Central PA Autumn 2024


Recommended Posts

Some progs are just an all-out rainy weekend starting afternoon Saturday through all of Sunday....as the LSV gets into the periphery of the influence from the coastal low.   Other are more convection based.    Fingers crossed our dry spell ends this weekend. 

 

MDT has been on a heater of late with 7 of the last 8 days AN and the current monthly average has dipped down to just -1/1 BN after the chilly start to the month.   Still only .16 of qpf for the month.  Only 1.21" here since August 9th which I believe makes this the second driest period for my area since the drought of 2020.

Today and tomorrow look like our last above normal temperature days for a while with highs both days well into the 70's at higher spots with low 80's at some of the valley locales. Highs starting Sunday through Thursday will mostly remain in the 60's. Rain chances finally look more likely by later Tuesday through Wednesday.
Chester County Records for today: High 97 degrees at Kennett Square (1895) / Low 32 degrees at Coatesville 1SW (1956) / Rain 4.40" at West Chester (1989)

For some reason I thought he was behind that new venue in Millersville. 

Im not really up on what he does, but it wouldnt surprise me. 

I read this in the newspaper in the break room, and thought it worth sharing.  Dunno.

My NWS zone has .75-1.25" possible tomorrow.  That is gung ho. 

 

The approach of the left exit region of a relatively strong
upper level jet on Saturday will combine with moderately high
sfc dewpoints in the low to mid 60s (with corresponding PWAT of
around 1-1.25 inches) to spark an area of showers/scattered
embedded TSRA that could bring localized damaging straight-line
wind gusts and hail, mainly in the late afternoon/early evening
hours across much of Central PA and the Susq Valleys per
clustering/mean of high res models.

Interesting. That doesn't match the current zone forecasts. Here's mine for Saturday: 

A chance of showers and thunderstorms after 5pm. Patchy fog before 10am. Otherwise, partly sunny, with a high near 80. Calm wind becoming southeast around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. 
Saturday Night
A chance of showers and thunderstorms before 8pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm between 8pm and 2am, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 63. Calm wind. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
