I'll use the word "wicked" for the weather ahead,
and no it has nothing to do with witches or a never-before-known Boston
accent. I say “wicked” because of the mix it brings of both snow and rain
together. We are in the "target zone" for storms the next few days.
These aren't expected to be of much significance, but will prove to be quite
annoying by the middle of next week. As the mid-level jet stream aligns right
over Philadelphia, the epic battle
between warm air and cold air will play out right over us. We get the benefit
of being stuck in the middle.
Clouds will make themselves comfortable around here the next few days as the
first in a long line of weakling fronts arrives tomorrow. We could see a spritz
around the region tomorrow afternoon, with some seeing flurries, others
raindrops. Another line of showers will arrive and pose the "precipitation
type" test on Sunday before a much larger storm arrives on Monday
providing rain showers into Tuesday. It does appear the larger Monday storm
will be all rain at this point. If you're a fan of sunshine, you'll just have
to hold out hope for late Wednesday and Thursday.
Despite your want for cold or warmth, just remember to take it easy of the
roads and sidewalks. Some spots can still be icy.

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!
