Wilkes-Barre, PA – A late-season wintry mix is expected to move through Northeast Pennsylvania Sunday night, turning to snow and potentially disrupting Monday morning routines.
According to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, snow is expected to begin late Sunday evening and intensify overnight as colder air settles into the region.
Snowfall accumulations of 1 to 2 inches are expected in Wilkes-Barre, Montrose, and Scranton, with grassy and elevated surfaces receiving the most snow.
Snowfall is expected to subside by mid-morning Monday. Temperatures will drop to the upper 20s to low 30s overnight, causing slick spots on untreated roads during early commutes.
Daytime Highs Monday will only reach the low 40s before another blast of cold air arrives Monday night, dropping temperatures back into the 20s by early Tuesday.
Residents should expect brief but significant travel delays during the Monday morning rush.
Officials recommend adding extra commute time, exercising caution on bridges and overpasses, and checking for local school or municipal delays.
This early April system follows a weekend of rain showers and above-average temperatures.
Winter weather gear may be required again, but milder weather is expected to return by Thursday across the region.
