Saturday Forecast Update
Posted Saturday 12/28/24 @ 10:02 AM — The rain moved in and will remain with us for much of the day. Current RAP model analysis shows minor areas of upward vertical motion that will move in our direction during the day and night time hours—
For Sunday, a system is developing along an inflection area of the jet stream along the Gulf Coast. This will move towards us bringing rain Sunday night into early Monday—
The GFS is still showing a pause in the rain for Sunday afternoon and even some sun in Philadelphia and areas eastward, but the latest NAM-NEST model shows some lingering light drizzle and sprinkles in the city during the game. I’m leaning towards the more optimistic GFS forecast at this time for the Eagles game. Heavy rain expected Sunday evening and night beginning about 7-8 PM from west to east.
Previously Posted Fri @ 11:03 PM — —Two low pressure systems will affect our weather this weekend. The first will last through much of Saturday. Luckily, the second system, as forecast with prior updates Thursday and Friday, will remain to our west for the afternoon on Sunday. The Eagles game should be mostly dry with even some breaks of sun.
Rain begins here around midnight (Friday).
