Good evening everyone and Happy Wednesday! Attached is the FINAL Prediction for Thursday, Febraury 13, 2025.
There were some cancellation of activities this afternoon. As far as I could tell (and please correct me here), East Stroudsburg and Pocono Mountain cancelled activities and I do not see any notification from Pleasant Valley nor Stroudsburg, so I am assuming a Regular Day for them.
A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect until 10 AM Thursday. The National Weather Service continues to suggest up to one inch of snow/sleet and up to 0.10 inches of freezing rain is possible. This is going to be highly-dependent on elevation. The lower elevations will likely be on the lower end of these expectations and will go above freezing by 4/5 AM. However, the oppossite can be said for the higher elevation districts (Pocono Mountain, and sometimes East Stroudsburg), where temperatures could stay below freezing until 7/8 AM or later.
Considering these factors, I am thinking a mixed bag of reactions are likely. I do think Stroudsburg and Pleasant Valley are the most likely to delay and I do think Pocono Mountain has a very decent chance at closing. East Strourdsburg is a question mark for me and I cannot rule out another district closing out of percaution either. Therefore, this is a situation where I do think the 50/50 probabilities, as much as I dislike doing them, is justified.
Keep an eye out for alerts tonight into tomorrow morning. Be safe everyone and have a great rest of your evening. Thanks again for the support!
