Arctic blast returns as weekend snow threat grows in Philadelphia and New Jersey
Philadelphia is bracing for another round of bitter cold as Arctic air settles over the region this week, with the potential for weekend snow returning to the I-95 corridor. Temperatures have already dropped sharply, and forecasters warn that even colder air will move in again by Saturday and Sunday.
What's next:
Sunshine will return on Friday, but temperatures will stay cold and blustery to make conditions feel even colder.
The next chance of snow in Philadelphia will be on Sunday when forecasters anticipate morning flurries that could linger into the early afternoon.
