Weather Authority: Winter Storm Watch starting Sunday with significant snowfall possible
FOX 29's Scott Williams has the latest on a winter storm that could bring significant snow to parts of the area Sunday afternoon into Monday.
PHILADELPHIA - Conditions will be harshly cold to start the weekend with below-freezing temperatures and sustained wind gusts that will make it feel much colder. A snowstorm forecasted to arrive late Sunday night could bring measurable snow to the region to start the week.
Temperatures will stay cold on Friday with a high of 28 degrees slated for Philadelphia and surrounding counties. A significant wind chill factor, aided by gusts that could reach up to 40 MPH, will make conditions feel in the teens.
The FOX 29 Weather Authority is tracking a coastal snowstorm that's expected to impact our area Sunday night through Tuesday afternoon. While predicted snowfall totals remain unsettled, models anticipate anywhere from 6-10 inches of powder for Philadelphia and neighboring regions.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for most of the area that goes into effect Sunday at 4 p.m. and lasts until 1 a.m. Tuesday.
