Philadelphia area school closings for winter storm

NEXT Weather: Winter storm to bring snow to Philadelphia region 03:59

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Rain is expected to turn into snow overnight throughout the greater Philadelphia area.

However, when it comes to this round of snow, our NEXT Weather team said the duration won’t be too long. But when it does snow for those few hours Tuesday, the weather will surely pack a punch for some parts of Pennsylvania.

The deeper we get into the evening Monday, the heavier the rain will become. Once midnight hits, this rain will transition over into snow, starting in the northwest and making its way down into the southeast.

A Winter Storm Warning goes into effect at midnight until 3 p.m. Tuesday for most of the Philly region. A Winter Weather Advisory will go into effect from 3 a.m. to 3 p.m. along the I-95 corridor.

At around 3 a.m., our NEXT Weather radar forecasts snow will already be falling in the Poconos and Lehigh Valley, and will begin to transition over for upper Montgomery and upper Bucks counties.
