Groundhog Day 2025: Will Punxsutawney Phil See His Shadow Monday Morning?

Punxsutawney Phil will emerge from his burrow Monday morning to deliver his annual weather prediction. The famous groundhog's appearance at Gobbler's Knob in Pennsylvania happens at sunrise on February 2nd.

According to tradition, if Phil sees his shadow, winter continues for six more weeks. No shadow means an early spring is coming.

The Blinded Veterans Association reminds community members that multiple live streams will broadcast the event. Radio coverage also provides full audio descriptions of the ceremony.

The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club has maintained this tradition since 1887. Phil's predictions have varied over the decades, though meteorologists note his accuracy rate sits around 40 percent.

For those tired of cold weather, Monday's prediction offers either hope for warmer days or preparation for extended winter conditions. The ceremony typically draws thousands of spectators to the small Pennsylvania town.
