…LAKE EFFECT SNOW BANDS TONIGHT…

Strong westerly winds and moisture streaming off the Great Lakes has generated heavy bands of lake effect snow that will impact portions of I-99 in Centre County, I-80 between mile marker 140 and 190, as well as roadways in Cameron, Clinton, and Potter counties for the next few hours.

Bands of lake effect snow can quickly reduce visibility and cause rapid accumulations of snow. The reduced traction and blinding visibility of a snow band can make travel very dangerous very quickly.

Use extra caution if you must travel tonight and encounter bands of heavy snow, slow down and consider exiting the highway. Rapid changes in visibility and potentially slick roads may lead to accidents. Please use extreme caution and allow plenty of stopping distance. Avoid braking suddenly.
