PA Weather: Latest Snowfall Totals Released For Early-Week Storm

PENNSYLVANIA — Parts of Pennsylvania could see some significant snowfall early next week when a winter weather system moves across the state following a mild weekend, according to the National Weather Service's latest forecast.

While the Philadelphia metro area isn't likely to see much precipitation, as of Saturday afternoon, forecasters are predicting heavy snow with total accumulations of 7 to 12 inches possible in Carbon and Monroe counties.

In the meantime, temperatures remain quite warm. Based on latest trends, snow will begin in Carbon and Monroe counties Monday evening, and a prolonged period of accumulating snow will fall.

Snow probabilities for the 24 hours ending at 7 pm Tuesday have a wide range of 1 inch to 13 inches.

Farther south, mainly from I-80 down to I-78, totals are predicted to fall into the 4 to 6-inch range, but "confidence is lower that there will be a prolonged period of accumulating snow in those areas," National Weather Service officials said.

Any snow down to the I-95 corridor looks to be minimal, according to officials.

Leading up to the storm, Pennsylvania residents should expect quiet weather and cloudy skies with mild temperatures in the mid-50s to low 60s.
