A cold weather advisory from the NWS goes into effect from 10pm tonight till 10am tomorrow morning. Highs today before an arctic frontal passage will get close to freezing in spots before dropping quickly by late afternoon. We should fall to the teens during the 7pm hour and near single digits by midnight tonight. Lows tonight should be near 4 degrees above zero and we recover tomorrow to no higher than 15 to 17 degrees. Wind chills near 10 below tomorrow. The well-advertised snowstorm arrives after midnight tomorrow night and could last into Monday morning. Most of Chester County will transition from heavy snow to heavy sleet during the late afternoon on Sunday. This will stop fast accumulating snow and move the area to slow accumulating sleet which does count as snow accumulation....be sure to clean off your snowboards when the snow turns to sleet. Once the storm passes on Monday we will see little melting for at least the next week - in fact, models are hinting we may not see another above freezing day till Groundhog Day in early February. Oh, and indeed I do not think we have seen our last snow event either.

Yes, it’s suppressed to the Carolinas. At this range, I’d rather it be suppressed to Jamaica.

A significant winter storm will impact the area starting after midnight tonight. Arctic air has spread across the area with most spots still in single digits here in the 9am hour. We won’t warm much today with an outside shot at a station or 2 recording a top 5 coldest maximum temperature for the day. Highs generally in the middle teens above zero. Snow probably begins during the 2am hour from SW to NE across the area. It will be snowing heavily by daybreak, and we should see many spots accumulating at least 6” of snow by 10am. After 10am we should see a quick change from south to north to a prolonged period of accumulating sleet which will slowly add to our snow totals. It is possible that some areas of southern Chesco could see up to 3” of sleet on top of the snow that had previously fallen. Sleet could mix with the snow at times by later tomorrow night before ending by 11pm. The NWS has a forecast for 8” to 12” of snow/sleet accumulation across the area. Southern Chesco could see some freezing rain, but those amounts look light at this time. We stay very cold all week following the storm so little melting will take place as temperatures will remain well below freezing for at least the next week. I expect many valley locations to see some morning with lows below zero.image.png.caa949c5bd049d7417cc552cfeb67b96.pngimage.thumb.png.42018b218698059974dffa9054bc42cc.png

AI GFS is a bomb cyclone for the feb 1-2. So close to a big hit here but scoots NE just under the region grazing us.

On to the operational gfs

lol imagine watching the models past 48 hours and thinking anything of that sort with happen. “The big ones are sniffed out at long range” is a myth.
