"Philadelphia Braces for Weekend Storm with Mixed Snow Predictions"
Philadelphia is expected to face a wet weekend with a winter storm bringing rain rather than snow, likely continuing the city's record streak of 704 days without an inch of snow. While minor snow accumulations may occur in neighboring counties, the city itself is forecasted to remain snow-free. A more significant storm is anticipated next week, with heavy rains and potential flooding due to saturated ground. Forecasters are more concerned about this upcoming storm, which could bring up to 3 inches of rain and has a high chance of causing flooding. The long-term outlook suggests above-normal temperatures, potentially extending the snowless streak even further.
