...AN ENVIRONMENT POTENTIALLY CONDUCIVE FOR SNOW SQUALLS WILL EXIST THIS MORNING OVER PARTS OF NORTHWEST AND CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA... A reinforcing shot of cold air moving in this morning will help to generate a line of heavier snow showers and possibly some embedded, dangerous snow squalls. Visibility restrictions to a half-mile or less, a quick coating of snow on roadways, and brief wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph are expected to accompany many of these heavier snow showers. Depending on exact air and road surface temperatures, as well as the longevity of the snow, flash freeze conditions might develop (a quick transition from wet to icy road surfaces). If this combination of factors (poor visibility, gusty winds, and flash freeze conditions) do develop at one time, then a Snow Squall Warning would be issued for the affected area. A line of heavier snow showers and possible snow squalls is expected to affect the following locations at approximately the reference times: * Warren and Tidioute from about 8 to 9 am * Bradford, Ridgway, St. Mary's, Dubois, Johnstown, and Seven Springs from about 9 to 10 am * Coudersport, Emporium, Clearfield, Altoona, and Bedford from about 10 to 11 am * Renovo, State College, Huntingdon, and Breezewood from about 11 am to 12 noon Use extra caution if you must travel into a snow squall, slow down and consider exiting the highway. Rapid changes in visibility and potentially slick roads may lead to accidents. Please use extreme caution and allow plenty of stopping distance. Avoid braking suddenly.
