Hazardous Weather Outlook Issued, Chance Of Snow In Eastern PA

A Hazardous Weather Outlook has been issued across the Philadelphia region for the possibility of snow on Monday night into Tuesday morning. As of now, snowfall accumulations are expected to be minor but there is still "considerable uncertainty," the National Weather Service said.

It could be enough to make the Tuesday morning commute slippery, the National Weather Service says.

The chance of winter weather will follow a mild January weekend, with highs in the upper 50s predicted for today (Saturday, Jan. 27).

Next week's winter weather may not end with that Monday snow event.

Rain is expected later in the week, AccuWeather says. And depending on temperatures and the track of that storm, it could become snow in Eastern Pennsylvania. The National Weather Service says there is currently a chance of snow on Friday. More on that as it approaches.
