A winter storm warning has been issued for Monroe County and neighboring counties by the National Weather Service.
The exception is northern Wayne County, which is now covered by a winter weather advisory.
From Monday night into Tuesday, most of Monroe and Carbon counties are looking at 8 to 12 inches. After increasing the forecast for Mount Pocono and northern Monroe County to 12 to 18 on Monday morning, the NWS office in Philadelphia/Mount Holly has lowered the Mount Pocono total to 12 inches in its Monday afternoon update.
A road in Pocono Township is clear March 11, 2023 after an overnight storm. Monroe County could see up to 18 inches of snow due to another winter storm slated to start Monday night.
Snowfall rates above 1 inch per hour are expected “especially around the Tuesday morning commute, which will make for very hazardous travel conditions,” the NWS said in both Monday briefings.
