Good evening everyone! Attached is the First Prediction for Tuesday, January 8, 2019.
Half to one inch of snow and up to a quarter inch of mixed precipitation (mostly sleet and some freezing rain) is anticipated between 2 and 6 AM Tuesday morning. Unfortunately, the timing will likely cause impacts to the morning bus runs. Temperatures will be below freezing through at least 7 AM, allowing for road accumulations to occur. With these factors in mind, I think delays are the most likely reaction; closings are a possibility if road conditions remain sub-par after 7 AM.
As January evolves, we are expecting to transition into a long term winter pattern from mid-January through February. If you are not a Premium member, especially if you live or commute outside of Monroe County, I highly recommend checking out the site: it is a useful tool to have this winter. It provides school predictions, road impacts, and forecasts for 12 counties across Northeast PA. For Tuesday’s event, it is highlighting which areas are the most susceptible for delays. Take a look!

My plan is to issue the Second Prediction tomorrow morning, followed by the Final Prediction tomorrow evening. Have a great rest of your day and thank you for the support!
