Erie, PA – A Lake Effect Snow Warning remains in effect for Southern Erie and Crawford counties until 1 a.m. Saturday, according to the National Weather Service in Cleveland. The advisory continues as snow bands off Lake Erie persist across northwest Pennsylvania, bringing additional accumulations up to one inch overnight.
Forecasters report that the heaviest snow will continue over southern Erie County and northern to central Crawford County, including areas around Meadville, Corry, and Titusville. While snowfall rates are expected to gradually diminish by early morning, slippery road conditions will likely persist through the overnight hours.
The timing comes as many residents return from Thanksgiving holiday travel, and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation urges caution on highways and rural routes. Motorists are encouraged to delay nonessential travel, reduce speeds, and keep emergency supplies such as food, water, and a flashlight in their vehicles.
