Its feeling in the 50s in the Philadelphia region this weekend. By Monday night, it could be snowing.
Several inches of snow could fall in northern parts of the Philadelphia region and the Lehigh Valley as a winter storm brings in rain that transitions to snow early on Feb. 13, 2024With days of above freezing temps leading up to the winter storm, not every neighborhood will see snow sticking to the ground.
However, the northernmost suburbs and Lehigh Valley could wind up with several inches of snow and poor travel conditions during the strongest periods of snowfall. A First Alert for snow -- heavy at times -- for the Pennsylvania suburbs, Berks County, the Lehigh Valley and Mercer County will be in effect from 2 a.m. to noon Tuesday.Temps are expected to dip after rain moves into the region Monday night, leading to eventual snowfall in much of the Philadelphia region. Some neighborhoods could get several inches of snow before the wintry weather ends.The NBC10 First Alert Weather Team issued a 🚨 First Alert 🚨 for Berks, Bucks, Chester, Lehigh, Mercer, Montgomery and Northampton counties from 2 a.m. Tuesday until noon, as snow in those neighborhoods could stick and be intense at points, leading to low visibility, especially in the northernmost parts of those counties.

Temps dip as night falls, but not cold enough to bring anything more than rain to start.Rain is expected to move in Monday evening. As the system takes hold, temps are expected to dip from the 40s into the 30s early Tuesday morning. The cooling atmosphere should transition rain to snow, starting in the Lehigh Valley and northern Berks County. Throughout early Tuesday, that rain/snow line is expected to move further south as colder air blows in. In northernmost suburbs, Berks County and the Lehigh Valley, the snow could be heavy at times, leading to poor travel conditions Tuesday morning. National Weather Service winter storm warnings are in effect in Berks County and the Lehigh Valley from midnight into early Tuesday afternoon.: How much snow could fall where you are as rain transitions to snow as a winter storm hit overnight into Tuesday morning?The snow continues after daybreak before rolling out by midday. You could even see some sunshine in the afternoon. Blustery conditions continue through the afternoon.As always, the estimated snow totals are top of mind. A foot of snow could fall in the Pocono Mountains, while half a foot of snow or more could accumulate in the Lehigh Valley and next to nothing sticks in parts of South Jersey.From next to nothing to a foot of snow, the estimated totals vary greatly by neighborhood.There are some factors pushing back against accumulating snow in Philadelphia and the immediate suburbs. Temps aren't expected to get below freezing in those neighborhoods. Also, the ground is warm from days of mild weather, so even snow that falls could melt. Temps are expected to get down to around freezing in the northernmost neighborhoods and snow could be intense in those places, leading to low visibility during the morning commute.PennDOT is ready to attack any snow that falls onto Pennsylvania roads, but they will have to wait out the rain first. On Monday, PennDOT said plow and salt trucks wouldn't be deployed ahead of the storm as the rain would wash away any treatment they put on roads. Expect to see trucks out on the roads, however, early on Tuesday.Although temperatures recover into the 40s Tuesday afternoon, it will turn colder at night, freezing whatever is left behind. Don't expect the spring-like warmth to return anytime soon. Highs on Wednesday won't get out of the upper 30s in most neighborhoods while highs on Thursday and Friday aren't expected to get out of the low to mid 40s. Expect overnight lows below freezing for the rest of the week.
