As the storm progresses, temperatures will continue to warm up into the 30's around Midnight on Monday morning and that snow will switch to sleet then rain.

Overnight temperatures are expected to stay above freezing keeping the precipitation all rain until daybreak when temperatures will drop again and precipitation will turn back to all snow by lunchtime.

As of Saturday morning's forecasts, the National Weather Service is saying Schuylkill County could see anywhere from 3-6 inches of snow during the storm.  Travel will definitely be tricky Sunday evening and Monday morning.  As of 11:00am, Saturday, there have been no advisories or watches issued for the county.
