Discussion

Low pressure will develop off the Southeast US coast line later today and ride northeastward over the next 24 hours to a position off the New England coast on Saturday. This system will bring rain to the Philly metro region from later this evening into early Saturday and then some clearing will take place during the afternoon. An Arctic front arrives late Sunday and this will have strong upper-level support with it and the result should be some snow shower activity or steady light snow in the region late Sunday and Sunday night. Much colder air follows this next Arctic frontal passage for the early and middle parts of next week - the coldest air so far this season - and there can be another storm threatening us at the end of next week or during the following weekend.
