Temperatures are expected to warm nicely over the next few days. Today we had to contend with an irritatingly slow "clipper" system which was a delight to ski lovers and snow lovers far north...but provided nothing but a cold, damp, clammy Monday for the rest of us.
Temperatures are expected to edge out the 50s and 60s by midweek. The debate is just how warm we are able to get. I have decided to go on the cool side of the computer guidance. It has been apparent that the models have been forecasting way to warm recently. For instance the ensemble mean computer model forecast was 47 for Monday, compared to what we actually hit for a high...42. Because of this trend (and I do say trend because it has been doing this for this entire pattern) I have kept this week’s temperatures on the cool side. The clouds will be stubborn to break and the southerly flow will be inconsistent at low levels, which leads me to forecast a lower daily temperature. This will probably last until the pattern breaks...which looks to be in early December. At that point...it looks like we'll be transitioning to a much colder setup.
Enjoy!

I am currently the freelance Meteorologist for WTXF/FOX 29 in Philadelphia. Born and raised in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, I earned a degree in Meteorology from Rutgers University and hold the AMS "Seal of Approval" for excellence in television Meteorology. At Rutgers, I specialized in Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York microclimates and "Urban Heat Islands". In addition to my research in urban climates and snowfall forecasting, I also served as an undergraduate lecturer for "Weather, Climate and Environmental Design" at Rutgers-New Brunswick. While an undergrad, I also created the University's first Broadcast Meteorology Program which serves to teach scientists how to become better communicators. Prior to FOX 29, I served as the Chief Meteorologist for the CBS & FOX Duopoly in Sioux City, Iowa. I have also worked in the weather departments at News 12 New Jersey and WNYW/FOX 5 New York as an intern. Before my work in the weather world, I also held various positions at "The Intelligencer" and the now-defunct "Tri-State Media News Network" owned by Suburban Cable (now Comcast Cable). I love Philly and the weather challenges it brings! From the Shore to the Poconos and all points in-between, I am thrilled to be forecasting for where I grew up. Be sure to drop me a line if you have any questions or comments!
