The cloudiness this morning had been predicted last night.
Cloudiness should dissipate from west to east.
Last night’s 2 AM (06 UTC) run of the major models show varying times for the cloudiness to break for sunshine. Most of the short range models (RAP, HRRR) have sunshine by 10AM-12 noon.
However, NAM, NAM-NEST and the GFS are a bit slower with the cloud clearing, having some cloudiness lingering until 1-2 PM here in the Philadelphia area.
Most of yesterday’s storms only affected the northern parts of our area, from central Montgomery county, Bucks county and northward.
A cold front moves through this evening. The models are again forecasting scattered thunderstorms, this time affecting more of the immediate Philadelphia area including areas not affected yesterday. The storms are expected to be scattered; again all areas won’t receive rain.
The weather parameters that are indicative of severe weather (Helicity, Shear, CAPE) are not as elevated as yesterday.
