First snow? Developing nor'easter could bring wet snow to parts of PA
The anchors are asking for warmth and sunshine. Kathy Orr has something less accommodating on the forecast map: a coastal system that could bring the Poconos their first wet snow of the season.
In FOX 29 Philadelphia's weather update, Orr tracks low pressure that could develop into a nor'easter late Thursday night into Friday. The system could pull colder air into the region, opening the possibility of snow in the mountains. This is a possibility, not a settled snowfall forecast, and the location matters: Orr identifies the Poconos, not Philadelphia, for those potential flakes.
The short forecast drew about 23,000 views in its first eleven hours, an unusually fast start for the station's Shorts.
Before that possible wintry turn, Orr describes a much milder interlude. Tuesday's Philadelphia forecast is well above average, following gusty conditions expected to ease after sunset on Monday.
The snow prospect arrives near the end of the segment. At 2:37, Orr says: "And guys, that means we could even have a little wet snow in the Poconos."
