This afternoon, lake-enhanced snow showers will continue to affect the area, causing a light layer of snow and occasionally visibility below 0.5 miles. According to the weather service, winds of more than 30 mph are possible.
The alert affects the following locations: Franklin, Punxsutawney, Clarion, Vandergrift, Sharpsville, Kittanning, Brookville, Marienville, Homer City, Apollo, Knox, Rimersburg, Harrison Township, Butler, Oil City, Grove City, Hermitage, Sharon, Indiana, and New Castle. The following highways are included in this: Pennsylvania Between mile marks 1 and 11, turnpike. Pennsylvania’s Interstate 79 between mile marks 84 and 138. Pennsylvania’s Interstate 376 between mile markers 0 and 26 and Interstate 80 between mile markers 0 and 96. If you have to drive into or through this heavy snowfall, go with additional caution. Accidents are likely to occur due to slick roads and abrupt changes in visibility. Think about postponing your trip until the squall passes by. Because snow melts on roads and then swiftly refreezes, conditions can quickly deteriorate throughout winter, potentially leading to icy roads. Be ready for roads covered with ice or snow. When traveling, slow down and give yourself more time.
