Weather Alert for Central PA: Rain, Winds, and Snow Expected
If you’re living in Central PA, it’s time to brace yourself for some serious weather changes. The Blair County Department of Emergency Services and the National Weather Service have issued a weather alert for Sunday, December 10th. The day is expected to see widespread rain, some of which could be heavy, followed by breezy winds and a rapid cooldown into the night.
What’s Expected?
Widespread Rain: All of Central PA can expect rainfall ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 inches throughout Sunday and into Sunday night. So, make sure you have your umbrellas and raincoats ready.
Breezy and Gusty Winds: As the day progresses, the south winds will turn northwest as colder air moves in. The winds could also get gusty, so you might want to secure any loose items in your yard.
Rapid Cooldown: After the rain and wind, a rapid temperature drop is expected for Sunday night. This could potentially lead to slick spots on the road by Monday morning, so be prepared for a slippery commute.
Plowable Snow: And if all that wasn’t enough, there’s also a possibility of plowable snow on Monday morning. This could lead to slick roads, making the morning commute even more challenging.
Stay Safe and Prepared
With the weather expected to take a turn for the worse, it’s crucial to stay prepared. Keep an eye on the weather updates, make sure your home is ready for the storm, and plan your commutes accordingly. If the roads are slick, consider working from home or leaving early to avoid rush-hour traffic.
