After this weekend's record-breaking snow event, could we see another?  The answer is yes and while the accumulations may be slightly less (emphasis on slightly), the historical word enters in due to the lack of time between these two systems.  Some areas could measure up to four feet of snow within a three to four day period.  This would probably be a first for the Midstate and would absolutely put things at a stand still for several days.  What are the details?  Let's get started:

In addition to this graphic, here is what we think could happen over the next couple days:

Tuesday

12:00PM-5:00PM

Snow begins, light accumulations.

5:00PM-10:00PM

Snow intensifies, 2-5 inch accumulations.

10:00PM-4:00AM

Heavy snow, 5-8 inch accumulations.

Wednesday

4:00AM-12:00PM

Heavy snow bursts, 8-15 inch accumulations, very windy.

12:00PM-7:00PM

Blizzard-like, snow gradually diminishing toward evening, 15-20 inch storm totals possible.

7:00PM  Onward

Blowing and drifting snow.

Stay with abc27, abc27.com, and abc27 Weather Channel for continuing coverage of this storm.  We will have an extended edition of Daybreak tomorrow morning.  Please tune in and stay safe.  Here is a look at our forecasted totals.  Check back on the weather page for more updates later today.

Just as we catch our breath from the last snowstorm (and what a doozy it was!), another one could be right around the corner.  While this past weekend brought many areas across the Midstate and Mid-Atlantic record-breaking snowfall, this storm doesn't look as intense, but could still drop a hefty amount of snow around these parts.

The GFS is depicting another sizable storm which is currently located across the central United States.  This storm will not have the Gulf moisture to work with like the weekend storm, but it could pick up some moisture from the good old Atlantic.  Notice how the GFS develops a coastal low for Wednesday morning.  This is almost a prime location for a low to "bomb" and deliver big snows to the east coast and interior Pennsylvania (aka the Midstate!).  Could this really be another "big one"?  I'm not thinking this one will be as bad as our weekend storm...but it could easily drop another 6-12 inches across the viewing area.  Eastern PA might be in for some intense snow and wind.  This has a classic feel to it.  There are still some uncertainties and some issues that would prevent another big snow from falling here, but at this point I would prepare for another moderate storm.

Our PrecisionCast depicts snowfall amounts through Wednesday late afternoon.  The storm should come to an end around Midday Wednesday.  These amounts seem reasonable to me with the other data I've looked at.  However, the models may start to go higher depending on how that coastal low develops.  I think a range of 6-10 inches is likely across the region with far eastern and southern areas perhaps getting up to 12 inches.  We'll know more this afternoon and tonight.  Either way, plan for more snow beginning tomorrow afternoon and continuing through Wednesday around lunch.  Obviously, this would create more problems as cities and boroughs are still trying to clean up from Saturday's storm.  Keep it here for the very latest and also tune into abc27 and the abc27 Weather Channel for updates...

Have a great Monday!  (At least the sun is out today!)

Sorry everybody, but things are obviously hectic here today and I don't have time to write a full post.  I have upped the totals somewhat since this morning's broadcast.  Expect a general 6-18 inches of snow to fall from north to south across the Midstate through Saturday afternoon.  Higher amounts will be south of the turnpike.  Please stay tuned to our abc27 Weather Channel (Digital Channel 27.3 and now on Comcast) for continuous updates.  Also, Fink will have the latest tonight and I will be sitting alongside my good pal James Crummel for a special edition of abc27 News Saturday Morning tomorrow...please join us.  In the meantime, stay safe tonight and please stay inside if you are able!  Stay tuned...
