Messy Monday weather!


Temperatures finally made it above freezing yesterday for the first time this week and this morning’s readings are in the mid 20s.. A warm front is slowly approaching from the west with precipitation now reaching Eastern Pennsylvania and should arrive as snow around 9-10am, we will have less than an inch of snow before changing to a mix of freezing rain and sleet and then all rain by late this afternoon, inland areas will hang on the the frozen precipitation until this evening. A winter weather advisory has been issued for this area. On Tuesday the warm front will struggle through the area, temperatures will rise into the 40s but lots of clouds and drizzle should occur.. We are really into the warm air on Wednesday as temperatures approach 60 degrees but a cold front approaching will give us a good chance of heavy rain showers or even a rare January thunderstorm along with rather strong winds. Thursday will be dry with highs in the low 40s. Colder Friday into the weekend but not as frigid as this past week.

A warm front will be approaching on Monday and ahead of it we will have snow mixing with freezing rain and then plain rain later in the day, hopefully the precipitation can start after the morning commute. On Tuesday the warm front will be slowly moving through the area with temperatures becoming mild. Wednesday looks even milder as temperatures approach 60 degrees but with a cold front approaching rain showers will develop and it will become quite windy. Colder at the end of the week but not as frigid as the last several days.

The forecast:
Today – Sunny, high in the low 30s.

Cold Arctic air holding tough: A little snow this evening!


Temperatures this morning are a couple of degrees milder than yesterday’s as I am recording 10 degrees at 6:30am. Increasing cloudiness will occur today and although high temperatures are still going to remain below freezing the winds will diminish and it will feel less harsh than yesterday. The system that we have been following all week will likely cause some light snow from around 5-10PM this evening, less than an inch is expected but when the snow does fall it will immediately stick on the roads and will likely cause slippery conditions. The weekend will be dry and cold with high temperatures again staying a little below freezing. A little milder on Monday but there is a chance of rain that may fall as freezing rain inland. Much milder air on Tuesday and Wednesday along with a chance of showers.. Colder at the end of next week but not as frigid as the last few days.

The forecast: Today – Increasing cloudiness with light snow likely after 5PM, high in the upper 20s.
Tonight – Light snow till around 10PM, less than an inch of accumulation, low in the mid teens
Saturday – Partly sunny, high in the upper 20s.
Sunday – Sunny, high in the low 30s.
Monday – A chance of rain after 2PM, may be freezing rain well inland, high in the upper 30s.
Tuesday – Mostly cloudy and warmer, high near 50. Showers possible at night.
Wednesday – Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers, quite mild, high in the low 50s.
Thursday – Partly sunny, high in the low 40s.

Marine Forecast: Today – West-northwest wind to 12 knots, seas to 2 feet.
Outlook – Small craft advisories may be needed on Saturday and again on Tuesday.

Have a great weekend!
