Wilkes-Barre, PA – A late-season wintry mix is forecast to sweep through Northeast Pennsylvania Sunday night, transitioning into snow and potentially disrupting Monday morning routines.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, snow is expected to begin late Sunday evening, with precipitation intensifying overnight as colder air settles into the region. Snowfall accumulations of 1 to 2 inches are forecast across areas including Wilkes-Barre, Montrose, and Scranton, with the highest totals expected on grassy and elevated surfaces.
Snow is projected to taper off by mid-morning Monday. Temperatures will fall into the upper 20s to low 30s overnight, creating slick spots on untreated roads during early commutes. Daytime highs Monday will only reach the low 40s before another blast of cold air arrives Monday night, pushing lows back into the 20s by early Tuesday.
Residents should prepare for brief but impactful travel delays during the Monday morning rush. Officials recommend allowing extra commute time, using caution on bridges and overpasses, and checking local school or municipal delays.
This early April system comes after a weekend of rain showers and above-normal temperatures. Winter weather gear may be needed again, but milder air is expected to return by Thursday across the region.
