Snow, wintry mix expected to hit Montgomery County Tuesday morning

Montgomery County residents should prepare for a mild but wintry dose of weather Tuesday, as forecasters predict a mix of snow, rain, and chilly temperatures that could make travel tricky during the morning commute.

According to the latest forecast, precipitation and light snow is expected to begin as early as the overnight hours and transition between snow and rain across the region. Forecasters warn that the morning hours could bring snow or a wintery mix, possibly sticking around before changing over to rain later in the day. 

Temperatures are expected to hover around freezing during the early morning hours — a prime recipe for slippery roads and patches of sleet or slush.

Local officials and weather watchers urge residents to take some precautions, especially for early-day travel:

• Leave extra time for commuting, particularly Tuesday morning, when snow or a wintry mix could impact visibility and road conditions.
• Mind the changing conditions — what begins as snow could turn quickly to rain, which might create slushy or icy spots, especially on untreated roads or bridges.
• Drivers should consider using winter tires or exercising caution if roads are slick.

This winter-like system comes amid broader forecasts suggesting a more active season than in recent years for the greater Philadelphia region. Some meteorologists believe 2025–2026 could bring more frequent snow and mixed precipitation events to the Mid-Atlantic, though total snowfall may remain below historic averages, according to reports.

Area residents and local drivers are being asked to stay alert, monitor updates, and use caution on the roads. We’ll keep you posted as the forecast evolves through the weekend.
