I’m gonna like this warm up. It’s going to be muted but well deserved.

However, I do believe in 10 days we could be tracking snow events again.

Yeah some guidance is showing enough blues close enough to keep an eye out around St. Patty's day for some winter shenanigans.

We tend to get snow or snow/sleet in that time range often.

Bah humbug...

Seems like the warmth keeps getting pushed back, and even muted somewhat. Today only 41 and tomorrow only 43. 

Was supposed to be the 50's. You winter guys just keep on winning...

It’s a loss for both of us if it isn’t snowing.

Yeah. In this pattern nobody really gets what they want. It's just sucky.

But it is waaaaay too early for 70s and 80s. That shouldn’t be happening consistently until May. 40s and 50s are more seasonal and a more gradual way for spring to spring. For some twisted reason, people think early Spring means flip flop weather and that is just false.

Low of 42 with .12” of rainfall. PIAA state wrestling championships begin today in Hershey, let’s go!

Yeah this weeks "warmup" so far has been an epic fail.  Just looked and NWS has me in upper 40's today and tomorrow.  i memory serves a week ago I thought I'd be in the 60's and some said ticklin 70.  Regardless this is typical spring weather and while I HATE mud....we need the rain and looks like plenty of chances to suppress the spring wildfire worries.

The Appalachians will act like a weather divide across Pennsylvania tomorrow.

Warm southwesterly winds push mild air into western PA, while cool easterly flow traps clouds and chilly air east of the mountains. Same state. Same afternoon. Very different air masses!
