May 3rd and 4th, 2008 Forecast
Showers/Storms Saturday Night & Sunday
Now: There is a 30 degree range between Millville (80) and Mount Pocono (49) at 4 PM. The warm front that wreaked havoc with forecasts over the last few days is sitting between Allentown and the Turnpike at this hour and should generally remain over the Philadelphia region for the next 36 hours before a cold front moves through Sunday, clearing the warm front out of here and setting the stage for two beautiful days to start next week.
Tonight: High pressure over New England will help to push the warm front south tonight, through Philadelphia, bringing low clouds and some fog to the region later tonight. Temperatures to the south of Philadelphia will be warmer than north but the whole region should generally be in the 50's. With rain over Northwestern PA this afternoon a chance of showers is left in the forecast for tonight for areas north of Philadelphia, primarily the Lehigh Valley on north.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy skies and the warm front will hang in the vicinity, meaning that we'll see another temperature swing from north to south, with the warmest readings across South Jersey and Delaware where we could once again approach 80. We will see more clouds in the morning thanks to the marine layer but sunshine should break out late in the morning or in the afternoon. Philadelphia should approach 70 but if we get more sunshine we could be a bit warmer.
Saturday night: A cold front will approach the region and a chance of showers and storms will increase throughout the night west of the city, with showers and storms in Philadelphia possible after midnight. Low temperatures should be in the mid 50's.
Sunday: Showers and storms will end from west to east during the day, with storms ending in the region during the afternoon. Temperatures will be in the 60's thanks to additional cloud cover.
Snowstorm In May: South Dakota is digging out from a major snowstorm that brought up to thirty inches of snow to Deadwood and Lead, with a foot of snow falling in Rapid City. Winds in Rapid City have been gusting to over 60 mph with the heavy snowfall. The same storm system brought deadly tornadoes to Arkansas last night and today, with at least seven deaths due to the severe weather.
Mark Your Calendars: Bill Read, the new director of the National Hurricane Center, will be speaking at the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Meteorological Society next Friday, May 9th, at 7 PM. The Philadelphia AMS will be meeting at the University of Delaware in Newark. The event is free and open to the public.
