Pre-Valentine's Day Snowstorm Might Wallop Northeast-But Forecast Is Dicey

Chances of a winter storm across the Northeast ahead of Valentine’s Day this week are rising, breaking up a streak of milder temperatures in recent weeks, though there’s still a lot of uncertainty in the forecast about the intensity and potential snow accumulations.“A weaker storm that fails to gather cold air and tracks farther to the south may fail to produce much snow,” according to AccuWeather. “If the storm intensifies rapidly near the Northeast coast, rain may transition to heavy, accumulating snow in the zone from New York City to Philadelphia and perhaps Washington, D. C.”The storm comes as the Northeast has been experiencing unseasonably warm weather that’s set to continue through this weekend. The National Weather Service in New York says temperatures will be near 60 on Saturday in the New York City metropolitan area. The storm might dash hopes for the early spring that Punxsutawney Phil and other weather-guessing animals predicted on Groundhog’s Day earlier this week.
