    Philadelphia Weekend Weather Outlook- Tues AM
    A low pressure system will develop in the midwest during the mid week period and deepen as its upper air support develops into a closed low. With a blocked pattern developing (similar to our last 'storm' here that didn't deliver the expected snow amounts), this storm will linger from Thursday through Sunday-- the midwest low will [try to] induce development of a secondary coastal low.

    With the transfer of energy to the coastal low and the uncertainty of the exact dynamics in our area, the models have ranged from 4.0 inches of rain to about 1.5 inches with last night's model runs.

    It does appear that Saturday will be wet and Sunday may not be much better, it's unclear whether the rains will be torrential or whether there may be extended times of just light rain, drizzle or just clouds. This is a scenario where the details will become more clear by late Thursday.

    Sat 3/13: tentative: Rain, showers, possible thundershowers. High 60

    Sun 3/14: tentative: Cloudy, some breaks of sun. Chance of some showers. High 58.

    Solar Climate Discussion (Updated 3/9): The sun is beginning to come out of a solar minimum, and there has finally been an
    increase in solar activity signaling the beginning of Solar Cycle 24. There are several sunspot areas, but the solar flux still hasn't taken off. It's still early in the cycle.

    Total Solar Irradiance continues to be about 1 watt/m2 lower than it was during the peak of the last solar cycle, Solar Cycle 23, in April 2000.

    As of early March, it looks like the solar cycle is providing the predicted colder than normal temperatures and the El Nino is providing the potent moisture rich southern jet stream. Continue to expect cooler than normal temperatures into the spring.
