A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. Saturday for the Lehigh Valley and Pocono regions, with lingering icy conditions creating potential travel hazards on untreated surfaces.
Temperatures remain cold, with areas north and west of Interstate 95 experiencing mid to upper 20s.
The National Weather Service warns that untreated roads, sidewalks, and driveways will likely be slick, particularly in the Philadelphia metro area northward.
Patchy drizzle and freezing drizzle continue to create hazardous conditions, though precipitation largely diminished in the region shortly after sunrise.
Temperatures will slowly rise throughout the day, with most areas expected to climb above freezing by afternoon.
Winds will be gusty, particularly along coastal interfaces, with northeast winds around 10 to 15 mph and potential gusts up to 20 mph.
The day is forecast to be seasonably cold with gradually improving visibility and lifting cloud cover.
Looking ahead, a significant warm-up is expected Sunday into Monday, with temperatures potentially reaching the 50s and lower 60s.
A strong cold front will move through the region Monday, bringing potential rain showers and gusty winds with speeds potentially reaching 40 to 50 mph.
The extended forecast suggests a potential for light snow or snow squalls by Tuesday, primarily in the southern Pocono regions, though current forecasts indicate limited moisture and uncertainty about precipitation.
