Scenario 1: Slower, northerly storm
An area of high pressure holding over the Northeast will keep the region mainly dry and cold late in the week.
"Should the high break down as the storm approaches, it could allow the storm to track northeastward Sunday and into Monday," Edwards said.
The northward curve of the storm will bring moisture into the colder pool of air across the mid-Atlantic, allowing for snow potential for major cities in the region.
Residents of Washington D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia and Atlantic City could find themselves with a blanket of snow by Monday morning.
Warm air being drawn up from the south ahead of the storm would allow much much of the precipitation farther south to fall as rain. This includes cities from Richmond, Virginia, to Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina.
There is also some indication that the storm, should it take this more northward track, would have the opportunity to strengthen off the Delaware and Maryland coast on Monday.
