Currently 32f been holding steady at 32f for some time now.
Episodes of sun and clouds with passing snow showers quite windy too gusting to 35-40 mph at times (dam confluence!)
Snowfall today: Trace
Total Snowfall Year: 1.88"
12z gfs
I would say down here in Delaware County looks like a 4-6” event not 100% sure what ratios will do but it’s probably in the teens and snowing! We take!
Thoughts?
Currently 31f Cloudy with snow flurries flying: Looks like a pretty good snow shower moving rapidly southeast on the back side of our blocking low pressure that needs to leave like now in order to get out of the way for Monday if we want appreciable snow.
Total Snowfall in Media This snow season: 1.88"
To me isn’t this what the gfs and other models showing lobe up north moving further away. I really have a tough time trusting 18z runs there not called off runs for nothing. I’ll be patient until 0z to see real lasting changes or trends as I wave good bye to this little pesky storm stage right and get outta the way of the more important storm on Monday.
30f currently dew point 21f wind NNE 7 mph
Total Snow: Coating 0.35" or so underwhelming
You can see the low developing to our SE rapidly moving ENE and away....>>>>> That's it leave get out of the way get outta here for and out of the way for our Monday storm.
100% Ralph exactly my thoughts. Note the movement straight east it would not take much to bend the overall flow behind this system a bit more southwesterly aloft. Also as modeled 24 hours ago this little system doesn’t appear nearly as dynamic or strong from my eyes.
Looks like a band setting up just south of the Turnpike in Chester County so there is that heading due east.
Also, I am still willing to bet( not too much money though) that models tick northbound tonight when our system today leaves stage right.
All 0z runs tonight is your best bet to start trying to understand the final outcome. We are not quite there yet in my opinion and past experience following models and past set ups including this potential set up.
The orientation is completely changed on this model from 3 pm yesterday a NW to SE flow is very apparent on this map now can this NW flow move out quick enough for Monday think this set up holds the keys and what’s going on up north
