More Snow Forecast As New Winter Storm Heads To PA

PENNSYLVANIA - Snow lovers can rejoice knowing there’s another potential round of snowfall on its way to Pennsylvania this week.

After a fierce winter storm dropped over 13 inches of snow on parts of the state, the next round is poised to hit the state Friday night into Saturday, bringing with it a 40 percent chance of 1 inch of snow or more for southeast Pennsylvania, the National Weather Service said in a forecast discussion.

“The current timing … would make snow the dominant precipitation type across the majority of the region,” the weather service said. “However, the quick moving nature of the system (looking to exit the region around midday Saturday) means that accumulation will likely remain somewhat limited.”

The Weather Channel's prediction tracks similarly, with Saturday's forecast noting snow showers before noon in Bucks County.

If you’re planning to venture outside on Valentine’s Day, expect sunny, dry skies and highs in the 30s — although wind gusts up to 25 mph will make the air feel chillier.

Thursday will be mostly clear with highs around 40 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. A dusting of snow is also in the cards for eastern Pennsylvania and North Jersey into Friday morning, though those impacts will be “limited” and taper off by daybreak Friday, forecasters said.

Here’s the latest forecast, according to the National Weather Service:

Wednesday: Sunny, with a high near 39. Northwest wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.

Wednesday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 21. Northwest wind 5 to 10 mph.
