What comes next? Weather Tuesday night in Philadelphia region
Temperatures remain above freezing in the afternoon for much of the region, encouraging some of this accumulated snow to melt. It'll stay colder in the Lehigh Valley.
Overnight, temperatures will drop below freezing across the region - which could lead to refreezing on many roads. This shouldn't impact your evening commute, but if you're out driving later - say past 10 p.m. or so - use caution as there may be icy spots.
