Snow Expected in Philadelphia Area Late Friday into Saturday

The first snowfall of any significance this whole winter is expected to affect the region late tonight and into Saturday morning and afternoon. The entire snowfall for the month of January is at .2 inches. The last storm with any kind of accumulating wintry precipitation was way back on Halloween weekend.

This event will not be nearly as devastating or impacting, it's only worth noting because of the sheer lack of snow the Philadelphia area has seen thus far this winter.

Snow will start after midnight and continue through morning, possibly mixing with sleet and freezing rain in the city and areas south and east.

One to three inches is expected for Philadelphia and its southern suburbs, two to four for the northern suburbs, and four to six for the Lehigh Valley.

Temperatures will remain below freezing until Saturday afternoon where highs are expected to reach the mid 30's before dipping back to the 20's overnight.

PennDOT is treating roads with brine and salt ahead of the storm, but roads could become slippery especially Saturday morning and overnight into Sunday as it refreezes.

This snowfall might not last long as high temps the next few days will be above freezing and into the 40's and 50's.
