Philly Weekend Weather Forecast

Once again, today’s (Friday) model forecast was far off target.  We were supposed to have clouds and showers throughout the day.   Not the case!

I’m not so sure we can count on the model’s weekend forecast to be on target.  It appears that the NAM did better than the GFS so we’ll go with it.

The NAM shows heavy rain Saturday morning, ending early afternoon. (The GFS also shows some rain, but significantly less.) Clouds break late Saturday afternoon as winds pickup.  High about 60.

Saturday night becoming very windy and cold as low pressure tracks through Pennsylvania.  Chance of a wet snow flurry!

Sunday, mostly sunny, windy and chilly.  High 45.

I may need to update this forecast.  A bit below usual confidence.

Update Saturday 6AM:  The NAM has showers into early afternoon today (QPF 0.26 inches water), then some brightening skies possible mid afternoon before some more clouds move in towards evening.  Still a chance of a quick sprinkle in the late afternoon.  A wet snow shower increasingly likely around midnight as winds pick up.

For Sunday, mostly sunny, very windy and chilly.  Winds subside in the afternoon.  High 44.
