If you’ve been wondering how bad the winter storm will be tomorrow, here’s the simple, real-life breakdown you need. As someone who constantly tracks weather updates for work (and because I really hate being surprised during a morning commute), I know how stressful these sudden snow days can be. So let’s walk through what’s coming—step by step—in friendly, easy-to-understand English.
A Winter Weather Advisory Is Already Active
A Winter Weather Advisory is in place for the entire Susquehanna Valley from 3 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday. That’s the time frame when the winter storm is expected to bring the first real plowable snow of the season.
In simple terms:
Tomorrow morning will be messy—slow traffic, slick roads, and possible delays.
Tonight: Clouds Build Up, Snow Moves In Early
The evening starts calm, but the setup for this winter storm begins overnight.
Here’s what to expect:
- Clouds increase after midnight
- Light snow begins between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.
- Temperatures stay right around 30°F
- Roads may become slick even with light snow
If you leave home early, this is the part that could catch you off guard. A thin layer of wet snow can make roads extremely slippery.
Tuesday Morning: Heavy, Wet, Slushy Snow Hits Fast
This is the heart of the winter storm—the part that affects your routine the most.
Expect:
- Thick, wet snow that sticks easily
- Slippery roads and reduced visibility
- Slow-moving traffic and likely delays
- 1–2 inches already on the ground by 7 a.m.
If you’ve driven during a slushy winter morning before, you know how unpredictable it feels. Take it slow, keep extra distance, and don’t rush the commute.
Southern Counties See a Change: Snow → Sleet → Rain
Warm air sneaks into the system during the morning, especially across southern counties like:
- Lancaster
- York
- Southeastern Adams
For these areas, the winter storm starts snowy but quickly shifts to:
- Snow
- A short burst of sleet
- Cold rain by mid-morning
Snow totals will stay on the lower side here—coating to 2 inches—before everything melts into rain. Rain should ease off after lunchtime.
If you live here, your morning may start wintery but end wet and rainy.
Snow Totals Across the Susquehanna Valley
Different areas will see different impacts from the winter storm.
Most of the Valley
- 2–5 inches of snow
- Tapers off west to east after early afternoon
Higher Elevations (north & east of Harrisburg)
- 5–6 inches likely
- Includes northern Dauphin, Lebanon, Schuylkill, Northumberland
These hillier areas usually hold onto cold air longer, so heavier snow makes sense.
Tuesday Afternoon & Evening: Roads Improve but Watch for Ice
Once the winter storm moves out:
- Temperatures rise into the low-to-mid 30s
- Road salt works effectively
- Travel conditions improve gradually
But keep this in mind:
- Overnight lows fall to the upper 20s
- Any leftover water on roads can refreeze
- Early Wednesday may bring icy patches
Black ice after a winter storm is often more dangerous than the snow itself—so stay alert.
Quick Look at Conditions in Potosi, Texas
If you’re checking weather for Potosi, Texas, instead of dealing with a winter storm, you’re in luck:
- Clear skies
- High around 44°F
- Calm winds and low humidity
- Cold night temperatures near 27°F
Pretty chill day—literally.
Tips to Stay Safe During the Winter Storm
A few small steps can make tomorrow much easier:
- Charge your phone before bed
- Set your alarm 10–15 minutes earlier
- Keep a snow brush or scraper inside your car
- Follow school/work alerts
- Drive slower than usual—slush behaves unpredictably
As someone who’s dealt with dozens of winter storms over the years, I can tell you: preparation makes a huge difference.
Conclusion
This upcoming winter storm will bring several inches of snow, messy morning roads, and a wintry mix for southern counties. The worst hits during the morning commute, with improving conditions through the afternoon. Still, watch for icy spots late Tuesday night and early Wednesday.
