Late Week Storm Snowmap

Here’s an initial look at the snowfall potential across the area. Keep in mind, this map covers snowfall over a period from Thursday afternoon through Friday night. More snow is expected in the Laurel Highlands on Saturday.

A few selected areas(through Saturday afternoon): Johnstown 12 to 15″, Altoona 4 to 6″, State College 5 to 7″, DuBois 6 to 9″, Somerset 14 to 18″, Indiana 8 to 12″, Bedford 1 to 3″.

There will also be extremely gusty winds late Thursday through Friday, gusting at times up to 50 mph. This will obviously create quite a bit of blowing and drifting, especially in the areas that pick up over 6″ of snow. This will make it very difficult to travel, and also measure the snow!

I’ll have another update tomorrow evening tweaking amounts and winds.
