Snow flurries originally expected to affect Tuesday’s evening commute will hit the region a little later than expected, forecasters say.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for Philly and the surrounding suburbs, in effect until 7 a.m. Wednesday. The city could see a mix of rain and snow starting late Tuesday night and lasting through the morning on Wednesday.

Though only about 1 to 2 inches of snowfall accumulation are expected in Philly, forecasters say slippery travel conditions are possible during the morning commute, especially near the I-95 corridor. Check 511pa.com for travel updates.
Some good news: Temperatures will likely warm in time for the Eagles game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, when the high is expected to hover around 54 degrees Fahrenheit.
