Needed Rain Ahead
A couple of systems will bring some much needed rain to the Delaware Valley this weekend.
Summer Preview
A warm air mass continues to build into the Delaware Valley and peak on Monday with high temperatures about 25 degrees above average.
Back To Reality
The past two weeks consisted of several days with temperatures 15 to around 30 degrees above average. It was a bit unusual for the month of March since we average in the low to mid 50s.
Below Average Temperatures
It’s colder than average temperatures, something we haven’t talked about much all winter long. An upper-level jet stream trough has positioned itself over the mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
Saturday Snow Squalls
Along with the wind, a jet stream disturbance triggered off a few bands of some heavier snow, which came through late this morning and early afternoon.
Spring-like Temperatures
The mild winter continues as spring-like temperatures return to the forecast over the next few days.
Sunday Storm…A Close Call
It seems like Presidents Day weekend is a magnet for snowstorm potential. There have been some historical storms this time of year for the Delaware Valley.
National Weatherperson’s Day
February 5th is National Weatherperson’s Day which commemorates the birth of John Jeffries who is one of America’s first weather observers.
Near Record Highs
January ended and February begins with spring-like temperatures. Highs both days soared into the 60s ranging 20-25 degrees above the average.
A Warm January
As we head into the last few days of January, the monthly temperatures remain well above average. You can blame the lack of cold so far on the La Nina pattern, which is cooler than average equatorial Pacific Ocean water temperatures.
Freezing Rain Advisory
The first widespread winter storm finally impacted the Delaware Valley this weekend dropping an average of 2-4” of snow with some amounts up to 6” and areas of freezing rain.
Beyond The Forecast: Another Brief Cold Blast
Temperatures this weekend stayed below average as quick shot of arctic air blasted into the Delaware Valley. Highs on Saturday made it into the mid 30s with the average high being in the upper 30s.
BLOG: Above Average Temps Continue
Highs on Sunday reached the mid to upper 40s which is still well above the average high of 40 degrees. Temperatures will cool down a bit more into the low to mid 40s for Monday as an area of low pressure tracks by to our south.
BLOG: Coldest Morning Of The Season
A large area of high pressure is situated over the Delaware Valley keeping the forecast dry, but it has brought a brief surge of cold air.
More Mild Temperatures
After a cool start to the weekend with a high of 50 on Saturday, southerly winds with sunshine bumped temperatures in the upper 50s today.
