Pennsylvania Weather: Saturday Snowfall Estimates Released

Some snow is possible Saturday and the National Weather Service has released maps predicting the likely scenarios for accumulation.

Here's what forecasters say about snowfall during a storm that could hit the area between 7 a.m and 7 p.m. on Saturday:

• The reasonable scenario is that there's no snow at all. Zip.
• The likely scenario says that one to two inches falls on Lower Bucks, Eastern Montgomery, parts of Delaware County and Philadelphia. Chester County, Western Montgomery and Upper Bucks County will likely get less than an inch. Most likely, the Lehigh Valley will see no accumulation.
• The worst-case scenario is this: Lower Bucks, parts of Delaware County and Philadelphia could get six inches. Chester County, Mongomery and the rest of Bucks County would get as much as five inches. Under the worst-case scenario, the Lehigh Valley would get three inches.

Gary Szatkowski, a former NWS meteorologist who still chronicles the weather on Twitter, spelled out the scenarios this way:
