CoolHandMike Posted Saturday at 09:36 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:36 PM Wind advisory for Berks just went up. Good grief, I swear I don't remember it ever being as windy as it has been these past few years. It's kind of ridiculous. My wife and I were going to do a bunch of outdoor stuff today but we noped out when it started gusting above 20. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted Saturday at 10:24 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:24 PM Currently in Princeton for work, close to the university. It is ridiculously windy there right now. One gust actually affected my walking to the point where I stumbled a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, definitely felt like 30-40 mph gust. Appeared the white dried up salt stuff was blowing around in the shopping center parking lot. Still some mounds lingering...

ChescoWx Posted Sunday at 03:14 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:14 PM March sees a rapid increase in our temperatures by the end of the month. We start the month with average high temperatures in the low to mid 40's and end the month in the mid to upper 50's. Following that pattern, we will see well below temperatures today and tomorrow before we rebound to well above normal by Wednesday and then fall back to near normal to close out the work week. We have an excellent shot at some much-needed rainfall this week...arriving Tuesday night and lasting until Wednesday night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeymac5306 Posted Sunday at 04:52 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:52 PM Sorry I couldn't bring back any of the upper 70's weather from Vegas last week. Staring at 27 and wind is not fun this first week of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted Monday at 02:23 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:23 PM New years eve all over again on Wednesday evening folks That is the last time we had t storms and significant rains. 1-3 inches of rain will be a billion dollar rain event for farmers and landscapers in eastern PA and will definitely help this years crops and finally reestablished green lawns again. However, this rainfall event will only put a dent in the long term drought but it will be a significant dent in getting water back into the ground. The combination of warmer temps of 50 degrees on Tuesday into the weekend with the heavy rain will thaw out the entire frozen soil profile quickly. With no extreme overnight cold temps like over the past weekend, the greener lawns and budding of trees, daffodils and other bulbs popping up will be noticeable by the end of the weekend. Their is also a real good chance of a squall line with severe t- storms, straight line winds and a severe t- storm tornado watch being issued. Best potential weather event all winter. But after this event, it is back to the SOS again with wind and dry temps. At least the fire danger will be gone. Once the cold front tracks through the area late Wednesday night, precipitation will diminish as drier air begins to move in from the west. In terms of rainfall amounts, expecting between 0.5-1.0 inches across the Coastal Plain. Across the higher terrain of northeast PA and NJ, including the Lehigh Valley, rainfall amounts between 1-2 inches are expected. Localized higher amounts could be possible.

ChescoWx Posted Monday at 02:34 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:34 PM Another chilly day today before we warm up and get wet by midweek. We again trend chillier to below normal temperatures by the end of the week. Rain looks to arrive by Wednesday morning and continue most of the day with some spots seeing upwards of 1 inch of rain.

I will one up you and say wind advisory criteria will be met with a brief shower as the LP moves away . Personally this is graupel type of storm event as unstable cold air advects. I tell you what really made me LOL almost made me piss my pants was the aftermath of this BS storm event with the temps as seen below. When is the last time we saw -4 temps in middle march? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time we got those temperatures in March was in 2014 and 2015, and that was early in the month, following historical cold in January and February. Yep, this is not going to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
