Special Weather Statement
Issued: 2:36 AM Feb. 7, 2026 – National Weather Service
...SNOW SQUALLS POSSIBLE 1030 PM THROUGH 1230 AM... A band of heavy snow showers and squalls has been observed along an approaching Arctic cold front in western Pennsylvania. This band is projected to move into Somerset, southern Cambria, and western Bedford Counties between 1030 PM and 1230 AM tonight. Snow squalls quickly reduce visibility and cause rapid accumulations of snow. The reduced traction and blinding visibility of a snow squall can make travel very dangerous very quickly. Consider avoiding or delaying travel while the band of heavy snow moves through the area. Rapid changes in visibility and potentially slick roads may lead to accidents. If you must travel, please use extreme caution and allow plenty of stopping distance. Avoid braking suddenly.
