Clouds increase Friday in Philadelphia region, light snow possible Saturday morning
Clouds will increase late Friday in the Philadelphia region as our next system approaches. Friday won't be quite as windy, but there will still be a breeze and gusts up to 25 mph. Even better, temperatures will top out about 5 degrees above freezing! Yes!
If that doesn't sound like something to get excited about, remember we had feels-like temperatures in the single digits overnight earlier this week.
Looking ahead to the Saturday snow chance, it's looking less and less likely that snow lovers will get a big dumping of snow out of this one! That said, we may get at least some light snow. The latest model trends keep most of the storm to our south, with an intensification happening too late for a major storm over our area.
So what does that mean for us? Saturday morning will bring some light snow or snow showers, which will be able to accumulate easily on cold ground.
It's currently looking like a coating to perhaps a half inch, with possibly a bit more in spots to the south. It isn't looking like anything significant. These trends can still shift, and with the potential for a storm nearby, your NEXT Weather team will be monitoring closely and keeping you prepared and protected.
Next week we briefly warm into the 40s by Monday before heading back down below freezing again for a few days beginning Tuesday.
