Last week we went through a temperature see-saw that ended up with us back in the ice box. Sunday we saw our first region-wide snowfall, albeit a light one. Most of us saw a coating of up to an inch, with a couple inches dropping near the Shore. This week starts very cold, but our attention will be on a storm that will affect us on Friday. This storm could provide large amounts of snow and rain to the area.
Friday-Saturday Storm Discussion: This storm is going to drop feet of snow on someone in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast and will most likely turn into an all out blizzard! Now Philly, as always, will be on the edge of the worst snow impacts from the storm, but at least 6 inches of snow is likely to fall. If the storm comes inland, Philly would go over to rain after getting 6-10 inches of snow. If the storm is all snow, we would see unprecedented amounts of snow. The exact snowfall details are unknown, so follow our daily forecast updates on Facebook and Twitter. Either way, expect snow to begin on Friday afternoon, with storm impacts lasting until Sunday morning. Buckle up folks, this is gonna be a fun ride!
Wednesday starts our week in the icebox; brisk and cold as temperatures struggle to get to 30.
Thursday is a touch “warmer” as temperatures nudge up to the middle 30s. It will still feel cold though.
On Friday we wait for the arrival of a storm that looks to pack a big punch across the region. Snow should start around 2 PM and get very heavy in the evening. Significant snow accumulation is possible.
The storm rages on Saturday with heavy snow in the morning possibly mixing with and changing to rain before changing back to snow before ending. It will be very windy as well. We could see more big time snow accumulation!
Sunday features the end of the snow in the early AM and, along with Monday, will be the calm after the big storm. It will be cold with some sunshine both days.
On Tuesday we watch as clouds increase and rain or snow is possible in the evening. The bottom line is we are in a very stormy and wintry pattern.
The weather winner of the week is Monday; the weather loser is Saturday.
