Regional Weather Summary
National Weather Service State College PA
612 PM EST Mon Nov 10 2025
A deep upper level trough associated with very cold air aloft will
push east across Pennsylvania tonight. In its wake, the northwest
flow will become well-aligned through an extensive vertical layer
late tonight and much of Tuesday, creating heavy lake effect snow
in excess of 8 inches across Warren county. Multiple, slowly
meandering snow bands will bring a few to several inches of snow
accumulation further inland across the Northwest Mountains and
ridge tops of the Laurel Highlands to the west of route 219.
The cold air crossing the relatively warm waters of the Great
Lakes will push moisture well inland, leading to flurries and
scattered snow showers across the Central Ridge and Valley Region
of the state with light snow accumulations of a coating to one-
half inch possible as far southeast as the Interstate 99 and Route
220 corridors. Partly cloudy skies with just some scattered
flurries will occur across the Susquehanna Valley.
Lows at sunrise Tuesday morning will range from the upper teens
and low 20s across the Allegheny Plateau to around 30 degrees in
the city of Philadelphia, with wind chills ranging from the single
digits across the Allegheny Plateau to the low 20s in the
immediate Philadelphia area. Temperatures will remain chilly into
Tuesday afternoon, with highs only recovering to the 30s to mid
40s statewide.
Wind gusts will increase to the 30 to 40 mph range for the
daylight hours Tuesday.
Tuesday will be the coldest day of the week, with temperatures
gradually moderating for the second half of the week.

1239 AM EST Tue Nov 11 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
* Wintry precipitation will continue to fall over the north and
western highlands as temperatures fall on the back side of the
departing surface low.
* Lake-effect and upslope snow showers will be heaviest Mon
night into Tues, along with the coldest temperatures of the
season thus far.
* Temperatures should begin to moderate by late week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
Winds within the deepening boundary layer (extending up through
10 KFT AGL overnight) will remain nearly steady state from about
295-300 deg over the next several hours, ahead of a secondary
vort lobe within the overall larger scale trough that extended
from near KROC to KMGW and KCLT.
Two, base Snow Squall Warnings were recently issued for this
slowly meandering band from near KDUJ to KFIG and KUNV. Vsbys
were noted below 1/4SM along I-80 near the Penfield exit with
snow covered roads. Air and road temps are in the mid-upper 20s,
which will support snow-covered and slick travel. Total snow
accums within this snowband will likely be in the 1-2 inch
range, but 3 inches isn`t out of the question in a few spots
within 20SM of KFIG. Elsewhere this evening, persistent,
moderate to heavy Lake Effect Snow was ramping up across the
snowbelt of NW Warren Cty (within out CWA) and points N and W,
while mainly flurries were occurring across the Laurels and
Central and Ncent Mtns.
Previous Disc...
The flow will also start to back and a better Huron connection
will fatten up a big band or a few heavier bands and these will
last all night and morning. The band orientation will be mainly
NW-SE thru the night. As is usual, it will be tough to get more
than a dusting to the SE of the Allegheny Front. However, some
will make snow into Happy Valley and the lower West Branch
valley. The accumulations will be minimal, and have only
mentioned less than an inch in general there. Other than that
tweak, the forecast snow amounts for the overnight still look
good.
Planning no changes to the WWAs at the present time and let the
snow squall warnings speak for themselves over the smaller areas
they encompass.
It is the first snow of the season for many people. Allow extra
time for travel and taking care of the shoveling, etc. and not
rush to get places.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
Our latest thinking is almost the same as the previous
reasonings. But, one difference is that the snow bands may stick
around longer into the aftn - and maybe early evening. While
the worst/heaviest of the snow will be during the morning, some
bands could linger. After collaboration with neighbors, we
decided to not extend (in time) the warning and advisories in
the north. Will advise the next shifts on this possible change
to watch for if trends continue. Otherwise, the backing flow
will gradually take away/break up our Huron connection, and
break the bigger band(s) into smaller ones, and lay them out
more west to east (vs NW-SE that will prevail tonight and early
AM). Temps do rise again, but stay cold enough for accums on the
grassy surfaces/dead leaves/trees during the day. Roads will
have a chance to warm up and make it more difficult for it to
stick there. Maxes will be just above freezing in most places
which will receive snow, and upper 30s to lower 40s SE of the
Allegheny Front. Just the tops of the highest hills of the NW
and Laurels will stay below freezing.
The lake effect machine will be completely out of our hair in
the late aftn/early evening. But, a quick-moving upper level
system will direct a patch of light precip across MI and nrn OH
into far nrn PA and wrn NY Tuesday night. Any accums will be
<1" overnight. So, the break in snow may not last more than
12hrs, if even 6 hours along the NY border.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Upper-level troughing will remain in place through the end of
the week, keeping the chance for rain and snow showers in the
forecast each day through Friday, especially over northwest PA.
A tight pressure gradient will allow for winds gusts in the 30
to 35 mph range Wednesday, with some guidance suggesting the
potential for gusts over the Laurel Highlands to approach 40 to
45 mph.
The December-like cold airmass is forecast to retreat later in
the week, with temperatures returning closer to seasonal
averages. High pressure looks build in from the southwest Friday
into early Sunday, which should keep us mainly dry into the
beginning of the weekend.
Another northern stream upper shortwave traversing the Northern
Plains will reach the Great Lakes early in the weekend and
support a low pressure/frontal system that will move across PA
Sunday into next Monday. At this point, this system appears to
be not as strong or as cold as our current one, so any precip
looks to be mainly in the form of rain/rain showers.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Low-level flow will gain more of a westerly component overnight
and will direct heavy lake effect snow bands into Central PA.
Several bands of lake effect snow have already caused reductions
in visibility over central PA. UNV has dropped to less than 2
miles as a consistent band remains over that terminal. Within
the next couple of hours more upslope snow showers at JST and
AOO are anticipated.
Expect IFR/LIFR conditions at BFD for much of the night, while
JST likely remains MVFR with brief periods of IFR possible. Most
guidance indicates the potential for some of the heavier
snowbands to make it all the way down to UNV and IPT by early
morning. MDT and LNS will likely remain VFR through the TAF
period, though there is around a 15 percent chance of a few snow
showers making it that far southeast. Snow lifts north of JST
and AOO by mid- morning, but snow will continue at BFD into the
afternoon.
Strong winds a few thousand feet above the surface should mix
down fairly easily tonight and during the day on Tuesday, with
gusts of 25 to 35 knots expected at all TAF sites. VFR
conditions may briefly return area-wide late in the TAF period
with just a few lingering snow showers near BFD. Snow chances
increase again Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
Outlook...
Wed-Thu...Rain and snow showers over northwest PA along with
gusty winds.
Fri...Improvement expected, with winds diminishing and
lingering -SHSN across NW PA diminishing as well.
Sat...Dry, generally VFR.

.CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
