A storm will move in Saturday and spread snow across central Pennsylvania first thing in the morning.
While warmer air will move up with that storm, all or mostly snow will fall around the area Saturday.
An average accumulation of 6-8 inches is forecast over the I-80, I-99 and route 322 and 11 corridors.
Many roads will be slippery and snow covered.

The wintry precipitation is likely to occur during the Army-Navy Classic Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Enough snow and icy mix can fall not only to impact the game at Philadelphia but also to disrupt travel throughout the Northeast region.
Sleet and freezing rain will mix in over parts of central Pennsylvania later Saturday before the storm diminishes at night. The thin layer of ice will tend to compact the accumulation of snow. Where sleet and freezing rain fail to mix in, especially across the northern tier, there will be a heavier accumulation.
The storm will have exited the area Sunday. With temperatures swinging above freezing, the roads will clear off and some of the snow on grassy areas will melt. However, wet and slushy areas will freeze Sunday night, so be alert for areas of black ice.
