East Central PA Weather Talk

Special Weather Statement from the National Weather Service.... Bands of sleet, rain, freezing rain, and snow will continue to develop and lift northward into south central Pennsylvania this evening. While temperatures across the lower elevations were at or just above freezing, the precipitation may come down hard enough at times to result in icy spots.  As the bands of precipitation lift further north this evening, the precipitation will be more in the form of snow. This will be especially the case north of Route 22. Persons traveling this evening should be alert for a wide range of conditions and allow extra travel time.
