It may be time to dust off your snow shovels as a flip in the weather pattern could send a snowstorm over parts of the Midwest and Northeast.

00:00 Here comes the first injection of cold air. This is why it turns colder this weekend now a lot of the colder air
00:06 Denoted by the the purple shading. Where's it going? It's going across northern
00:10 Canada here, but it will come down
00:13 Across I'd say north central parts of Pennsylvania interstate 80 on north
00:17 So that's where I think you're gonna start getting the accumulating snow
00:21 But it gets a little complicated than that because this storm is actually coming in two pieces. Let me explain
00:27 Here's the first piece. This will actually be the storm itself the energy that I've highlighted
00:33 Coming in in the northwest this other piece of energy the northern piece and you'll see that in a second
00:39 This is going to bring more cold air into the back side of the storm Tuesday Tuesday afternoon
00:45 This is why cities like New York City in Philadelphia
00:47 You're mostly rain
00:49 But you can end as a period of snow because this cold air
00:51 Comes in on with this system on the back side of our storm now. This is what's going to be looking like
00:56 There's your northern piece. There's your southern piece now earlier in this week
00:59 We're talking about how if the northern piece goes faster this storm would be buried to the south
01:05 We don't think that's going to happen
01:06 We think that this the storm the southern piece will be running out ahead of the northern piece
01:10 So that's why it's going to be moving to the northeast
01:13 But what this piece will do is also bring the colder air into the storm along its backside
01:19 So watch what happens in cities like Philadelphia and New York City stop
01:23 You're raining even in Harrisburg
01:26 I think you're raining
01:27 But on the back side of this storm you start turning this some snow as the colder air comes in you see and then the storm
01:33 Departs as we get into Tuesday now. I am skeptical. We were in map discussion talking about this
01:39 We I'm skeptical that Philadelphia or in the southern tier of Pennsylvania gets any accumulating snow
01:45 I think it will snow. I think the accumulating snow is mostly going to be north of interstate 80
01:50 We'll see if that's right, but prepare for it in Philly prepare for a period of snow in New York City
01:55 I think the best chance of accumulation interstate 80 on north and Pennsylvania across the southern tier in New York, Boston, Providence
02:01 Hartford three to six inches Albany you're going to get a couple inches of snow heavier amounts of snow
02:05 We think in the Poconos and the Catskills
