Philadelphia Weekend Weather Outlook- Wed PM
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 induce development of a secondary coastal low. The GFS is predicting 3-4 inches of rain, with the heaviest rain falling on Saturday. Flooding of rivers and streams is expected because the ground is saturated with snow melt. Stay tuned
It appears that lighter rain/showers will continue into Sunday, as the blocked low will remain in the area.
Sat 3/13: Cloudy with rain. The rain will likely be very heavy. High 53
Sun 3/14: Cloudy with intermittent showers possible. High 50.
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.
