Up to a half foot of snow could fall in York County with incoming winter storm: forecast

(This story was updated to add new information.)

York County could receive two to four inches of snow early in the week with some locations getting up to half a foot, according AccuWeather.com senior meteorologist Tom Kines.

It comes as southcentral Pennsylvania will be facing a long duration of cold temperatures.

The snow from the winter storm that is going to affect the Midwest and mid-Atlantic is predicted to fall Sunday night into Monday. Travel will likely be moving slow on the first day of the work week, Kines said.

York County is predicted to receive two to four inches with the higher amounts in the southern area. Locations near the Maryland border could get six inches, he said.

The National Weather Service in State College anticipates an accumulating snow for York County, but it’s too early to say how much, meteorologist Joe Bauco said.

After the storm moves out it will be blustery, which will make it feel like it is in the teens to low 20s, Kines said.

Watch for heavy burst of snow on Friday

Residents in south-central Pennsylvania will likely see some snow showers on Friday, too.

The National Weather Service is warning that the area could see a heavy burst of snow between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., Bauco said.

“There could be a rapid change in visibility” for drivers, he said.

It’s possible, too, that drivers could encounter slick spots if the snow coats the mainly secondary roads, Kines said.

Generally, the National Weather Service predicts the area could receive around an inch of snow, Bauco said.
