Discussion

An ugly week of weather has begun in the Philly metro region with chilly conditions and periods of rain expected for today, tonight, tomorrow, and Wednesday…some of it can be heavy at times and it doesn’t end there. Even colder air will push into the area on Wednesday night and Thursday, riding in on strong winds, and there can be some rain and/or snow shower activity to go along with the chill in the air. This blast of winter-like weather from later Wednesday into Thursday is likely to result in accumulating snow across upstate NY and interior New England - keeping ski season alive and well up there for awhile longer.
