The latest briefing on Friday, Feb. 13, from the National Weather Service (NWS) puts the greater Chadds Ford area in a winter weather advisory from 1 p.m. tomorrow until 7 a.m.  Sunday. In addition, a high wind watch is in effect from 10 p.m. Saturday until 2 p.m. Sunday.

The cold outbreak will continue tonight, but the wind won’t be as strong. However, several reinforcing shots of arctic air are expected over the next week, including late this weekend (Saturday night through Monday) and during the middle of next week (Wednesday through Thursday), according to the NWS.

The low temperatures Friday night are expected to be in the single digits or low teens. The Saturday night through Monday morning period is expected to be the coldest and windiest of the season and could break records set in 1996.

A potential for damaging wind gusts up to 55 mph on Saturday night and Sunday exists if a nor'easter develops rapidly off the New England coast. Power outages and downed trees would be possible with winds that strong, the NWS said.

Snow is expected Saturday afternoon and evening with approximately two to three inches forecast in the greater Philadelphia region. But the proximity of a low-pressure system to the coast will ultimately dictate snowfall amounts.

A significant wintry precipitation event is possible again next Tuesday, Feb. 17, into Wednesday, Feb. 18.
