Trenton 30 and reading 29. So satellite 6 and action radar showing snow showers moving through now. As you look near pittsburgh though you can see another line of snow. Thats an arctic boundary that will be moving through tomorrow morning. So future tracker showing as it moves through dont be surprised around 6 00 if you do get a blossom of some brief snow showers as a front moves through. Really main impact will be the cold air to follow. Temperatures are crashing at noon, about 37 degrees. Not so bad. But then by midnight down to 17.

The latest models show its more likely that this will track just to our south and that would bring a major snowstorm to parts of midatlantic. Theres still a chance that cold air suppresses it further down to the south and the heavy snow will be across virginia, North Carolina and we would get a brush of snow. What does it look like as far as amounts. Were three days out. Theres wiggle room. But theres a pretty good consensus of computer models rights around 6 of snow. So right now im calling for again early call, 3 to 6 but theres potential for more than that if that storm system is just to the south and we dont got a lot of mixing again three days out ill keep you posted and super bowl parties you may be driving home in the snow. The exclusive accuweather 7day forecast wind and crashing temperatures, 38. Saturday the high. 2 degrees. Wind chills in the low teens. On sunday it clouds up.
