Special Weather Statement National Weather Service State College PA 211 PM EST Wed Feb 11 2026 ...AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW FOR THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS AND LAUREL HIGHLANDS LATE TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY... Deepening cold and relatively moist air being lifted across the Mountains of Western Pennsylvania will result in fairly persistent light snow late today through Thursday. Snowfall rates will peak at only around one-quarter of an inch per hour for much of the area along and to the east of the Route 219 corridor. However, a few periods of snowfall rates of one half inch per hour or greater will likely occur in the areas of greatest upslope flow, such as the ski areas of the Laurel Highlands and the perennial snowbelt of Northern Warren County. Total snowfall during this 24 to 30 hour period will range from just an inch or two in the valleys near and to the east of Route 219, to as much as 4 or 5 inches along the crest of Laurel Ridge in Somerset County. Roads could become snow covered and slippery tonight and Thursday as temperatures settle into the upper teens to low 20s for the bulk of the time. Use extra caution and allow extra time to reach your destination if you plan to travel.
