Mount Pocono, PA – Wintry weather continues to impact the region as light freezing rain is expected to develop late Sunday night and persist through mid-morning Monday, particularly in the higher elevations of the southern Poconos.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, widespread precipitation will move across Pennsylvania starting late Sunday. While most areas will see rain or a mix of rain and snow, Carbon and Monroe Counties are under a winter weather advisory due to potential freezing rain in elevated terrain.
Forecasters warn that a thin glaze of ice—amounting to just a few hundredths of an inch—could result in slippery travel conditions. Ice is most likely on untreated roads, sidewalks, driveways, and stairways, especially during the Monday morning commute.
Drivers are urged to reduce speeds and allow extra travel time. Pedestrians should use caution on icy surfaces. Officials recommend avoiding travel in the advisory area during early morning hours if possible.
This weather pattern is typical for late March in the Pocono region, where higher terrain often experiences extended winter impacts. Residents are encouraged to monitor updates at weather.gov/phi for localized alerts and road condition updates.
