WEATHER ALERT: More Freezing Rain in Store for Evening Commute

A slippery Monday morning commute is just the beginning for drivers in Bucks and Montgomery counties.

More freezing rain is headed our way and will likely make the evening commute just as treacherous, forecasters say.

The National Weather Service, which has issued a Winter Weather Advisory through Tuesday at 6 a.m., says more freezing rain and sleet is predicted to fall in the region Monday afternoon and night.

The Weather Channel says freezing rain and a wintry mix will begin around 3 p.m. By 11 p.m., the precipitation will change over to light snow, according to the Weather Channel.

PennDOT is warning drivers to use caution while driving Monday.

“Remember roads may look wet, however it could be black ice. Make sure to pay particular attention to bridges, overpasses and shaded areas on roadways where icy spots can form,” PennDOT said on Facebook.

The Philadelphia Inquirer said numerous accidents were reported throughout Bucks County Monday morning due to the icy conditions.
