UPDATE: The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for the Tri-State area from 7 p.m. Friday through 7 a.m. Saturday.
Forecasted snow totals have increased for southern Franklin County. As of Friday morning, that area was expected to get 3 to 5 inches of snow overnight into Saturday, said meteorologist Aaron Tyburski with the State College (Pa.) Forecast Office.
Light flurries were still expected to start in the early evening with most of the snow forecast to start around 11 p.m. to midnight Friday in the Tri-State area and end around sunrise, meteorologists said.
There could still be lingering snow in the morning, but the storm is expected to move quickly to the coast and out to sea, Tyburski said.
The main center of the storm is south of Pennsylvania, he said.
The high Saturday is anticipated to be in the low to mid 40s in the Hagerstown and Martinsburg, W.Va., areas and around 36 degrees to 38 degrees in southern Franklin County, according to Tyburski and the weather service’s online forecasts.
