Discussion
A wintry mix of snow and ice pushes in early tomorrow morning from southwest-to-northeast likely arriving between about 7 and 9am in the Philly metro region. The movement of the precipitation means it will begin first in places like West Grove and Chadds Ford (Chester County) and last in places like Doylestown and New Hope (Bucks County). Small accumulations of snow and ice are likely tomorrow morning; especially, in the normally colder far northern and western suburbs…watch out for slick spots, the ground has been cold lately.
Low pressure will form over the Carolinas on Thursday and then intensify as it moves near or over the Delmarva Peninsula tomorrow night to a position just off Long Island by mid-day Friday. As the developing storm intensifies near the Delmarva Peninsula later tomorrow, easterly winds will increase here and pump in milder maritime air causing a changeover of the precipitation to plain rain. The rain can get quite heavy by tomorrow night and winds will be quite strong off the ocean with coastal flooding a possibility. The rain winds down on Friday morning and it turns colder this weekend.
