Winter Storm Watch in Effect

A winter storm watch is in effect from tomorrow morning through Friday morning.

The National Weather Service in State College says a developing storm coming up the eastern seaboard will bring rain and snow to the region. It will start as a mixture of rain and snow, then become primarily snow that could be heavy and wet.

News 4 Meteorologist Mike Cejka tells WESB and The HERO if the snow is heavy enough, and accumulates on trees that still have leaves, it could cause significant damage and power outages if the trees fall onto power lines, much like the October Surprise Snowstorm three years ago in Buffalo.

Mike says this is only a watch, not a warning, which means there is the potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may impact travel.
