As frigid temperatures take over the region Monday night, watch out for wintry precipitation and slippery roads.

The National Weather Service reports “dangerously cold temperatures” across the United States on Monday with colder wind chills Tuesday ahead of another Artic blast later in the week.

Here’s what to expect in Bucks County and surrounding regions.

Prepare for a frigid start to the work week

Snow is expected to arrive Monday evening after 7 p.m., continue into Monday night, and possibly will to switch to mixed precipitation Tuesday midday along the I-95 corridor.  Accumulation for Bucks County and Philadelphia is expected to be 1 to 3 inches.

While snow is expected to modestly accumulate, warmer, dryer air is expected to move into the area overnight, which could limit just how much snow we see on the ground.

The National Weather Service advises drivers to slow down and use caution while traveling. If you need the latest road conditions in your area, call 511.

There is a low probability of widespread hazardous weather in the county on Monday, but minor coastal flooding is possible on Tuesday, according to the weather service.

Looking ahead, more significant snowfall could be arriving Friday into Saturday.
