Forecasting models remain uncertain about a potential nor'easter that could impact Philadelphia this weekend. Meteorologists are tracking a coastal storm system that may bring snow, rain, or a wintry mix to the region, depending on its track and intensity.

FOX Weather reports forecasters are monitoring a potent low pressure system that could develop into a major nor'easter along the East Coast by Sunday. The storm's path will determine whether Philadelphia receives mostly snow or rain, with temperatures expected to drop into the 30s overnight Sunday into Monday. Current guidance suggests the system could "bomb out" offshore, potentially bringing heavy snow, coastal flooding, and gale-force winds to major metropolitan areas.

Before the potential storm, mild conditions will help melt existing snow piles, with temperatures in the 40s through Friday. Saturday will bring sunny skies and highs in the 50s before the cold front arrives. The coastal storm is expected to linger through Monday morning, creating hazardous commuting conditions. While models remain uncertain about exact timing and precipitation type, residents should prepare for winter weather impacts early next week.
