High pressure will control our weather this weekend. Sunny skies and low dew points will provide a welcome change from most of this summer’s past weekends.
Highs on Saturday 81 and Sunday 85.
As the high moves east, it will merge with a Bermuda high giving us a hot southwesterly flow for next week. The chance of rain for the next six days is very low.
Latest NAM maintains mostly cloudy conditions for Sunday. A northeasterly flow will bring cool conditions with highs in the mid 70s. Areas in NJ may have lingering showers.
[su_note note_color=”#d9f2da”]9AM Sunday Update: I was surprised to wake up to widespread showers. Current radar has showers extending as far west as Reading. While lingering showers had been expected in NJ, this coverage of precipitation was not forecast for PHL and west. The latest short range models (HRRR, NBM-H) now have showers lingering until about 2-3 PM in PHL!
I can’t remember a time in the past where the model forecasts have repeatedly been so far off in the short range. [/su_note]
[su_note note_color=”#d9f2da”]2 PM Sunday: Yet another update: The latest NBM-H has the showers lingering through the rest of the afternoon! Looking back to my Friday forecast, the GFS did better for Sunday’s forecast of showers all day. [/su_note]
