Discussion

Low pressure to our north will produce accumulating snow in the area early today and then a mixed bag of precipitation is likely before it all winds down around mid-day…watch for slick spots through the morning, accumulations of a coating to an inch or so. After clearing skies tonight, the mid-week looks to be dry and chilly in the Philly metro region and then there can be a touch of light precipitation on Thursday, Christmas Day, from another “clipper” system that moves from northwest-to-southeast. A more impactful low pressure is likely here at the end of the week with significant ice or accumulating snow on the table as strong high pressure positioned to our north acts as a source of cold air for the northeastern states.
