Ice isn’t Nice

Over the past day, we’ve experienced a temperature drop across central Pennsylvania. Going from low 50’s all the way down to below freezing temperatures today. Along with the warmer weather, conditions have been dry, however that is set to change in our near future. Say goodbye to the warm temperatures we experienced at the start of the week.

Over the next 24 hours, cold and icy conditions are on the way. A low pressure system moves in, along with it a winter storm that will drop enough precipitation to create a significant ice threat. Driving Wednesday evening and early Thursday morning will have extra difficulty. The low temperatures combined with the precipitation will make for a less than ideal day for most. Stay weather aware as you go about your day on Thursday and make sure you have the proper winter clothing and accessories.

Now for a look at the future at the weekend and beyond. A respite after this upcoming system will not raise temperatures to what they were at the beginning of this week. Conditions will be mostly sunny through the end of the week. The weekend will see the return of wintry mixes, with Saturday being the next chance for State College to see a rain and snow mix that continues into Saturday night. The Saturday system will eventually give way to cold yet party sunny conditions for Sunday.
