I\u2019M GOING TO SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF MODEL RUNS. SO THIS IS WHAT WE\u2019RE THIS IS WHAT WE\u2019RE LOOKING AT. THIS IS THE EUROPEAN MODEL. SO IT KEEPS THE SYSTEM DOWN TOWARDS THE COAST. BUT LOOK WHERE IT\u2019S HEADED. OUT TO SEA. LOOK AT THIS. THE SNOW BANDS DON\u2019T EVEN MAKE IT TOWARDS PENNSYLVANIA OR TOWARDS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY CONTINUES TO GO OUT TO SEA. HERE\u2019S THE AMERICAN MODEL THAT\u2019S GOING TO CONTINUE TO GO OUT TO SEA. YOU CAN SEE SOME BANDS MAKE IT INTO NEW JERSEY. BUT LOOK AT THIS. THE CENTER OF THAT LOW PRESSURE IS GOING OUT TO SEA. THIS IS WHAT WE\u2019RE WATCHING AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, AND WE\u2019RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO, TO TO PINPOINT THE EXACT TRACK AND THE TOTALS. IF IT EVEN GETS CLOSE ENOUGH FOR IMPACTS RIGHT NOW, IT IS A LOW CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION ONCE WE GET INTO THE WEEKEND. SO IMPACT PERIOD FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THAT\u2019S FOR THE BRISK AND FRIGID CHILLS, BY THE WAY, UP UNTIL SATURDAY. STILL GOING TO BE WATCHING THE COAST THOUGH. LOOKING AHEAD INTO NEXT WEEK.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
