What could determine snow totals
Local perspective:
The storm’s track and temperature profile will play a key role in determining whether the region sees snow, a wintry mix or mainly rain.
If the system tracks farther north and maintains colder air, measurable snow could fall across Philadelphia and surrounding counties. A warmer or more southern track could limit accumulations or bring mixed precipitation instead.

At this stage, forecasters stress that details, including timing and totals, are still uncertain and will likely change over the coming days.
What about this week?
Before the early March system, a weaker disturbance could bring light precipitation to parts of the region later this week. Any impacts currently appear minor compared to the potential early-week storm.
What's next:
Forecast models will continue to refine the storm’s track and intensity over the next several days. Residents across the Philadelphia region and South Jersey should monitor updated forecasts as confidence increases.
