I’ve been very impressed with this pattern the last few weeks. Essentially, it’s been a winter-like pattern with cold air dumping out of Canada clashing with moisture from the south or the coast keeping us in a chilly malaise of wet weather. This is like the spring that never was. It was weird on Sunday seeing people wear jackets in the middle of May. Uh, it’s supposed to be 74 degrees not 54 degrees!

 

Well, I want you to know that this forecast, like last week’s, will see some improvement in the overall pattern. 70s will be much more common and while we do have various shots of rain (Wednesday morning, Saturday and Tuesday), it’s certainly not going to be day after day of rain and clouds we’ve been experiencing this month. I promise, the consistent warmth we all want will be here soon!  

Wednesday starts with some light rain, but that will move out with sunshine returning in the afternoon. Temperatures will rebound into the 60s after the rain.

The only word to describe Thursday’s weather is “beautiful.” It will be filled with sunshine and warmth!

Friday takes the warmth even a step further as temperatures get comfortably into the 70s. A storm system approaches from the South so clouds will increase at night.

Look for rain, especially in the afternoon, on Saturday. There is a slight chance the storm could stay mostly south of Philly, but chances are we will get SOME rain from it. If nothing else we get clouds and drizzle. Temps top out around 70 on Saturday.

The rain retreats for Sunday, but it will still be cloudy with limited sunshine. Not a bad day, not a great day.

Sunshine and warmth are in full effect on Monday. Temperatures may very well reach 80 in many places!

Tuesday is a difficult weather day to predict. On the one hand, we may have a coastal storm to deal with and rain; on the other it could be 80 and sunny. Right now I think the rain scenario plays out, but let’s hope I’m wrong. Follow the daily updates for the final solution to this forecast.

The weather winner of the week is Monday; the weather loser is Saturday!
