An Email to a Weatherguy Follower...
Someone wrote to me about the forecasts this weekend...here is my reply:
The models have done terribly with this weekend's weather. They over-predicted the precipitation yesterday, especially in Philly. The front was supposed to be off shore this morning, but it's not...it's still in central NJ and the upper air front is still over Philly. Yesterday turned out much better, here at the shore, than previously expected.
I wasn't too confident about either model solution if you recall (in previous private email)......50 mile error in frontal position can be a major difference. And there were more errors than just position of the front...all the dynamics were off.
Last night's WRF has heavy showers this afternoon here at the shore...while the 2 AM rerun (06 UT) has it offshore. Your guess is as good as mine.
Usually the weather is much more deterministic...not this current weekend.

Sunday Forecast Change- Sun AM
The front has hung up a bit closer to us than previously expected. (It was supposed to be off the coastline by now.) The surface front currently lies somewhere in the middle of New Jersey, while the frontal boundary higher up in the atmosphere is lagging back over Philadelphia. What a bummer!
The upper winds are still from the SW, bringing more moisture over us. Some sun possible, but more clouds will linger today than previously expected and the chance of showers will remain with us as well for much of the morning into early afternoon. High today: 76 with dewpoints lower in the mid 60s. For the Shore: Some sun, but then becoming cloudy with showers possible throughout much of the day. Additional thundershower showers in the afternoon may be heavy. High 79.
