Scranton, PA – Northeast Pennsylvania is bracing for a wintery mix of snow and ice that could create hazardous conditions from Sunday evening through Monday morning. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 4 p.m. Sunday to 10 a.m. Monday, covering counties including Lackawanna, Luzerne, and Wayne.
The National Weather Service forecasts up to 3 inches of snow and a light glaze of ice, which could lead to slippery roadways and hazardous travel conditions. The advisory includes cities such as Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and Tunkhannock. Impacts are expected to be most significant during the Monday morning commute, with icy patches and reduced visibility posing risks to drivers.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, motorists should reduce speeds and allow extra travel time, especially on bridges and overpasses, which tend to freeze quickly. Travelers are encouraged to check real-time traffic conditions at www.511pa.com before heading out.
The mixed precipitation is expected to taper off by late Monday morning, but lingering ice and snow could still cause localized travel difficulties. Residents are urged to prepare for the storm by stocking up on essentials and ensuring vehicles are winter-ready.
