Spring is known for high variability of weather, and the current weather map supports this changeability. Low pressure will move toward us late Friday through Friday night and will be off the coast sometime Saturday. Showers early Saturday morning are likely to linger into early Saturday afternoon. Cloudiness should also be with us for much of the day on Saturday. Some sunshine returns Sunday morning before clouds return with another approaching low

Philadelphia Weekend Weather Update - Sat AM
The models had trouble capturing the precipitation with the approaching upper closed low pressure system. (Quite common problem with the computer models; probably should have underscored that uncertainty in yesterday's forecast.)
The latest NAM now shows the showers moving through Philadelphia, with another band of precipitation on its heals. So on and off showers are likely for tomorrow.
Interestingly, the NAM backs off on the showers for Sunday! We'll see how accurate that is!
Sat 3/24: Rest of the day: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers. High 62
Sun 3/25: Considerable cloudiness, showers ending in the early morning. High 68.

Best chances of rain in any specific area is late afternoon on both Saturday and Sunday.
Sat 3/24 A mix of sun and clouds. Chance of widely scattered showers, especially late afternoon. High 67.

Philadelphia Spring-Summer Climate Forecast- March 2012
While climate forecasting is not my forte (for that matter, I don't think it's anyone's forte) I do like to share with my readers what I'm thinking about regarding the upcoming 2012 spring summer season.
My regular readers know that two years ago, I put great stock in the solar cycle (and a lesser extent the sea surface temperature cycles) to predict climate trends. My winter forecast issued in November, based on the solar cycle, verified.
The current solar cycle maximum is less than two years away. While this solar maximum will be significantly lower than the previous two cycles, and while we are coming off of a significantly lengthy solar minimum, it's my opinion that this coming spring and summer will approach the very dry and hot summers we had in 2000-2001. Expect much above average normal temps and little rainfall.
In fact, by next Fall, I think we will be hearing the word "drought" in the news.
Stay tuned!

Philadelphia Weekend Weather Forecast-Fri PM
The latest NAM and GFS models are in and show the cold front moving through earlier than had been previously predicted. The NAM cuts off the precipitation during the mid morning and the GFS cuts it off by noon or 1 PM for Philadelphia.
With the passage of the cold front, windy conditions will develop, as cooler air moves in later Saturday and Saturday night. Sunday will have below normal high temps and may remain windy. An upper air disturbance will bring some clouds, maybe sprinkles or snow flurries late.
Sat 3/3 Cloudy with rain and showers, ending before noon. Becoming sunny. Mild. Becoming windy. High temp 57
