Philly Winter Storm Update

Still on track for a significant snowstorm starting later on Friday.  Here’s the latest.

It looks like the snow will start a bit later, closer to evening on Friday, according to tonight’s GFS and NAM models.  Significant snow accumulation likely by Saturday evening.

The snow may linger into Sunday morning, according to tonight’s GFS model.

High winds with drifting likely.  This afternoon’s  GFS snow algorithm was predicting over 20 inches for the I-95 corridor …. Too soon to take this literally, but it gives you an idea what we’re potentially dealing with.

Storm Outlook

A quick update.  Too early to really call this but the latest GFS model has (at least) 12-15 inches of snow starting some time after noon Friday and lasting into Saturday night. Expect changes with this forecast.

Tues 7 PM update:  Snow starts between noon and  5 PM Friday.   Looks more like only snow and less chance of a mix for Philadelphia and north and west.  It may end earlier- early Saturday evening instead of lingering.   That’s the current picture.
