Blustery, cold weather continues in Philadelphia area, tracking the next chance for snow
The frigid, icy conditions will continue to be the dominating weather story around the Philadelphia region. Winds will gust 25 mph or more again on Wednesday and Thursday, keeping the wind chills in the teens and 20s all day.
Be sure to layer significantly if headed out for any extended period of time. The rest of the work week remains cold and windy but generally dry, with some sunshine likely each day.
Philadelphia has issued a Code Blue until further notice due to the cold and opened 20 warming centers around the city for people to find heated shelter.
Looking ahead to the weekend, we've issued a NEXT Weather Alert for the likelihood of at least light snow Saturday.
There is a possible storm signal as a low will develop off to our south. Weekend model runs indicated the potential for this storm to come north as a Nor'easter and bring the chance of heavy snow, but 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.
These trends can still shift. With the potential for a storm nearby, your NEXT Weather team will be monitoring closely and keeping you prepared and protected.
