WEATHER ALERT: Wintry Mix Could Make a Mess of Roads

This one could be plain messy - especially when you’re driving home from that Super Bowl party.

There is a 100 percent chance of a snowy, icy wintry mix Sunday night, which could impact the Monday morning commute, the National Weather Service said Sunday.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning, saying that the Philadelphia region could see between 1 to 3 inches of snow and up to a quarter inch of ice.

The warning remains in effect from 7 p.m. Sunday -- during the Super Bowl -- through 1 p.m. Monday. The NWS urged drivers to use caution, saying that there could be hazardous travel conditions on Sunday night and Monday. Monday morning’s commute may be particularly difficult, according to the National Weather Service.

This Winter Storm Warning means there is a potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may impact travel.

With the potential for several inches to a foot of snow on the region on Super Bowl Sunday, transportation officials urged drivers to watch weather forecasts and be prepared to change any travel plans.

They also reminded motorists that if they do travel on Sunday they should designate a sober driver ahead of time.

“Many people celebrate with friends and family for the Super Bowl, but no matter the day we need to think safety first,” Acting Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Secretary Leslie S. Richards said. “Drivers should be prepared to stay home if conditions warrant, but regardless of what weather comes, people should never drive impaired by drugs or alcohol.”

PennDOT data shows that last year in Pennsylvania on Super Bowl Sunday there were 287 crashes, with two fatalities in those crashes. Seventeen of the crashes were alcohol-related.

The strengthening storm will carry moisture in from the Pacific Ocean and grab more moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean along the way. The result will be a swath of heavy snow from part of the Mississippi and Ohio valleys to part of the mid-Atlantic and southern New England, according to Accuweather.
