The CMC has been  holding strong and consistent this entire week for Sunday- Monday event, I find that refreshing. The GFS has been floundering and the Euro came back toward the CMC  solution. The totals have been all over the place but it appears 6-8+ in may come more into line later tonight IMHO.  I would post a thread later tonight after the OZ runs if the start aligning with my thoughts 0f 6-8 in. This would be a WSW event. A watch maybe needed by Sat morning if this scenario comes to fruition. The key will be the high snow ratios too. The storm may move quickly but the ratios and cold in place will make for a winter wonderland.

this is my first call from a day ago. I am sticking to it so far and so is MT Holly in their discussion this morning. For the LV the totals may be more in line with 8-12  in with the higher snow ratios that I expect. I expect a winter storm watch by 3pm today  if the trend in the models keep up at 12Z.  The big thing though- blowing snow folks and the biting cold. Many frozen pipes and dead batteries coming next week that is for sure.

I would think we see a Winter Storm Watch by this evening....

Here in Chester County, we have started 2025 off as the 9th coldest January in the last 45 years. Only 2 days so far this year have featured above normal temperatures. Today and tomorrow could be the last above normal days through the end of this month. Some light rain tomorrow that could start as a bit of snow before the main snow event looks to arrive by late Sunday morning. The snow should stop by later Sunday evening. While it is snowing on Sunday temperatures will slowly fall during the afternoon into the teens by Sunday evening. During the day Monday temperatures will struggle to escape the mid to upper teens across the county. We will then see lows within a couple of degrees of zero both Tuesday and Wednesday morning.

Surprised the media hasn't played up the frigged cold next week. It's near historic for duration and will be a big story.

NW Florida snow max chances

CMC 10" 

GFS 7"

ECM 5"

Wednesday's storm comes north ever so slightly.  Coast gets a glancing blow.
