Discussion

An ugly stretch of weather continues in the Philly metro region with chilly conditions and periods of rain expected right into Thursday and some of the rain will be heavy at times. In addition, a couple of thunderstorms can mix into the picture as we go through the next few days. As low pressure intensifies off the New England coastline, enough cold air may push in late Wednesday night and Thursday to see snowflakes mix in with the rain in parts of the local area. Farther north, accumulating snow is likely during the mid-week across upstate NY and interior New England keeping the ski season alive and well up there for the foreseeable future. The weather here remains on the chilly and unsettled side on Friday and then it quiets down this weekend and turns slightly milder.
