E PA/NJ/DE Spring 2026 Obs/Discussion
LVblizzard replied to PhiEaglesfan712's topic in Philadelphia Region
Looks like we could warm up on Saturday and Sunday, depending on the timing of the warm/cold fronts. The most aggressive models get highs into the 70s on Sunday. Ensembles are much less enthused with highs in the 50s. -

At least you have an estimate. The neighborhood half a mile from me still doesn’t know when it might come back on. There’s a state route that runs through there which is still closed due to wires being down. -

Reports of a microburst or possible weak tornado in south Allentown. Trees and wires down everywhere just north of the Lehigh Street exit off I-78. -

That’s what I suspected too. The flashes were on the horizon and none of them lit up the whole sky. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that around here, especially 3 times in 2 minutes like I just did. -

That line was pretty crazy. We didn’t get the 68 mph gust that Reading did but it had to have gusted past 50. Power is still on here, hopefully it stays on. The neighborhoods just to my southeast aren’t so lucky. I think I saw some power flashes from that outage as RadarScope is showing no lightning. -

The afternoon stuff looks like it’ll be the main show at this point. The line along the cold front will be some gusty winds and nothing more. -

A lot of the mesos fail to advance the most favorable severe parameters past Berks/Lebanon counties tomorrow. This doesn’t diminish the wind threat much but the chance for supercells could be confined to central PA. -

Ya know what, if it’s gonna be cold, give us more snow. Cold and dry this time of year is brutal. Snow at least makes it a little more interesting. Plus the cleanup doesn’t take as long with the sun angle helping melt the snow very quickly this time of year. -

SPC put out an enhanced risk towards the Suquehanna River area. Would not be surprised to see that expanded north and east in later outlooks. -

Steady light snow in Allentown. Not sticking to anything. We need it to get heavier to coat the grass and cars. -

Whole lot of virga in Allentown right now. We did get a bit of sleet earlier though. -

The snow pile at the end of my neighbor's driveway has finally melted. All that's left is the piles in parking lots. -

Looks like it did! Seeing some lightning to the north for the first thunderstorm of the year! -

Snowpack is officially gone. There’s a shady spot in my yard that still had some remnants left. Today’s rain washed that away. All that’s left now is the pile at the end of my driveway. Overall a very impressive duration, I had snow on the ground there for a month and a half straight. -

0z mesos are way less amped with Sunday’s little wave which makes it cold enough for snow down to I-78. Gonna be interesting to see if that trend continues. -

I swear this stuff always happens at the exact moment we all get sick of the snow and cold. -

Major agreement for this on the globals and ensembles now. It looks like we could have an extended period of 60s and 70s starting late next week. -

Another failure by the models here. They all had about an inch last night pretty consistently for days. We got nothing but virga and maybe a flurry. This is honestly just as frustrating as a bigger bust because it seems like such a simple setup that just never materialized for some reason. -

Well that Thursday threat disappeared quickly. It was never going to be anything big but a little burst of snow would have been nice. Crazy to think some models had it in upstate NY two days ago…now it’s suppressed to the south. -

Thursday’s storm keeps trending towards a miss. I’ll have to enjoy the inch or so I get tonight, even if the sun angle causes it to melt immediately tomorrow. -

LVblizzard replied to Ginx snewx's topic in New England
Even when I say I'm sick of winter and ready for warmer weather, the minute that late March/early April threat comes around I'm watching the models and cheering on snow just like in the middle of winter. -
Snow is melting quick here. A third of it is gone already.

I think the problem is that they rely too heavily on the NBM which has far more mesos/SREF data ingested into it than global model data. The same thing happened a month ago in the DC area, the NBM kept giving them a foot when it was clear they would be mostly sleet.

Ended with about 6 inches here. Not a huge bust on the level of Boxing Day or Juno, but it’s definitely a “what could have been” storm.
