The first significant snowfall for the 2025-2026 winter season is on the horizon for south-central Pennsylvania, with predictions of wintry weather in the coming days. A storm expected to arrive on Sunday, November 30, is likely to bring mainly rain to the York area, as temperatures are anticipated to be too warm for snow accumulation, with a high of 41 degrees, according to AccuWeather meteorologist Alyssa Glenny. However, areas north of Harrisburg may experience some wet snowflakes.
On Tuesday, December 2, York and Adams counties could see a wintry mix, including a light accumulation of snow. York might receive a coating to an inch of snow, while higher elevations, particularly in Adams County, could experience more significant snowfall. The expected high temperature for Tuesday is near 34 degrees, which may result in a mix of snow, sleet, and rain.
With many students returning to school after the Thanksgiving holiday break, travel conditions could be affected by the impending wintry weather early next week. Meanwhile, the Washington, D.C. to New York corridor is forecasted to face heavy rainfall during Tuesday’s storm.
Meteorologists continue to monitor temperature changes that may influence the weather forecast, providing updates as the situation develops. This early onset of winter weather brings both challenges and a sense of seasonal anticipation for residents in the region.
