Significant Coastal Snowstorm for Saturday, Snow Totals Upgraded

What looked to be a near miss for Southeast PA a couple days ago, now looks like a moderate snowfall event, with significant to even major totals along the coast. Over the last 36-48 hours, there has been a consistent Northwest trend with how far the snow bands extend Northwest into PA. With that said, we have upgraded and pushed our zones farther Northwest into PA from our previous call last night.

Below is the latest RGEM valid 1 PM Tomorrow Afternoon, representing the shift Northwest well:

Josh has been passionate about weather as long as his memory dates! From watching the Weather Channel at age 7, to making hand-drawn hurricane maps at age 11, starting his first weather site at 13, and founding PWA at 15 and forecasting for the state for the past 9 years, Josh's interest in weather has never dwindled! As difficult as it is, he greatly enjoys forecasting for Pennsylvania due to its countless microclimates. The state is an East Coast severe weather hotspot and nearly always home to the rain/snow line during winter storms!
