As we head into next week we have another threat for snow and this one could be a much bigger system then the one we had this morning. Mainly because temperatures will be colder and it is also a completely different type of storm, a coastal low as opposed to clipper with extra energy off the coast. Lets look at is what happening outside, we will go outside to bethlehem where road are wet, that was great news about todays storm it made everything look beautiful but road really faired well.

Two pieces of energy will come together or phase off the coast heading in to next tuesday. Question is when does that phase happen and where will actual track of the storm be. System will be dependent on the exact track. As of right now heres what we know, we have any to tuesday, two pieces of energy phasing, heavy snow is likely for at lee part of our area if not our entire area but the track of that low will determine location of heaviest snow. If the track is furthere it is heavy snow threat for coast. If it is inland it could could be a rain snow situation. If the track is perfect for noreaster it could mean heavy snow for all of us.
