What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS State College, PA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Feb 21, 12:49 PM EST, 54 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- 1) Ice jam risk continues into the weekend, but no significant flooding is expected. 2) Plowable to potential heavy snowfall (Lower Susq Valley and Western Poconos) increasingly likely on Sunday and Monday.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 21, 12:49 PM EST, 54 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service State College PA 1249 PM EST Sat Feb 21 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... * Expanded the Winter Storm Watch to include Cumberland and Perry County in South Central PA * Increased confidence in plowable snowfall across much of central Pennsylvania Sunday-Monday. Winter Storm Watches have been issued for the Laurel Highlands and parts of the Lower Susquehanna Valley. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Ice jam risk continues into the weekend, but no significant flooding is expected. 2) Plowable to potential heavy snowfall (Lower Susq Valley and Western Poconos) increasingly likely on Sunday and Monday. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1: Ice jam risk continues into the weekend, but no significant flooding expected. Cooler air moves in this evening as winds become westerly, allowing for a few snow showers over the north and west. The ice jam threat continues into the weekend as daytime highs in the 30s and 40s will support additional ice breakup. The threat for significant flooding is low as we are not anticipating any significant rainfall. Flooding would likely be localized and minor. KEY MESSAGE 2: Plowable to potential heavy snowfall (Lower Susq Valley and Western Poconos) increasingly likely on Sunday and Monday. Confidence continues to increase in an area of low pressure developing off the east coast on Sunday as a potent upper digs southeast from the Great Lakes region and amplifies across the Central Appalachians and Mid Atlantic Coast. While there are still some differences in the exact track of the surface low after it develops, largely due to differences in the timing of when/where the phasing of the northern and southern branches of the jet stream occurs, most of the 00Z Sat guidance continues to convergence per the recent northwest trend over the last several model cycles. This would likely bring heavy snowfall into portions of the Lower Susquehanna Valley. The WPC Winter Storm Outlook continues to tick higher, with much of the eastern half of the forecast area now seeing a 50 to 80 percent chance of seeing snowfall exceed warning criteria. We have issued a Winter Storm Watch for portions of the Lower Susquehanna Valley where we currently have the highest confidence in seeing 4 to 6 inches of snowfall. Perhaps the trickiest part of the forecast stems from the potential for quasi-stationary north/south band of heavy snow (lasting several hours or more) along the axis of an inverted llvl trough and leading edge of the lower/deeper DGZ that will be situated from the Scent Mtns to somewhere between KUNV/KSEG and KIPT later Sunday afternoon/Sunday night. A couple of things to keep in mind regarding this snowfall forecast: * There is still considerable uncertainty regarding the eventual track of the low. A more westerly track will favor heavier snowfall over parts of Central PA while an easterly track may shift the heaviest snow to the east of our area. * As the low quickly deepens off the east coast, expect areas of enhanced low to mid level frontogenesis and UVVEL to develop in the western periphery of the system. Much of this banding will likely set up east of the CWA, but could still develop across parts of our central and eastern zones. * Multiple models continue to show a snow band associated with an area of low level convergence within an inverted trough extending northwestward from the coastal low. While this type of band is more likely to set up somewhere in central PA, it will likely be narrow with a widely varying snowfall totals on either side of the band. A prolonged period of upslope snow is also anticipated in the Laurel Highlands as flow behind the surface low becomes northwesterly. Most guidance continues to show a 48 hour period from early Sunday morning through early Tuesday morning where snow should fall, with 4 to 8 inches of snow expected along the ridges of Cambria and Somerset Counties. As a result, we have issued a Winter Storm Watch for those two counties as well. Significant uncertainty still remains regarding snowfall over the rest of Central PA, so please stay up to date with the latest forecast. && .AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... 18z update... The latest satellite imagery this afternoon shows the lower cloud deck slowly eroding from S-N. This should put KJST, KAOO, KMDT, KLNS, and probably KUNV in good standing for VFR/unrestricted conditions through this evening. At KBFD, and to a somewhat lesser extent KIPT, lower clouds and MVFR/fuel alternate restrictions will hang on longer. During the pre-dawn hours Sunday, steadier snow should overspread PA from SW-NE. From shortly after its onset, IFR restrictions will quickly settle in. W-NW surface winds of 5-10 kt this afternoon will diminish by early evening, then remain light through midday Sunday. Outlook... Sun night into Mon...Widespread IFR restrictions in snow. N-NW surface winds will also start to pick up this period, and could ultimately gust 25-35 kt. Tue...Still some potential for MVFR-IFR restrictions in snow showers at KBFD and KJST, with largely VFR elsewhere. Wed into Thu...Some potential for restrictive conditions to develop in scattered rain and snow showers. && .CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Storm Watch from late tonight through late Monday night for PAZ024-033.
