com/xGvh3YxpNp
