WEATHER ALERT: Winter Storm To Dump Freezing Rain, Snow On Monday Commute

Winter Storm Hektor will slam the Philadelphia region with freezing rain, sleet and snow starting Sunday night and during the Monday morning commute, forecasters say.

The National Weather Service issued both a Hazardous Weather Outlook and a Winter Weather Advisory for much of New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania, saying a wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain will arrive on Sunday night and Monday morning.

The snow and sleet will change over to plain rain before it may change back briefly to a snow-and-sleet mixture monday evening, according to the National Weather Service.

Snow and sleet accumulations are expected to be less than 1 inch, along with a trace of ice.

Untreated roads could be slippery, making the morning commute more difficult than usual, according to the National Weather Service.

Hektor brought light icing to parts of Texas Friday and Saturday and is now heading to the north and east.

The threat of sleet and freezing rain Monday stretches along the heavily-populated I-95 Northeast urban corridor, including the New Jersey Turnpike, making the Monday morning commute potentially challenging, according to The Weather Channel.
