Storm totals so far across the Chesco area

Hey Kevin - thanks! It has some subtropical characteristics....but it's more of a hybrid mid latitude cyclone....the storm Thursday-Friday was cold core for sure.

The Nor’easter is located off the NJ coast this morning and will drift toward and possibly into South Jersey by tomorrow AM and finally weaken on Monday. The ChescoWx model has over 1.80" of rain here in East Nantmeal by Monday morning. Winds could gust today as high as 40 mph causing some trees to fall and some power outages. Very chilly today with highs mostly remaining in the 50's. Once the storm passes we start a warming trend with highs by mid-week in the low to mid 70's which is a few degrees above normal for the very end of September.

Our stretch of below normal temperature days looks to continue through the weekend before a nice moderating trend next week.

Some nice rain totals across Northern Chesco

Not the best weather week on the way. Rain is at least possible every day through Friday. Best chances of rain will be today into tonight and again tomorrow night into Tuesday. There is the potential a coastal storm could develop from Wednesday into Thursday which could increase the rain threat but at this point plenty of uncertainty on when and where that storm will track. Either way well below normal temperatures on the way with highs from Tuesday through Thursday according to the ChescoWx model not escaping the 50's with lows in the 40's.
