Central PA Winter 25/26 Discussion and Obs

Wind is here.

Looks like a boring pattern for awhile.

Showers this morning with a morning high in the upper 40's but after a cold front swings through near noon temperatures will fall and winds will increase. A Wind Advisory is in effect from 10am today through 1pm tomorrow. We should reach freezing by around 5pm this evening. Once we fall below freezing we may not see above freezing temperatures again for the rest of the year. We look dry for the rest of the week except for a slight chance of some snow flurries on New Year's Eve. Of note we will finish around 6 degrees below normal here for December 2025 and it will be the 2nd coldest December here in East Nantmeal in the 23 years I have been recording observations - behind only 2010.

Well, we managed to creep up to 36 degrees, but I'm not sure if we'll crack 40 or not. Either way, I'm not looking forward to the wind this afternoon. Last wind event had me all screwed up with trees and wires down, and a tight detour, before I was told to use the turnpike.

Wind is starting here now.

Wind has arrived. Won’t leave until late Wednesday. Strongest (50+ gusts) early, early afternoon through late this evening.

Good day to watch the barometric pressure - currently way down there at 29.34" and falling slowly. No wind, 49.7 degrees.

[canderson]

That didn’t take long. 52 mph winds.

Sun is out here. Wind picking up. Temp 45.

[WmsptWx]

I don't think the temperature ever got to 40°F here today. Winds are definitely whipping.

We had a rapid rise of 9 degrees in 15 minutes from 36 around noon to 45 around 12:15.
