Lower elevations may see 3-4 inches with a mix of rain and snow due to higher temperatures.

"Northeast Braces for Potentially Significant Weekend Snowstorm"

Forecasters in the Lehigh Valley are monitoring the potential for the season's first significant snowfall this weekend, but caution that it's too early for precise predictions. The storm, which could bring heavy snow, rain, and strong winds, is expected to move from the Gulf Coast toward the mid-Atlantic. However, uncertainties about temperature, storm track, and timing make it difficult to forecast the exact impact. The region, which had a warmer than average December, could see varying outcomes, from heavy snow to a wintry mix, depending on the storm's path and available cold air. Weather models show different scenarios, and forecasters advise waiting for more specific information as the weekend approaches.
