Philadelphia Wakes to Coldest Morning Since February as Snow Chances Stay Slim

NOAA projects below-normal temperatures with drier-than-normal conditions into late December, limiting prospects for meaningful snowfall.

Overview

  • Morning lows fell into the teens Tuesday across the region, with wind chills dipping into the single digits.
  • A system arriving Wednesday is expected to bring light rain for most areas, with light snow limited to higher terrain and a brief flurry risk at the onset in the city, according to the National Weather Service.
  • A fast-moving cold front on Friday could produce a dusting or less in parts of the region, forecasters said.
  • The Climate Prediction Center favors below-normal precipitation over the next one to two weeks and below-normal temperatures through mid to late December, reducing the odds of significant snow.
  • Since the 2019–20 season, Philadelphia has recorded 56.7 inches of snow versus a 139.4-inch normal, leaving a deficit of more than 80 inches.
