Special Weather Statement issued March 1 at 9:42AM EST by NWS State College PA
Gusty winds and plunging temperatures behind a strong cold front will drop temperatures into and through the 20s over the Alleghenies through midday. Strong northwest winds gusting over 35 mph will accelerate surface drying from frontal rain and snow showers, but lack of chemicals on roadways after recent mild temperatures and rainfall will create local slick spots due to the rapid temperature drops over the Laurel Highlands and the West Central, Northwest and North Central Mountains through midday.
