E PA/NJ/DE Winter 2025-26 Obs/Discussion
ChescoWx replied to LVblizzard's topic in Philadelphia Region
Well at least for East Nantmeal (not all of Chesco sites) -7.3 below normal. I plugged in the NWS forecast to close out the month. We will finish around 6 degrees below normal and it will be the 2nd coldest December at my location in the 23 years I have been here. Behind only 2010. -
Central PA Winter 25/26 Discussion and Obs

Cloudy with temperatures slowly rising to near and then above freezing this evening. There could be a couple light showers this evening that in some of the higher ridge areas could briefly see some light icing if temperatures are still freezing when the showers arrive. The good news is temperatures will continue to rise tonight and well into the 40's tomorrow with a line of showers passing through in the morning. We will become sharply colder again tomorrow with temperatures dropping to freezing by evening. We then stay well below normal for the remainder of the week and into the first week of 2026. Next light snow chance looks possible around New Year's Day. -

I notice the NWS has a high of 40 degrees tomorrow on my point and click but the NAM keeps highs within a couple degrees of freezing and the 18z shows some ZR as the rain arrives tomorrow PM edit that is because temps will continue to rise through the evening! -

With our 0.8" of sleet and ice yesterday our December snow total is now at 11.2" this is the 5th most in December in the 23 years I have been at this location. Temperatures today will struggle to get to freezing so be careful out there. We warm to near 40 degrees tomorrow and then turn unseasonably warm on Monday with highs into the middle 50's. To go along with the warmer temperatures rain will arrive tomorrow night and last into Monday. The cold returns by Monday night and we will end the days leading into the New Year with well below normal temperatures. -

I think when the precipitation intensity is lower it will be ZR and as it gets heavier most spots will be sleet. Temp here continues to slowly fall down to 25.2 with DP up to 15.8 The next heavier band should be moving in from the west during the 5pm hour -

If the HRRR is correct anything after 4pm in Chester County will be in some form other than snow. The below looks like sleet at 4pm at KMQS. Cold air is strong at the surface so I suspect we start with sleet and gradually go to ZR. With some minor sleet accumulations. Currently 26.9 degrees and a DP of 10.0 here in EN -

Our 6th winter event of the season arrives across the area late this afternoon and evening. We should see a brief period of snow followed by a longer period of accumulating sleet and ending early tomorrow as some freezing drizzle. Temperatures will remain well below freezing in most spots with highs in the middle and upper 20's. Road conditions will deteriorate rapidly this evening. We will stay cloudy and cold tomorrow with temperatures near freezing. Rain arrives on Sunday afternoon and lasts through much of Monday with much warmer temperatures on Monday. We turn sharply colder again on Monday night with temperatures remaining well below normal to close out 2025 and welcome in 2026. -
