SUNDAY FORECAST UPDATE

[note note_color=”#bceaed” text_color=”#333333″ radius=”3″]Sun 05:25 PM Forecast Review — An overly optimistic forecast.  I can’t blame this on the models. I just bet on the wrong horse (HREF).     This is as close as the clearing got to us this afternoon  —

Visible Satellite at 4:45 PM

Areas of Chester and Delaware counties had clearing, but I use Blue Bell as the forecast focal point.  The clearing may make it a bit  further north as low pressure has begun to develop over the Delaware border .  Showers and possible thunderstorms still expected later this evening and tonight.  [/note]

Going with the latest HREF (High Resolution Ensemble Forecast) model forecast.
