Windy, frigid conditions Thursday in Philadelphia region. Here's the weather forecast.
The frigid conditions, along with icy spots, continue to be the dominating weather story around the Philadelphia region.
Winds will gust 30 mph-plus again and create bitterly cold feels-like temperatures. After single-digit wind chills overnight and into the early morning, the air will feel like the teens, with the feels-like temp maybe reaching 20 degrees Thursday.
Be sure to layer significantly if you're heading out for any extended period of time.
The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches, including coastal Cape May, Atlantic, Ocean and Monmouth counties in New Jersey and coastal Sussex County, Delaware. Gusts could be as high as 45-50 mph there, NWS says.
Clouds will increase late Friday as our next system approaches. Friday won't be quite as windy, but there will still be a breeze and gusts to 25 mph.
Looking ahead to the Saturday snow chance, 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? It's looking less and less likely that snow lovers will get a big dumping of snow out of this one.
Saturday morning will bring scattered snow showers, producing a coating to an inch of snow at most.
That said, we still have a NEXT Weather Alert in place for the potential disruption for drivers.
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.
