what we know
Forecasters say precipitation is possible Sunday into Monday night, when temperatures will drop into the 30s.
Forecasters are monitoring “a strong low pressure system with the potential to develop into a major nor’easter along the East Coast by Sunday,” Fox Weather said.
“Current guidance indicates the storm could ‘bomb’ offshore, bringing the threat of heavy snow, coastal flooding and high winds to major metropolitan areas from the mid-Atlantic to southern and eastern New England,” Fox Weather wrote.
FOX 29’s Drew Anderson pointed out the divergence in current model forecasts for rain and snow in an Instagram post Wednesday morning: “When you see 180 degrees like this, the models have no idea.”
local perspective
Mild, dreary weather will help melt three weeks of snow ahead of potential storms on Sunday.

Mild temperatures will end with sunshine on Saturday, with highs expected to reach the mid-50s before falling back into the mid-30s on Sunday and over the next few days.
