3/15/10 Daily Weather Discussion

Now that winter is over and there is more time in between storms I am going to once again start this daily weather discussion. I should be able to keep this updated now on a daily basis.

Brief Winter Recap:

Moderate to strong el nino in place which resulted in 56.7 inches of snow for the season in Allentown Pa. This was well above normal for the winter season and was a winter that satisfied the snow lovers of the mid atlantic!


Now here at R.W.S we have now moved into spring time and our focus has shifted to heavy rains & thunderstorms, potential hurricanes & potential tornados.

From the most recent system that has delivered rain across the region we have had slightly over 2 inches of rain. Approximately 2.23 total inches... temperatures have been quite mild keeping the precipitation all rain across the area and any precipitation that falls in the Allentown area for the duration of this event should remain all rain...

The high temperature at KABE was 51 degrees for 3/14/10

Summary of the weather the past 24 + hours has been windy and wet. Summary of the weather for the next 24 hours is a continuation of the same type of weather. Possible rain and breezy conditions though the winds have tapered drastically from what they were.
So for today a continuation of rain is possible. However...I do not think the whole day will be wet. i think that from extreme eastern PA into SE PA into NJ south into eastern MD/DE have the best chance for rainfall and as you head further into the Northeast ...there will be rain there as well.

Temperatures across the area are generally going to be in the 40s with 30s in the higher elevations of the northeast where it may be possible to pick up some snow in the early morning hours..

So if you are out and about today you might want to keep an umbrella handy!
