Warren, PA – The National Weather Service in State College has issued a Winter Storm Watch for Warren County, in effect from Monday evening through Tuesday afternoon, as a lake-effect snow event is expected to bring heavy accumulations and difficult travel conditions.
Forecasters say the area could receive 6 inches or more of snow, with light accumulations of 1 to 3 inches possible by sunset Monday before heavier snow develops Monday night into Tuesday. The heaviest snowfall is anticipated overnight, potentially affecting both Tuesday morning and evening commutes.
Travelers should prepare for slippery roads, reduced visibility, and rapidly changing conditions, especially along US-6 and Route 62. Lake-effect snow can vary dramatically across short distances, with heavy bands producing near whiteouts while nearby areas remain mostly dry.
Residents are advised to monitor local forecasts and prepare for possible winter weather advisories or warnings as the system strengthens. Officials recommend keeping emergency supplies in vehicles and allowing extra travel time during commutes.
