'Burst' Of Snow Monday Could Drop 3 Inches In PA: Latest Forecast

PHILADELPHIA, PA — A burst of snow headed to the Philadelphia region on Monday could result in 1 to 2 inches per hour, leaving as much as 3 inches of total daytime accumulation, forecasters say.

According to the National Weather Service, the snow is expected during the late morning to early afternoon.

"Watch for rapid reductions in visibility as snow moves into the region this morning. Snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour may result in reduced visibility down to a quarter of a mile or less at times. This will make travel difficult at times as roads become quickly snow-covered," the National Weather Service said in a Special Weather Statement.

A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued in some parts of the region, including in Berks, Lehigh and Northampton counties.

Snow will move into the region from west to east, but will mix with and change to rain for some locations. All precipitation is expected to move out of the region by late afternoon into early evening, forecasters with the National Weather Service said.
