Poor Model Forecast

It was supposed to be a dry frontal passage this morning, but that hasn’t panned out.   The models show as little as a 4% chance of showers this morning, but the short range models (GFS-LAMP) have increased the chances s bit.  Nonetheless, radar shows that an area of fast-moving showers is passing through.

Interestingly, the NAM model was updated and enhanced this past Tuesday, but I see little improvement in the precipitation forecasts since then.

For the balance of the day, broken clouds, showers early morning , then clearing in the mid-afternoon.

Philly Weather Update

In some areas today, there was a large high cirrus cloud cover, even High level cirrus clouds with bat box in the foregroundan altocumulus congestus layer which kept temperatures down. There were more high level clouds than I had expected.

A weak frontal boundary will move through Sunday morning with cloudy skies early.  The models keep us dry.  Skies clear during the day as a dry northerly flow develops.

So for Sunday, clouds in the early morning with blue skies and billowy fair weather clouds in the afternoon.
