A quick update: A few reports of slick spots in Northern Bucks and Montgomery counties as some localized areas have dipped below freezing. I am being a little pessimistic on sun chances tomorrow because of a westward Low feeding our cloud cover. As of now, I think the extra cloud cover will keep temperatures a little cooler than anticipated and I have elected to forecast a high in the low 40s (vs. upper 40s). I think today's trend may be a good indicator of tomorrow, which provided more cloud cover than sun and thus...cooler temperatures. Another round of rain is set to arrive late Friday and last through early Saturday. At this point the models have been converging on this time-table and the track is consistent on bringing us rain.

 

Another shot of rain is expected on Monday with the possibility of a wintry mix; at this point confidence is low on the precipitation type. Temperatures are expected to be in the mid 40s before dropping off into the upper 30s midweek.

 

Enjoy!

Well, upper 50s are theoretically possible...it all depends on the wind. I don't think the winds will be strong enough to "mix down" the warmer temperatures. We'll see what happens as we get a little closer.

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!
