WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST

Let me start by pointing out that the models did poorly with today’s forecast- we were supposed to have had much more rain than we actually received today, and some areas were rain-free for much of the daytime. So we’ll see if the models get it right for the weekend…

That said, the models are insisting that we have the rain on Saturday that had been expected to move up  from the south on Friday.   All models are on-board with cloudy conditions and rain on Saturday.  An easterly wind of 10-15 mph will make it feel cooler than the expected high of 73.

The rain will end over Saturday night and Sunday should become partly sunny by late morning or early afternoon.   It will be warm with highs near 83.   There is a chance of scattered light instability showers late Sunday afternoon.

PHILLY WEEKEND WEATHER OUTLOOK

The stalled front and the train of moisture and rain riding up from the Gulf of Mexico will continue into the weekend.

Reviewing the current model output, Saturday still appears to be cloudy with rain through the day.  High near 70.  It will be breezy.

The only hope for Saturday is that the models sometimes over-extend the period of rain. Not sure we count on this model tendency here.  

The rain moves out for Sunday and some sun is possible.  High upper 70s.
