The first winter storm of the season that brought 7″ of snow all the way down to South Texas is now less than 18 hours away from us! Guidance and observations continue to suggest a northwest jog with the precipitation field, leading to more snow for many areas in Pennsylvania, especially Southeast PA. Over the last 48 hours, model guidance has trended roughly 300 miles northwest with tomorrow’s system leading to a “surprise snowstorm” for many of us.
Two pieces of energy that we mentioned yesterday, one down in the South and the other in the Midwest, are anticipated to merge farther south than originally expected. This has led to the northwest shift over the last 48 hours.
Snow will begin to fall over Southeast PA during the mid-morning hours tomorrow. Below is the latest HRRR model valid 9:00 AM:
