Wintry precipitation remains a near-certainty for the Lehigh Valley region after Christmas, but how much snow and ice will fall remains in flux, according to forecasters. A winter storm watch remains in effect for Friday afternoon through Saturday morning.

A winter weather advisory has been issued for Lapeer, Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, Washtenaw and Wayne counties from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 26. Freezing rain and sleet are the main issues, but freezing rain is the primary concern for Southeast Michigan at the moment.

It’s not a white Christmas. But it will be a white weekend — at least around here. An area of low pressure is expected to approach the tri-state area Friday, bringing accumulating snow late Friday afternoon into Saturday morning,

PennDOT has announced travel restrictions on a number of state roads ahead of a winter storm expected to bring up to 6 inches of snow to the area Friday and Saturday.
