A major winter storm is set to impact the Philadelphia area beginning Sunday morning and continuing through Monday, bringing heavy snow and strong winds to the region. The greatest snowfall accumulations are expected just north of the city along the I-95 corridor, including Lower Bucks County and Trenton, as well as areas east of the Delaware River. The rest of the region can expect moderate to locally heavy snowfall. We are forecasting 12″ plus along the i95 corridor in Lower Bucks, Trenton and into NJ. Philadelphia we are thinking 8-12″ as of now.
As a coastal low tracks just offshore Sunday night, winds will intensify, with interior areas seeing sustained winds of 15 to 25 mph, while eastern and southeastern locations may experience winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts exceeding 35 mph. The combination of strong winds and falling snow could produce localized near-blizzard conditions, particularly in the hardest-hit eastern and southeastern areas.
Travel conditions are expected to deteriorate significantly from Sunday into Monday, and residents are strongly encouraged to stay home if possible. School closures are also likely on Monday due to the anticipated hazardous conditions.
I will have updates throughout the day tomorrow.
