    Philadelphia Weekend Weather-Sun AM
    An unexpected change in the upper air pattern begins this week, as a significant warmup will occur beginning Thursday. The upper trough will be replaced with a zonal or upper ridge for what looks like a 10 day period. Warmer temperatures may be with us for this time period, comprising an early "January Thaw". The anticipated storm for next week, mentioned in my last post, will not have the upper air support and will NOT explode off the coast as previously thought; it may shear off into the Atlantic next weekend, not affecting us.

    So, after a long stretch of deep cold, look forward to a January Thaw coming up.

    Sun 1/10 Mostly sunny, breezy and cold. High 31.

    Solar Climate Discussion: This past summer
    (see post), I suggested that this upcoming winter would be unusually cold due to a lull in solar activity. The sun remains at a prolonged minimum sunspot activity, although there has finally been a long expected uptick in activity in December indicating the beginning of Solar Cycle 24. Total Solar Irradiance is about 1 watt/m2 lower than it was during the peak of the last solar cycle in April 2000. Continue to expect below normal temperatures for this winter and early spring.
