All Activity

I’ll take the under city east. .1”-.25” strong onshore flow will do it thing. .

Almost 80 here at 8:44 am

FYI… looks like we might get active this week. .

Where was it headed, maybe if you let it get on the bus it would have taken it away from your neighborhood?

Latest CFS RONI peaks at +2.65 to +2.70 in OND, which would be a record high beating 1982: Latest CFS ONI is +3.25-30 in OND, meaning keeping the differential near 0.6:

Is your sounding from WeatherFront? I’ve been getting monthly subs to different apps seeing what one I like. WeatherFront is what I have now and I like it. .

any severe weather expected tomorrow with that cold front?

I have friends in Franklin, actually a little south of Franklin near Independence HS. .

Heh... probably just the operation run dance.

Sunday 89 Monday 95

bummer tbh

They rarely make it this far east anymore. There's a chance of a line forming giving the clash of air masses. Typically those lines are broken up and not well organized, at least by the time they get here. So I'm going to guess, overall, not much (<0.2") for the majority of the sub.

Severe WX has been MIA on the I-95 corridor thus far this spring. I would love to see an inch of rain tomorrow, but unlikely.

Saw my first spotted lanternfly (black with white dots) waiting for the bus. I promptly killed it.

Today will be the hottest day of our brief warm up with today reaching the 90's in all areas - maybe even in the higher spots like here in East Nantmeal. This will however be nowhere close to record levels with the mid to upper 90’s record heat for this date set way back in 1962 remaining safe. Tomorrow will be several degrees cooler and may not reach 90 in all areas. Rain chances will be ramping up with an approaching cold front tomorrow later in the day and will continue through Sunday. Some models are hinting at some of the most beneficial rains we have had in quite some time. We turn chillier than normal for the Memorial Day weekend with highs likely to remain in the 50's to near 60 degrees both Friday and Saturday. The area farmers and green thumbs have their fingers crossed even if it could impact some holiday plans.

79 / 68 the hear is on the next 36 hours. Mid - upper 90s , stray 100s today. Tomorrow just as hot if the front is later in the PM, otherwise the caveat is a bit cooler. Showers, storms. Front sags and stalls , upper trough cuts off in an otherwise strong ridge, stuck beneath clouds, showers, rain , easterly flow Thu- Sun. Perhaps we can salvage Memorial Day. rain >1 - 2.00 is possible between the cold front wed and Sunday. Ridge remains achored in the east and quick rebound into the 80s by Tuesday. Euro backs in the cut off but will see, overall warmer once passed the abysmal period coming up. 5/26 - beyond looks above normal.

Charlie you are again misinterpreting the data. The increasing hot years in Philly during recent years is of course the UHI contamination at PHL.

Currently 79 here. I think the record high temp of 95 set back in 1996, is in jeopardy today.

Any guesses on how much precip we will receive tomorrow region wide?

Western wildfire season gonna be apocalyptic I fear
