Philadelphia snow forecast: What to expect from weekend nor'easter based on where you live

Forecasters from the National Weather Service anticipate that the weekend nor'easter will move into the area Saturday afternoon and linger into Sunday morning.

For anyone traveling to Metlife Stadium to see the Eagles take on the Giants Sunday, travel could still be tricky, with some leftover rain and snow in the morning, followed by cold temps and breezy conditions for the game.

Looking ahead, a system winding up for Tuesday and Wednesday has the potential to be extremely potent, bringing windy conditions and heavy rain, enough to cause serious flooding issues.
