PHILADELPHIA - After nearly two years without measurable snowfall, the Philadelphia area may soon experience a significant winter storm this weekend. The FOX 29 Weather Authority is closely monitoring the approaching weather system and its potential effects on the Delaware Valley.

According to forecasters, the storm is expected to bring a mix of snow and rain to different areas. Future radar projections indicate that Pennsylvania is likely to experience snow, while South Jersey and Delaware, south of Wilmington, will see mainly rainfall.

While Saturday and Sunday conditions are still uncertain, the storm is expected to arrive shortly after lunchtime on Saturday and linger until Sunday afternoon. The exact border between rain and snow remains elusive, as a small deviation in the storm's path could result in variations in precipitation types.

FOX 29's meteorologist, Drew Anderson, advises residents to be prepared for significant amounts of either rain or snow. The potential snowfall will come as a welcome sight to residents who have not experienced measurable snow in nearly two years. However, the uncertainty surrounding the storm's exact track leaves room for variation and calls for continued monitoring of the weather updates.

As the storm approaches, residents are encouraged to stay informed about any significant changes and follow any advisories or warnings issued by local authorities. Preparation is key to ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals and communities during extreme weather events.

As the FOX 29 Weather Authority continues to track the storm's progress, more updates will be provided regarding its potential impacts on the Philadelphia area. Stay tuned for the latest information and be prepared for possible snow or rain this weekend.
