These areas could start to see snowfall as early as Saturday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"YHYO3YE53ZG4ZPACGBBAJYKDII\">Teare also said that as the coastal storm develops on Sunday, areas east of Harrisburg could see a higher chance of additional snow. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"BRJU3CPURVAFFH4YFRDEGA42NU\">\u201cEspecially East of I-95, that\u2019s closer to where the storm is expected to develop,\u201d Teare said. \u201cThat\u2019s where the potential for heavier snow would be.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"Z7LPTRZFWBGWPODR7DPOHZSALA\">As for the Harrisburg are, there is a chance of some snow, but <a href=\"https:\/\/forecast.weather.gov\/MapClick.php?textField1=40.273117&amp;textField2=-76.878890\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/forecast.weather.gov\/MapClick.php?textField1=40.273117&amp;textField2=-76.878890\">forecasts<\/a> are still uncertain about whether it will be a light dusting or something more plowable. With the forecast predicting only freezing temperatures, this snowstorm may melt faster than the last. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"I7HPOVAFHVGNHE6HN6RYDIGCPI\">\u201cWe think that temperatures would be around freezing during the time of the storm, so 32 degrees,\u201d Teare said. \u201cSnowfall totals are still to be determined, but I would expect, at least, the potential for snow showers or a period of steadier snow.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"3T7WI2YXGJBKJFO6MMSDHVUUBU\">For now, residents can expect some rain showers and the possibility of snow over the weekend.
