YET ANOTHER FORECAST CHANGE

Tonight’s NAM model data has yet another change in the forecast for Sunday.  Mostly cloudy conditions forecast, but the latest NAM holds off most of the rain until late afternoon.  The earlier NAM and GFS had heavy rain by mid afternoon Sunday.  (Due to Daylight Saving Time, the new GFS won’t be available until after my bedtime.)

But the latest data we have suggests a Sunday that is drier than previously expected.  Still moderate rain expected for Sunday night.

FORCAST UPDATE -SATURDAY AM

The latest HRRR forecast shows showers and thunderstorms moving along the frontal boundary and staying south of PHL.

The latest NAM has rain for Sunday, starting late morning and continuing heavy through Sunday afternoon and evening. The latest GFS is similar, but shows less QPF for Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon.
