WEATHER ALERT: Black Ice, Snow Hitting Morning, Afternoon Rush In Pennsylvania

It will be cold and it will snow.

Snow is expected to fall after 2 p.m. Wednesday following a period of cold weather -- both of which could make a mess of the afternoon and evening commutes.

The National Weather Service has issued alerts, saying patchy black ice is possible into rush hour as temperatures fall.

The National Weather Service has also issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook, saying a period of accumulating snow is expected across much of the region Wednesday afternoon and evening, and last until 7 a.m. Thursday.

The snow could lead to slippery travel, which may adversely affect the Wednesday evening commute. Amounts are expected to range from one to two inches, according to the National Weather Service.

The storm comes after a wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain soaked the region on Sunday morning, and much of that rain and wetness froze on Pennsylvania roads on Monday.
