FORECAST SUMMARY

We are tracking a very isolated and occasional freezing rain for Monday afternoon. This will cause a layer of ice on the roads and sidewalks for the few places they receive in the afternoon.

The highs will be just below zero on Monday.

At night, at the very end of the rush hour, more places will start to see the freezing weather.

Between about 6pm Monday to 6am, Tuesday is when you want to stay off the road.

Freezing rain is widespread on Monday night and will last for hours. Therefore, it will be very cold on Monday night and Tuesday morning.

Some spots, such as the Philadelphia area and Bucks, Montgomery and Chester counties, will change to pure rain after 2 am

The freezing rain and normal rain end on Tuesday morning during rush hour, but it will still be an icy trip to much of the area because of all the ice we have at night.

You can follow the cold weather with our interactive radar. The 69News Weather App points the radar directly at your location.

The National Meteorological Service has many winter weather alerts to warn everyone of the general cold on Monday night.

Tuesday afternoon, we’re dry. We will even see a little sun at sunset.

The sky is sunny all day on Wednesday.

Take advantage of the clearer sky on Wednesday night and head out to see Mars beside the crescent moon.

On Thursday, an off-road vehicle and a small drone helicopter landed on Mars. This will be the first time that something will fly on Mars, and NASA hopes the rover will help answer once and for all: Was there life on Mars? The rover will be looking for ancient fossils in a dry lake.

Back here at home on the farm, we will see more snow in the morning for a few hours. Then, it will switch to some irregular freezing rain to cause some ice on top of the snow.

Then, freezing rain changes to normal rain on Thursday at dinner time.

After that, we will have pure rain on Thursday night and all day on Friday. Temperatures reach 40 degrees for the first time in two weeks.

But, the rain ends with a cold front, so the next weekend is cold.

Look for sunny skies and highs in the 1930s this coming weekend.
