Snow In Next Week's Forecast For Eastern Pennsylvania

There are two chances for snow in next week's forecast for Eastern Pennsylvania, according to forecasters. The National Weather Service is forecasting snow could make a return to the Philadelphia region on Monday night and Tuesday morning. Another storm could make its way to the region by Groundhog Day, which is Friday, Feb. 2, AccuWeather is predicting.

Snow and slippery travel could be a factor for the Tuesday morning commute.

Here is the NWS forecast for 7 a.m. on Tuesday:

While temperatures are expected to reach the 50s on Saturday and Sunday, a southern storm is expected to turn northward. Just enough cold air may arrive to produce snow showers on Monday night and Tuesday morning in New Jersey, according to AccuWeather.

"How quickly these three components come together will determine the extent of dry air and flurries versus accumulating snow," AccuWeather Lead Long-Range Meteorologist Paul Pastelok said in a news release.

The winter weather may not end there.

Following another surge of warm air during the middle part of next week, rain is expected late in the week, AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said in a news release. Depending on temperatures and the storm track, that rain could become snow in Eastern Pennsylvania, AccuWeather says.

More on that as it gets closer.
