All the St. Patrick’s Day green could be covered up in white as yet another winter storm is set to blanket parts of the area in snow.
NBC10 First Alert Meteorologist Glenn “Hurricane” Schwartz says the winter weather system has a 60 percent chance of dropping 4 inches of snow or more by Monday across a large portion of the area.
The storm, which developed off the west coast of the United States, is currently racing across the country and should arrive by Sunday evening delivering a mix of snow, sleet and rain. However, the worst of the storm won’t come until overnight, Hurricane says.
The morning rush could be affected by the storm, depending on how much snow actually falls.
The latest computer models show that much of South Jersey and Delaware could see the worst of the storm. According to Hurricane, those areas have a 60 percent chance of getting the highest accumulations.
Philadelphia and parts of the Pa. suburbs have a lesser chance, 40 percent, of seeing more than 4 inches of snow from the storm. And Hurricane says the Lehigh Valley may not see any snow at all.
Earlier on Friday, the storm had been taking a more northern track, but a shift south moved the target.
Hurricane says the snow will continue to fall until around 1 p.m. Monday the storm finally moves out. The winds will pick up, however.
As the storm moves closer, Hurricane says the NBC10 First Alert Weather Team will be able to gather more data about just how much snow will fall.
