Another cold day on Monday, followed by a warmup on Tuesday with temperatures rebounding into the low to mid 50s.

A storm is expected to move across the country and affect our weather on Wednesday with rain developing before daybreak.

We need some rain and unfortunately, the trend of the past few storms looks to continue, with the heaviest rain occurring to our far northwest.

This afternoon’s GFS shows the heaviest rain to occur to our far northwest on Wednesday. (Click on image for a larger view.)

Another trend has been for the predicted rainfall in our area to diminish with each subsequent model run. Yesterday, the total rainfall was predicted to be in the 0.8-1″ range around Philadelphia. The latest GFS posted above (in agreement with the ECMWF) has about half that amount forecast. (The latest ECMWF AI model still has about 0.8″ of rainfall here.)

I wish I could identify why this trend is occurring. It’s been going on since late last Spring.
