The latest NAM just in shows showers early Saturday morning, ending late morning.  This is a significant change from previous model runs.

As forecast, a weak disturbance is approaching today, with cloudiness and a chance of very light showers during the afternoon.

Exact timing of these light showers is difficult, but early afternoon, about 2 PM, is a best guess.

Somewhat heavier precip is possible in the far northern suburbs of Philadelphia this afternoon.

This past weekend’s weather was cloudier and wetter than had been predicted.  Yesterday (Sunday), the clouds moved in several hours earlier than the models had predicted.  Sunday afternoon’s rain at the shore and even here was significantly wetter than had been predicted by the models that prior morning.

For today, Memorial Day, both models show cloudiness for most of the day, but with no precipitation.

11AM Update:   The current weather shows the model forecasts to be  wrong again.  Areas  of light showers have developed over our area, which were barely captured by the short range models earlier this morning.  Do I dare say that they shouldn’t last?

The cloud deck should thin as the day progresses, so skies may brighten a bit in the mid to late afternoon, but don’t expect any blue skies.

With all the cool temperatures of this past month (with a few days of exceptions), one may wonder when we’ll see summer-like conditions.  According to the NWS Climate Center, the forecast outlook is for temperatures to be well above average in this area for June and July.
