Groundhog Day 2024: Predicting Punxsutawney Phil's Shadow Outcome

On February 2, 2024, Punxsutawney Phil will make his annual weather prediction in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. If he sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of winter; if not, an early spring is forecasted. Despite a 39% accuracy rate, the tradition, dating back to the 1880s, continues to captivate many. Other animal forecasters have also emerged, offering their own predictions. FOX Weather will cover the Groundhog Day festivities, with live reporting from Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney by FOX News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean.
