Philadelphia Winter Weather Update

I know what the official NWS forecast is for Philadelphia, but people need to know that there are EXTREME differences between the GFS  and NAM models.  When I’ve seen this before, it means the storm can fizzle out for our area.

While the NWS is warning of high snow totals for PHL, (and the NAM supports this), the more reliable GFS has the bulk of the storm missing Philadelphia. If the GFS is correct, we only get a few inches of snow here in PHL.

You’ve heard the real story here.  Let’s see what happens.

Weather Update

Latest models crank out well over an inch of rain for areas around PHL and east into NJ on Sunday.  There is an increased possibility that there will be a changeover to snow before ending late afternoon. Surface temperatures will still be above freezing, so little or no accumulation is expected.
