Brace for a Weather Rollercoaster This Weekend
As we move into the weekend, it’s time to prepare for some significant weather changes. Friday gives us a moment of relief with sunny skies and seasonable temperatures hovering in the low 40s—a welcome break from the chill of winter. However, this warmth will be short-lived as a mix of snow, rain, and an Arctic blast is poised to shake things up starting Saturday.
Saturday brings light precipitation, with areas like the Lehigh Valley possibly seeing a dusting of snow before it transitions into light rain. Rainfall isn’t expected to be heavy, with most areas receiving only about a tenth of an inch. It’s a manageable start to what promises to be a dramatic weekend.

Sunday’s forecast is more complex, with an offshore system potentially swinging close enough to deliver a wintry mix to the region. Current models suggest that areas around Philadelphia could see two to three inches of snow by the afternoon, with slightly higher totals in the Pennsylvania suburbs and lighter accumulations in South Jersey and Delaware. This could lead to slippery conditions, especially for those heading to the Eagles playoff game. Whether the snow creates a classic "Snow Bowl" atmosphere or veers offshore remains uncertain, so stay tuned for updates.
The real story unfolds on Monday as an Arctic blast moves in, ushering in the coldest temperatures our area has experienced in years. Martin Luther King Jr. Day will be blustery, with highs struggling to reach the mid-20s and wind chills dipping into the lower teens. By Tuesday morning, temperatures across the region will feel bitterly cold, with lows plunging into the single digits. These conditions could persist well into the week, keeping daytime highs below freezing through Friday.
This extreme cold can cause pipes to freeze and burst, so it’s crucial to take precautions now. Insulate exposed pipes, open cabinet doors to let warm air circulate, and ensure your home is ready to handle the chill.
As always, stay safe, stay warm, and keep checking back with the NBC10 First Alert Weather Team for the latest updates.
