ChescoWx Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago We are seeing some lake effect streamers making into as far southeast as Chester County this morning and don't be surprised if we see a couple more snow showers during the day. We have already reached our high temperature for the day at about 130 this morning. Today’s temperatures will remain below freezing in most spots with wind gusts as high as 35 mph. Our top 10 coldest start to December looks like it will continue for at least the next week, and we may see a couple of snow chances over the next few days. The first one overnight Friday night looks very light while the next potential event toward Sunday morning could bring some locations their “largest” snow event this season. Of course, that would not be hard to do as our largest "event" has only been 0.5" Behind whatever happens on Sunday another very cold air mass moves in on Sunday night and lasts through Tuesday with temperatures from Sunday through Tuesday remaining in the mid to upper 20's for highs with lows in the teens.

I'm saving up for the Wiggam storm to be N'ah, the Wiggum storm is the Christmas Blizzard he promised us a few pages back. Just .20" yesterday. Currently 31F. Funny how it only got above freezing this week for a few hours when the precip arrived. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I think anyone expecting a Christmas "torch" will be unhappy. While it will of course get warmer - heck this is one of the coldest first half's of December since the 1890s. I don't see this like the 1989 pattern. I suspect Christmas week while a lot warmer than now...will be not too far above normal readings for Christmas IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago NAM and ECM both have rain for us south and east to start changing to snow. 2 inches is enough to cover the grass. All I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago From one of my favorite professionals Bobby Martrich at EPAWA on the upcoming milder but not torch pattern before cold returns. "A lot of talk recently about a Christmas week "torch" and yes, there have and will be changes to the late next week period to just past Christmas that will take us out of the tank where we've been for much of December, and moderate the pattern. The culprit is a nearly 5 sigma high pressure/ridge over the Bering Sea, which was poorly modeled last week, and responded to a combination of a Scandinavian blocking pattern and the EAMT that retracted the Pacific jet too far... allowing this ridge to pop over the Bering Sea. If you watched the WW video last Sunday when I had @ShaneMartrich on, he talked about his research and lack of data in the polar regions. This may be one of those cases why the models and ensembles had a knee-jerk reaction this week. Kind of their version of an "oh crap" moment. By doing so, it turns the EPO positive, so the cross-polar flow is temporarily shut off. But for transparency, this is far from a "torch" pattern for us. Milder than now, yes... but aside from a synoptically-driven spike ahead of a cutter near the 18th, temperatures return closer to average instead of 15-20° below like they have been. This will be temporary, and may last more than a week, then colder returns late month and January." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted 57 minutes ago Share Posted 57 minutes ago RGEM is a nice swatch of 4-6". Nice to see things coming together rather than the opposite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted 40 minutes ago Share Posted 40 minutes ago GFS did move north a bit from it's 6z run...but still south of some of the other models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
