Special Weather Statement | Pennsylvania Weather 6 AM

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Pennsylvania Weather Podcast. It's Wednesday, February 25th. Folks, grab your coffee and your patience. A clipper system is sliding through right now, dropping snow during your morning commute. Timing couldn't be worse. Down in Southeast PA, snow falls from 5 A.M. through 11 A.M. The heaviest burst hits right around 7 A.M. Less than an inch total, but that's enough to make roads greasy. Temperatures start at 31 degrees around 5 A.M. South winds shift southwest around 7 A.M., gusting to 25 miles an hour. The good news? You'll hit 45 degrees by 4 P.M. Snow melts fast. Now push west. Western PA gets a quick snow chance around 5 A.M. The higher terrain is under a Winter Weather Advisory until 1 P.M.. Two to four inches up there. That wind chill bites early, but highs reach 46 degrees around 2 P.M. Winds gust to 15 miles an hour around noon, then swing from southwest to west around 1 P.M. Central PA splits the difference. Snow wraps up by 7 A.M. Winds shift south to southwest around 9 A.M. Then partly sunny skies carry you to a high of 48 degrees by 4 P.M. Not bad at all. Tonight clears out everywhere. Lows settle to 24 degrees out west. Central PA dips to 29. Southeast holds at 31. Thursday gets messy again. Rain and snow mixing, mainly south. Highs in the low 40s. But here's where it gets good. Friday and Saturday? Sunshine and fifties. We're gaining two minutes of daylight every day now. Spring equinox is three weeks out. Early next week though.. Another system could sneak in with wintry weather. We'll keep an eye on it. If you're driving this morning, slow down through those snow squalls. They're quick but sneaky. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay warm out there!
