our tease

ps.. nice to see Glen made it to the new Forum. Hi Glen!

Great to see those obs of snow! Thought I lost all of you with the end of Eastern. You can send pictures to our website or through our facebook page and we might put them on the air. And that holds true all through the winter. There's nothing that can compare to real-time observations from people who actually know what they're seeing (sleet vs. freezing rain, for example).

Wxsim module still paints a somewhat icy picture for the NW Philly burbs until early Sunday AM.

About 0.28" of precip falls before temps rise above 0c

Saturday night: Mostly cloudy in the evening, becoming dense overcast after

midnight. A slight chance of a mix of freezing rain and sleet in the evening,

then a mix of freezing rain and sleet likely after midnight. Low 28, but

temperatures rising after midnight. Wind east-southeast around 4 mph in the

evening, becoming 8 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation 60 percent.

Precipitation (liquid equivalent) mostly around a quarter of an inch. Little or

no ice (on ground) accumulation expected. Above-ground freezing rain

accumulation up to 0.2 inches.

Sunday: Dense overcast. Rain very likely. High 40. Wind east around 12 mph in

the morning, becoming south in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation 80

percent. Precipitation mostly around half an inch.

Sunday night: Cloudy in the evening, becoming partly to mostly cloudy after

midnight. Patchy light fog in the evening. A chance of a mix of rain and snow in

the evening, then a slight chance of a mix of snow and rain after midnight. Low

30. Wind west-southwest around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation 50 percent.

Precipitation (liquid equivalent) mostly around a tenth of an inch. Little or no

snow accumulation expected.

Paul,

That is interesting on how that forecast differentiates between ice on the ground and accruing on exposed surfaces.

I would have thought occurring at night and after the cold week that the gap would be smaller.

NW New Jersey may see some snow and ice before changing to rain in the morning.

From the NWS:

Saturday Night: A slight chance of rain and snow before 10pm, then a slight chance of snow between 10pm and midnight, then a chance of snow and freezing rain after midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 28. East wind between 3 and 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

Sunday: Rain or freezing rain, becoming all rain after 9am. High near 44. East wind between 6 and 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

Sunday Night: Rain before 9pm, then snow. Low around 27. Southeast wind 6 to 10 mph becoming west. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

Such a disappointment considering how cold it has been over the past week. At least it'll turn cold again after the weekend storm.
