However, an Arctic high will also be in place that could prevent the bulk of the storm from hitting our area.
We will continue to monitor this system over the next few days to see how it develops.
Either way, it will be a brutally cold weekend with highs in the teens to near 20.
Timing of potential weekend snowstorm in the Philadelphia region
Because the system is still several days away, it’s still unknown when – or if – it will hit.
The cold weather will continue into the following week, leaving little chance for any snow we get this weekend to melt.
