Winter Weather Advisory – Snow Expected in Schuylkill County on Sunday

National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the first part of Sunday here in Schuylkill County.

According to information released early Saturday morning, NWS predicts between 2-4 inches of snow will fall on Schuylkill County from between 1 a.m. and 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 7.

Snowfall, although light by comparison to the storm earlier this week, can still cause tricky travel conditions. Heaviest snowfall will happen along and southeast of the Interstate 81 corridor.

Here’s a look at the current watches, warnings, and advisories in effect:
