PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A Winter Storm Warning and Winter Weather Advisory go into effect very early tomorrow morning as parts of the region brace for heavy snow.
TODAY: Very cold start, sun gives way to late day clouds, high 34. Feeling at best between 20-25.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with snow developing after midnight, low 26.
Monday's storm is currently moving through the Central Plains. It will continue to track due east bringing a swath of snow and ice across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic.
MONDAY: Steady light snow falling for most of the daylight hours. Temperatures stay below freezing, high 30.
Here are the bullet points:
- Snow develops after midnight and will impact the morning and evening commutes.
- Light, but steady snow falls during the daylight hours.
- There doesn't look to be any one period of really heavy snow so that is good news for keeping up on the roads.
- Temperatures will be below freezing so snow will stick and make untreated surfaces slippery.
- Snow tapers off Monday night
- There will be a very tight snowfall gradient across our area from less than 1" in the Poconos to over 6" in parts of Delaware and South Jersey.
We'll be watching for dry air that likely filters into northern locations tomorrow afternoon. This could allow for a lull in activity allow for less snow to fall and accumulate.
TUESDAY: Behind Monday's storm it's a windy day with 40mph gusts possible. Any snow on the ground will blow which could make for reduced visibility and slick sidewalks, roads and driveways. It's a sunny day, but unseasonably cold, high 30.
WEDNESDAY: Sunny, windy and cold, high 31. Wind chill values will likely be in the teens.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny, windy and cold, high 31. Wind chill values are expected to be in the teens.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny and breezy, high 36.
SATURDAY: Temperatures remain below average with increasing clouds. We're watching the potential for a storm, high 35.
SUNDAY: More sun than clouds, still chilly. High 38.
