Weather Pattern Discussion...Rain, Warmth, But Snow To The North?
Hello this is Junior Meteorologist Kyle Elliott with our weather pattern discussion...and before I apologize again for not posting for like 3 days, I might as well inform ya'll that my posts will begin to get less and less frequent as we go throughout spring. The reason for this is because of my work load at school which is quickly becoming quite strenuous along with the fact that about April 15th and beyond, there just will not be much to talk about. By this I mean that almost everyday will be between 60 and 75 for about two months with a chance for showers and thunderstorms nearly everyday...there will be no more HYPE and talk about snowstorms, and besides heavy rain potential, weather around our area will probably quiet down until sometime in early May. Now maybe I'm wrong and we'll get wild and wacky rains/severe thunderstorms in April, but our target time range for storms in my opinion is between June and September for our region. So having given ya'll the "heads-up" about my less frequent posts, I guess I might as well move on to what is coming up for our area. First, after a beautiful spring-like day today with highs statewide reaching the 50s and 60s to near 70 in York, clouds will increase overnight and will yield to a rainy, dreary day by tomorrow afternoon. If you are north of I-80 in northern Pennsylvania, I do think snow will mix in with the rain tomorrow night, but nothing more than an inch or two should accumulate in any given location. Farther south along the Mason/Dixon line, high temperatures tomorrow could reach the 60 degree mark once again as a warm front basically sets up right on the PA, MD border. If this front were to move slightly farther north, 60s could be felt all the way to the PA Turnpike, but I do not think this will happen. Look for highs in the 40s in the north tomorrow and near 60 in the far south-central and southeast along with decent rainfall across the central part of the state and showers in the south/snow showers in the north. After that, another disturbance should pass through the state on Friday bringing cooler weather than the storm tomorrow...but little if any snowfall should occur from that storm along the models were looking interesting earlier today. After that moves through, a blocking high pressure should set up for about 2-4 days before totally spring-like/summer-like air moves in for good by April 4th. Today began the true battle of spring-like air trying to move in for good, and sometime next week the battle should be one as highs reach the 50s and 60s statewide everyday. Oh, and before I quit for tonight, I will mention that the long-range models continue to show the warmth continuing right on through April 10th-15th. So winter is over basically and spring has returned to the region for yet another year. Well that's about all I have for ya'll tonight, so hope ya'll have a great rest of your evening and I'll talk to ya'll tomorrow!
