Good evening everyone! Winter is here, and that means school predictions are returning! Snow is in the forecast for tomorrow morning and as a result our season’s first school prediction has been issued.
Model guidance and the National Weather Service are expecting snowfall during the morning bus runs tomorrow morning. While some model guidance suggest 1 inch of snowfall, with isolated 2 inches amounts, the issue is air temperatures for most will be above freezing, especially ground temperatures too. Therefore, around half an inch on non-paved surfaces is a more likely outcome and this is what the National Weather Service in essence has.
As far as school impacts go, I do think most will stay on time tomorrow, at least for the districts that are lower in elevation, due to temperatures. That said, I do think Pocono Mountain has a decent chance at a delay. Of interest, Hazleton did announce a delay for tomorrow, but historically they tend to be cautious and higher elevated.
The holiday season is here: if you are looking for a unique gift, I recommend checking out our Premium site! The site not only provides predictions for NEPA counties but now features county-level predictions across the Northeast United States. New local features are actively in the works and membership supports these new additions. Check it out!
I’ll keep an eye out for alerts this evening and into tomororw morning. Thank you everyone for the support, it feels good to be back in action, and have a great rest of your evening!
