Potential Increasing For Another Significant Winter Storm This Weekend In PA, Forecasters Say

As the Philadelphia region digs out from a major winter storm that passed through on Sunday, forecasters are warning there could be another significant storm in the near forecast that could impact the eastern United States this weekend.

"Potential is increasing for another significant winter storm to impact the eastern United States this coming weekend. It is too early to know the details, but please keep updated with the latest forecasts this week," the National Weather Service's prediction center said.

Cold temperatures are expected to persist in the region through the next week. At the same time, a "high-altitude disturbance" will come out of Canada late in the week, leading to a "strong" surface low-pressure system. "This surface low interacting with the very cold air mass will result in widespread heavy precipitation," the NWS said.

Forecasters say it is still too early to determine specific details about the storm, including track, timing and precipitation amounts.

Meanwhile, a cold weather advisory is in place in the Philadelphia region from Monday night to 10 a.m. Wednesday. During that time, wind chills could be as low as 10 below zero. This could result in hypothermia if precautions are not taken, officials said. Call 211 for assistance locating shelter from the cold.

This news comes as the region experienced snowfall amounts of up to 17 inches during the weekend storm. See snowfall totals for the Philadelphia region.
