A light wintry mix pushed through the state Sunday Night, dropping anything from plain rain in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia to sleet across much of the Lower Susquehanna Valley and Lehigh Valley along with up to two inches of snow in higher elevations of the Central and Western PA.
Now, our focus shifts to another wintry mix event expected Tuesday Evening through Wednesday Morning. Both the European Model and the American Model had been very consistent in showing very different solutions up until last night. However a consensus throughout the models has developed today. Overall, the GFS (American Model) will take the prize as the usually persistent and top notch European Model has folded to the GFS Solution.
This now means the dominant precipitation type in Southcentral and Southeast Pennsylvania will be rain. As originally expected, Southwestern Pennsylvania will see rain as well. As you work your way up into the Pocono Region and west into the Northern PA Mountains, you will run into some wintry weather. Here is our Map Forecast.
