WEATHER UPDATE

[su_box title=”Sunday Morning Update” box_color=”#defcdc” title_color=”#000000″]The NAM has joined the rest of the models with a continued chance of on and off light showers and drizzle through the evening.

I don’t recall any of the models showing the fog that has developed. With the fog and  heavy low cloud deck, it doesn’t look like the mid 60s that was heavily advertised will become a reality.  High temperatures now looking to be about 59.

Skies clear on Monday.   A period of cold weather for much of the upcoming week and weekend with rain rather than snow looking possible for end of next weekend.

From last night:

Tonight’s NBM (National Blend of Models) has rain tapering and ending about 2-3 pm on Sunday.  The NAM has it ending a bit earlier, the GFS has the chance of continued light showers into the evening. Either way, it will cloudy and mild. High 63.

Outlook- A winter-like broad dip in the jet stream will bring cold temperatures for the next week or so.  Stay tuned.

PHILLY WEEKEND WEATHER

[su_box title=”Saturday Morning Update 8 AM” box_color=”#defcdc” title_color=”#000000″]The forecast is on track with rain starting about 4-5 PM Saturday. High 44.

For Sunday, chance of showers in the morning, then cloudy with a chance of light showers (NBM and GFS) in the afternoon. The NAM continues with a mostly dry and cloudy afternoon. High 63.[/su_box]

Forecast from Friday night:

An approaching low pressure system in the west with it’s associated warm front will pass through our area late Saturday evening into Sunday morning.

Saturday will start chilly with a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures not warming to 40 until noon. Highs will be in the mid 40s during the late afternoon. Clouds move in during the afternoon Saturday and rain starts about 4-5 PM.  Rain will become moderate during the evening and night.

The warm front passes north of us early Sunday morning.  The GFS and the NBM maintain some showers lingering into the afternoon, while the NAM has the possibility of rain ending around noon.  It’s a tough call on whether we’ll have clearing in the afternoon, but I’m feeling the GFS may be holding onto the showers too long.  High temperatures 63-67.
