Hour-By-Hour Forecast Of Tuesday Night Snow In Pennsylvania

The snow from the last storm may have just melted, but more winter weather is on the way Tuesday.

The National Weather Service says the entire Eastern Pennsylvania region is under a hazardous weather outlook for snow that is expected to develop late Tuesday. Latest estimates call for about three inches of accumulation in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia, including Bucks and portions of Montgomery counties.

Areas to the south could see two inches or so, the National Weather Service estimates. Good news for skiers: As much as six inches could fall in the Poconos.

Here is the latest snowfall map:

According to information released Tuesday morning by the National Weather Service, the heaviest snow is expected to fall after sunset this evening and continue overnight in the advisory area. Snowfall will travel west to east.

According to the Weather Channel, precipitation will begin as snow showers around 10 p.m. in areas to the west of the city. The snow will move east, and should overspread all of the Philadelphia suburbs by 11 p.m.

The heaviest snowfall will occur from about 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. It will taper off to snow showers by 7 a.m. and should stop by 9 a.m., the Weather Channel predicts.

We will get a break from the freezing temperatures later this week. In fact, starting Friday, we'll have a nice stretch of highs in the 40s and 50s through next week, The Weather Channel predicts.

For now and into Wednesday it will remain cold. Temperatures will likely rise above freezing Tuesday for most of the region, especially near and south of I-95, but will drop below freezing tonight. That means drivers should beware of slippery conditions on untreated surfaces.
