This weather feature will combine with upper level low pressure tracking east across the region to bring widespread wet snow of varying intensity in the Valleys with periods of moderate to heavy snow across the Mountains North and East of Williamsport and similarly across the Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania. Snowfall amounts across the bulk of Central PA will range from 1 to 3 inches, with heavy amounts in excess of 8 inches falling across the higher terrain of North-central and Southwestern PA. The weight of the heavier snow amounts could cause downed trees and power outages. A period of wet snow will be possible in valley locations of Southern Pennsylvania this Friday morning before transitioning back to rain or a rain/wet snow mix during the afternoon hours. Temperatures to start the day will vary from the mid 20s across the Laurel Highlands to the mid 30s over the greater Philadelphia area. High temperatures today will range from the mid-30s across the Endless Mountains to the mid-40s near Lake Erie. Precipitation will taper off this weekend, as the previously mentioned storm moves away from the area. However, temperatures will remain chilly, with highs remaining mostly in the 30s and 40s. $$ Lambert
