** WAVING THE WEEKEND STORM GOODBYE **
After analyzing the latest overnight and early model guidance, I give it an >80% chance that the low-pressure system will head out to sea and keep all impacts out of Pennsylvania. A strong arctic high pressure over southern Canada will feed in much drier and colder air, and the setup to create a fully phasing coastal storm has basically diminished to near-0%. If we had had a full phase occur, this would have been a high-end blizzard for the East Coast and across much of Eastern PA. After last weekend's major winter storm, I think we can all say we need a break (including the meteorologist myself)! The snow piles are running out of room!
Nevertheless, another winter storm is coming for areas in southern Virginia and across the Carolinas, so if you have any family or friends that way, feel free to let them know of those changes! For anyone living in North Carolina, I highly recommend following North Carolina's Weather Authority! If any followers are here along and east of I-95 across the Northeast, I would still monitor the potential within your local meteorologists.
Could this still change? Of course, anything can change; we are still 3 to 4 days away, but the recent trends and the entire pattern evolution don't allow this system to climb up the coastline. We have gotten a better assessment of the pieces with this storm with research missions across Canada and Hurricane Hunter data across the Pacific Ocean, limiting the chance for mass changes.
FINAL POST: This will be the final post regarding this winter storm potential unless I see significant concern for Pennsylvania to receive impacts. Otherwise, we will remain frigid through the remainder of the week, with highs in the single digits to teens and many nights into the negatives to just above zero. Some weak disturbances could bring flurry or light snow chances, but nothing crazy.
