Roads are wet but not icy — yet.
Rain continues into early afternoon before tapering to scattered showers. According to the National Weather Service in State College, temperatures will climb to around 51 degrees today before colder air filters in tonight. Rainfall amounts stay under a tenth of an inch.
Drivers along I-80 and I-99 should expect slick pavement during heavier showers. Gusts could reach 25 mph later today, adding to travel concerns on exposed stretches.
Tonight turns partly cloudy with lows near 34. Saturday stays mostly cloudy with a high near 42. A chance of snow develops late Saturday night as temperatures dip to around 30.
Sunday is the headline. Snow becomes likely after 1 p.m., possibly mixing with rain at times, with highs near 37. New snow accumulation between 1 and 3 inches is possible by Sunday night. Snow continues into early Monday before tapering.
Plan ahead for reduced visibility and snow-covered roads Sunday afternoon and evening.
This is prime February flash-freeze territory. Any slushy melt during daylight could refreeze quickly after sunset.
