Philadelphia, PA – Snow showers are expected to impact eastern Pennsylvania Friday evening, creating slippery road conditions along I-78 and surrounding areas. Drivers should exercise caution as untreated roads could become hazardous, particularly during evening travel hours.
According to the National Weather Service, snow is likely to begin late Friday afternoon, with the heaviest activity occurring during the evening commute. Accumulations are expected to range from a light dusting to one inch in most areas, with some pockets near I-78 potentially receiving slightly more. Winds of 10-15 mph could further reduce visibility, making travel risky.
Temperatures will hover around 33°F during the day Friday before dropping to 26°F overnight. By Saturday, conditions improve slightly with mostly cloudy skies and a high of 41°F, though early morning travelers may still encounter icy patches.
Sunday brings colder air back into the region, with a high near 39°F and snow chances returning by late afternoon. Overnight lows are expected to fall to 18°F, and wind chills may make it feel even colder. Monday and Tuesday will be bitterly cold, with daytime highs struggling to climb above 26°F and lows in the single digits.
Residents are encouraged to monitor weather updates and plan accordingly for the weekend. If driving is necessary Friday evening, allow extra time and ensure vehicles are winter-ready. Pedestrians should also be cautious, as sidewalks and untreated surfaces could become slippery.
The National Weather Service advises checking local travel conditions and avoiding unnecessary trips during periods of snowfall. Stay informed as additional winter weather could develop into next week.
