Another round of accumulating snow is expected to hit the region, starting late Tuesday afternoon and continuing through Wednesday morning’s commute. This winter storm is likely to create hazardous travel conditions, making it important for residents to exercise caution on the roads.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for South Jersey and all of Delaware starting Tuesday afternoon and lasting until Wednesday afternoon.
Snow will be starting late Tuesday and continuing overnight into Wednesday morning as a storm develops over the Deep South. The precipitation will begin in Delaware and New Jersey before spreading northward.
What areas will get the most snow?
The forecast predicts that the heaviest snowfall will occur in Delaware and southern New Jersey, particularly near the shore. In these areas, it is anticipated that 4 to 6 inches of snow will accumulate. Moving closer to Philadelphia and the I-95 corridor, we can expect 2 to 3 inches of snow, while across the Lehigh Valley, 1 to 2 inches are forecasted.
As of Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025, these are the anticipated snowfall amounts:
Delaware and South Jersey are expected to receive a snowfall of 3 to 6 inches.
In Philadelphia, the expected snowfall is between 3 to 5 inches.
In the Pennsylvania suburbs, the expected snowfall is between 2 to 3 inches.
In the Lehigh Valley, residents can expect to see a snowfall of about 1 to 2 inches.
Traveling on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning could be dangerous, particularly in areas south and east of Philadelphia. The snowfall during this time may be moderate to heavy at times, potentially resulting in snow-covered and slippery roads. As a result, the morning commute could be quite challenging.
After the storm passes on Wednesday morning, there will be an improvement in conditions. However, there may still be some travel issues due to remaining snow and icy spots. It is expected that many people will wake up to find their cars, walkways, and driveways covered in snow, necessitating some clean-up before they can head to work or school.
More wintry weather on the way
The snow is expected to diminish by early Wednesday afternoon, with a majority of the snow that accumulates on the ground being washed away by cold rain later on Wednesday night into Thursday morning. It’s worth noting that northern neighborhoods may experience some icy precipitation during this second storm.
Expect a wintry mix on Saturday, followed by rain continuing into Sunday.
