12z NAM has some snow in the Lehigh Valley on Saturday morning too. C-1” before it changes to rain and quickly melts. Still would be pretty unusual to see in mid-April with the trees budding.
At my mechanic getting some lights on my dash checked out and there’s a guy there in a T-shirt and shorts. No jacket anywhere to be seen. It’s currently 39 and windy.
On my way home from the Union game (unfortunately they tied 0-0 tonight) and this is a halfway decent storm we’re in. Heavy rain with a bit of lightning. Lots of storms developing behind it, hopefully Allentown can get in on the fun later.
3km NAM has a nasty squall line sweep through the area this evening. The HRRR keeps storms weaker and has them stay mostly south of I-78. Will be interesting to see how today plays out.
Some of the hi-res models are hinting at a backdoor cold front moving through tomorrow night. Hopefully the warm front can make it far enough north on Sunday so we’re not cloudy and cool.
Snow/graupel showers being reported in the Lehigh Valley, even with temps in the mid 40s. Pretty rare to see frozen precip with surface temps this warm.
12z GFS seems to be on its own for next weekend. It has 30s and 40s with a SECS the following Tuesday. Meanwhile all the other models flex the SE ridge and get us into the 70s.
GFS just does not want to give up on the Thursday night snow event. No other models agree with it. We saw what happened with a situation like this 2 weeks ago. It folded like a deck of cards.
