... WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...

 

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH... WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING.

 

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY FRIDAY AND THEN REDEVELOP OFF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST FRIDAY NIGHT BEFORE MOVING FARTHER OFFSHORE ON SATURDAY. AN ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM TO ITS NORTH IS EXPECTED TO PROVIDE A FRESH SUPPLY OF COLD AIR FOR THIS SYSTEM.

 

THE RESULT IS A POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY SNOW ON FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. SNOW SHOULD ARRIVE BY DAYBREAK ON FRIDAY. WARMER AIR MOVING IN ALOFT MIGHT MIX OR CHANGE THE SNOW OVER TO SLEET AND POSSIBLY EVEN FREEZING RAIN. THIS IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN THE LEHIGH VALLEY AND ALONG THE INTERSTATE 80 CORRIDOR. THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION SHOULD TAPER OFF BY FRIDAY EVENING. THE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING COMMUTE WILL BE DIFFICULT AT BEST.

 

INITIAL ESTIMATES FOR SNOW AND SLEET ACCUMULATIONS ARE 6 TO 12 INCHES WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

 

PLEASE USE THE REST OF TODAY AND THURSDAY TO MAKE THE NECESSARY PREPARATIONS. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE THE MOST WIDESPREAD AND DISRUPTIVE WINTER STORM OF THE SEASON SO FAR.

 

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW... SLEET... OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS.

The one weather model forecast, NAM, had a little over an inch of precip for Scranton/Avoca airport and it was all snow.

 

Hope it plays out.

This only happens if when the low slams into the high it flattens the high, most models actually show this storm tracking around PA. I pray to god this nukes us.
