Philadelphia, PA – The National Weather Service is monitoring a developing winter storm expected to impact much of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast this weekend, with the potential for 6 inches or more of snow in several areas.
According to the NWS Mount Holly office, confidence in a significant winter event is rising, with snow most likely to begin Saturday night and continue through Sunday night. The agency notes that cold air will remain in place, allowing snow to accumulate quickly as temperatures stay below freezing.
Forecast models show the highest probabilities for heavy snow extending from eastern Pennsylvania through northern New Jersey into southern New York, where some locations have a 50–70% chance of 6 inches or more. Areas farther south, including Delaware and Maryland, could still see moderate impacts and travel disruptions.
Meteorologists caution that details on storm track and snow totals may shift as the weekend approaches, but residents are urged to prepare for hazardous travel, possible school or business disruptions, and reduced visibility.
“Stay weather aware,” the NWS said in its Monday morning update.
