Allentown, PA – A winter storm warning remains in effect for eastern Pennsylvania, including Lehigh, Berks, and Bucks counties, until 1 a.m. on Monday. Heavy snow is expected to add 3 to 5 inches of accumulation, with rates of one inch per hour this evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey, the storm is causing hazardous travel conditions, particularly on bridges and overpasses.
Blowing snow may significantly reduce visibility, and temperatures are expected to drop into the teens overnight, resulting in icy and slippery roads even after the snow has stopped.
Residents are advised to exercise caution, as conditions may remain dangerous for several days. The warning applies to cities such as Allentown, Reading, and West Chester, where drivers are advised to prepare for emergencies by keeping flashlights, food, and water in their vehicles.
Travelers should call 511 for local updates and to check road conditions. With temperatures unlikely to rise above freezing this week, cleanup efforts will be hampered, and icy conditions are expected to persist.
