PA Weather: Chance Of Snow On First Day Of Spring

The official start of spring is March 20, but it might not look or feel like it. Forecasters are predicting a chance of snow Monday and Tuesday, and a Hazardous Weather Outlook has been issued for all of Eastern Pennsylvania.

Forecasters with the National Weather Service say a coastal storm could impact the region Tuesday. The details and any information about the potential impacts are uncertain at this time, that agency says.

However, Lance Franck, a National Weather Service meteorologist, told Patch low pressure systems are developing off the Atlantic coast and in the Ohio Valley that could ultimately give rise to yet another winter storm.

AccuWeather forecasters say a large storm is likely to track over the central United States early next week, and the latest indications are it will turn eastward. That storm or a secondary storm may strengthen along the Atlantic coast by the middle of next week, according to a news release.

Depending on the track and strength of both of the storms, parts of the mid-Atlantic and New England could face yet another nor'easter with gusty winds, snow and rain, according to AccuWeather.
