A period of snow is possible during the day on Wednesday with localized amounts over 2 inches possible to the east of the Alleghenies. The snow will begin to mix with sleet and freezing rain Wednesday evening. By early Thursday morning, rain will be the main precipitation type in southwestern PA, while freezing rain and sleet continue to the east. Almost all of the Commonwealth will see at least light ice accumulation, though the highest amounts are expected across the Laurel Highlands where a quarter to half of an inch of ice will be possible. Elsewhere, ice accumulations will be less than two tenths of an inch. Gusty winds on Thursday may knock down ice covered tree branches and power lines which could lead to power outages. As temperatures begin to rise on Thursday, any lingering precipitation will largely fall as rain. Temperatures will climb into the 40s on Thursday afternoon, helping melt any remaining ice accumulation. Another storm may impact the Commonwealth this weekend with another round of mixed precipitation. $$
