ChescoWx

Have not measured yet but looks like we are closing in on 1 inch of snow here in NW Chesco with the temp down to 30.7

Roads starting to get covered here in NW Chesco above 600 ft....temp down to 31.0

Huh? did you miss the 5" to 11" of snow across Chester County last February 13th??

Steady snow across NW Chester County with our 2nd measurable snow of the year

Snowing steadily now here across NW Chesco the temp is down to 32.5 degrees and the radar is filling in to the west.

The latest HRRR if you dare to believe has a general 1" to 3" across the area....if that were to actually occur most would be pleased

As usual I suspect this IVT will have a surprise or 2 up it's sleeve. I suspect the relative "jackpot" will run somewhere between NE Philly and Central NJ.....

Some very light snow has already been reported across the area this morning. We should see light snow mixed with rain across SE portions of the area before becoming all snow toward evening. Snow amounts look light with between 0.5" to as much as 2.0" in spots. It is a difficult forecast for the NWS as the development of a norlun trough could enhance snow amounts for a targeted area this evening. Either way roads should remain just wet during the day with accumulations only on non-paved surfaces and temps a few degrees above freezing in lower spots. Some higher However, by nightfall temperatures will fall below freezing and depending on where the snow showers set up we could see some slippery conditions for a time overnight into Saturday morning. Our coldest weather of the young winter season arrives this weekend with low temperatures by Monday morning as low as 4 degrees above zero.

Latest NAM shows "uh greatest" snowfall over Chesco and middle Delaware....time to get the blower gassed up!!

It's not the norlun on that model....simply the relatively impressive upper level trough that digs as it moves from west to east. Not saying I buy this solution either!

Euro tries to paint a general 2" to 5" event NW Of I95

NAM gives most folks at least a little snow....if you choose to believe!

3KM vs 12 KM NAM

With our 0.26" of rain last evening, we are now above normal for rain this month and up to 95% of normal precipitation for the year to date. Today starts a stretch of at least the next week averaging at or below normal temperatures for Christmas Week. We will also have a couple chances of snow. The first chance is tomorrow afternoon into the night and again on Christmas Eve. It will turn very cold over the weekend with low temperatures in the single digits for many by Monday morning. Today also marks the 15th anniversary (2009) of one of our larger Christmas week snowstorms when between 10" to 15" of snow fell across the area. That snow led to one of our 2 most recent White Christmas (last one was in 2012).

18z NAM still trying to squeeze a tiny bit of snow across the area

6z NAM for the "potential" Friday PM event...

Today will be our last milder day as a cold front and some rain will cross the area later today into this evening. Close to normal temperatures tomorrow before a turn to much colder than typical for the weekend before Christmas. By Friday afternoon we may see some snow developing before the coldest weather so far this season arrives for the weekend. Highs should remain in the 20's Saturday through Monday with lows by Sunday night not too far from 10 degrees above zero.

We have picked up 0.93" of rain over the past 3 days here in East Nantmeal. We are now at nearly 95% of normal precipitation to date for 2024. We should see the sun return today with our warmest day for at least the next week. We should see high temperatures well into the 50's before they start to drop later in the day. Tomorrow is trending a good bit chillier than earlier forecast and is looking to be a pretty chilly and increasingly wet day by the afternoon into the evening. Temperatures may struggle to escape the 30's across the higher terrain. By Friday afternoon we could see some snow showers with a clipper type system before we turn sharply colder for the weekend with the coldest air of the young winter season.

We picked up 0.77" of rain here in East Nantmeal with most spots picking up between 0.65" to 0.95" of rain across Chester County. We get a brief break in the rain today before rain arrives again later this evening. We could see another 0.25" to 0.50" of rain tonight. The sun returns and warmer tomorrow before we start a cooling trend that will lead to our coldest weather so far this season by the weekend. Rain chances again on Wednesday PM and maybe a little snow by Friday afternoon and evening before we turn sharply colder over the weekend.
