Discussion

High pressure will remain in control of the weather here today, but it shifts off the coast by tomorrow and that opens the door for moisture to head this way from our southwest. Low pressure will gather strength on Tuesday and head towards the coastal waters of the Mid-Atlantic region. With this more southern track compared to recent storms, cold air will be better established in the Mid-Atlantic region and pushed farther to the south leading to a snow event in the Philly metro region likely from mid-to-late afternoon into Wednesday. Accumulations are likely in the 2-5 inch range with the lower amounts in that range to the north and west and the higher amounts to the south and east. Another storm threatens to bring snow, ice and rain to the area from Wednesday evening into Thursday as this on-going active pattern continues.
