Snowy, Wintry Start To November Possible In PA: See Latest Forecast

PENNSYLVANIA — There are still several weeks left in an autumn that has been mostly warm and rainy, but forecasters indicate that there could be a pattern shift in the coming days that would bring some wintry weather to Pennsylvania.

A cold front is all but guaranteed in the coming days, officials say. But the latest predictions from meteorologists at AccuWeather lay out two potential possibilities for later this week into early next week.

Under one of the scenarios, a rainy storm front coming from the southeast could intensify as it drives north, potentially turning to snow by the time it reaches Pennsylvania.

"The potential for snowfall in this scenario would begin to unfold perhaps as far south as the Blue Ridge Mountains Thursday night into Friday," AccuWeather says. "The odds for any accumulating snow would likely reside farther north, however, into areas such as western Virginia, West Virginia and perhaps Pennsylvania to close out the week. The potential for the first flakes of the season could also extend into the Poconos and Catskills this weekend if the storm comes to fruition."

Under a second potential scenario, this same storm front would move slowly, not intensify, and leave the northeast region dry and cold to close out the week.

For now, the National Weather Service calls for colder weather later in the week in eastern Pennsylvania, but a mostly dry start to the month:

Monday

Sunny, with a high near 60. Northwest wind 10 to 15 mph.

Monday night

Increasing clouds, with a low around 43. West wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening.
