To get a better sense of the potential impact, we reached out to I-95 Meteorologist Jack Drake for insights. Jack joined us on the Wednesday (1/8/25) edition of the I-95 Morning Show to share his forecast. Here's what he had to say.

Lou: Is winter weather headed out way this weekend? Everyone is getting excited. 

Jack: "Yeah, so we have another snow threat I would say. It's really in the last twenty-four hours turned into a much more minor threat. Even this morning, it looks more like snow showers than a snowstorm."

Ethan: Now what does that mean? Inches? 

Jack: "Yeah, I'd say closer to a singular inch than inches. You know, half the people want a big storm, half the people never want it to snow, they want it to be Florida all the time so you know, an inch and nobody is happy." 

Lou: So what do you think the time period is on this?

Jack: "Originally it looked like it was going to be a Saturday to Sunday, whole weekend deal but with the weakened storm, really the energy is getting what we call stretched out. Just kind of stretched out, pulverized if you will, it really just looks like it's going to be a Saturday morning deal." 

RECAP: 

A much weaker system than initial reports indicated, maybe an inch of snow on Saturday morning (1/11/25).
