Continued breezy today and tomorrow with below normal temperatures not far from 50 degrees. We briefly warm on Monday with highs well into the 60's before a strong cold front crosses the area not too long after the evening rush hour. Rain chances to ramp up tomorrow night with over an inch possible by later Monday. We could see some severe weather Monday evening. With the cold frontal passage Monday night, we could again see rain changing to wet snow with temperatures dropping over 20 degrees over a couple of hours. Tuesday and Wednesday will be unseasonably cold with highs barely above freezing on Tuesday and remaining in the 30's on Wednesday.

With yesterday's 0.5" of snow, we have now recorded measurable snow in each of the last 5 months from November through March. This is the 6th time that has happened in the last 23 seasons here in East Nantmeal Township. While we have recorded measurable April snow 7 times since 2004 (including last April) we have never recorded snow in 6 consecutive months. No snow in our future at least till Monday night but below normal temperatures both today and tomorrow before near normal (low 50's) highs on Sunday. We warm briefly to well above normal Monday before a strong cold front crosses the area with some potential for severe weather and another potential change to some wet snow before ending on Monday night. Unseasonably cold weather through much of next week appears likely.

On a plane back from spring training in Clearwater. Cams show 34.1 and steady wet snow falling

A few spots hit 80 degrees yesterday. Almost same temp here in Clearwater for Phillies spring training! Today will be at least a few degrees cooler but still unseasonably warm. We turn sharply colder with rain possibly changing to some snow during the day tomorrow with falling temperatures. Below normal temperatures in the 40's both Friday and Saturday before we warm to near normal on Sunday and Monday with highs in the low 50's. Rain arrives Monday and yet another sharp cold front could change that rain to some snow. We turn unseasonably cold by next Tuesday with highs not too far above freezing.

This warm stretch keeps getting eroded...

We have picked up 0.18" of rain since midnight and 0.50" of rain over the last 3 days. We will see more rain later today and tonight before we dry out a bit tomorrow. A couple more showers Saturday as we start our long awaited warm up through much of next week. We could see highs near 70 degrees by Tuesday.

Unfortunately, our warmth will be a bit muted for the rest of the work week along with rain much of the time. Today will likely be our "warmest" day of the work week with highs in the upper 40's. The pain of spring in the Northeast with chilly ocean water temperatures will rear its ugly head for the rest of the week as winds back off the very chilly ocean and drive temps back down into the low to mid 40's at best for both Thursday and Friday. We finally warm up for the weekend with temps into the 60's. We should see as much as 0.75" to an inch of beneficial rains over the rest of the work week.
