Discussion
A powerful ocean storm will form later this week as the overall weather pattern undergoes some significant changes across North America with strong high-latitude blocking setting up to our north. As a result of the developing high-latitude blocking, this storm will be a slow-mover and it is likely to bring soaking rain and increasing winds to the local area from later Thursday into Friday. As colder air wraps into the storm on Friday, there may be a changeover to snow or snow showers before the system slowly pulls away to our southeast early this weekend. Higher elevation locations like the Poconos are quite likely to see some accumulating heavy, wet snow from this storm on Friday.
