What determines snowfall totals
local perspective
The storm’s track and temperature profile will play a key role in determining whether the area will see snow, a winter mix or mainly rainfall.
If the system moves north and retains cooler air, Philadelphia and surrounding counties could see measurable amounts of snow. A warmer or more southerly track may limit accumulation or bring mixed precipitation.

what’s next
Forecast models will continue to refine the storm’s track and intensity over the coming days. As confidence grows, residents in the Philadelphia area and South Jersey should pay attention to the latest forecasts.
