Rough weather ahead for Montco.
It might be a good Friday night to stay in. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), at approximately 3:38 p.m. Friday, there is a Freezing Rain Advisory in affect for Montgomery County and surrounding areas. From 10 p.m. Friday evening to 8 a.m. Saturday morning, area residents are warned for icy and freezing conditions. A previously issued "Winter Weather Advisory" was cancelled. The advisory warns of trace ice accumulations as a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain or rain may become all freezing rain overnight. "Icing wil create hazardous conditions on roadways and sidewalks overnight into Saturday morning," said the advisory. Temperatures are slated to stay in the low 30s through the evening. The NWS warns that the weather …

Today will be a random spike of warm weather before it all slopes back down to near-average temperatures for the rest of the week
Mother Nature needs to get her act together because the weather seems to be giving us all types of seasons. Last week was just a tease of summer. Yet, like winter, Ms. Nature will again make us flip into a double loop of unexpected weather. The past couple days made us realize that summer is still a couple months away and March is not over yet. The difference about today is that the high-pressure system that floated above us Monday and Tuesday will scurry to the south as a low-pressure system passes to our north. To better understand what I am talking about: When a low-pressure system, most commonly known as a mid-latitude cyclone, approaches an area, a front of cold air is on its way. Right before a cold front reaches the region, a warm …

The sun will try its best to poke through the clouds today, but more rain is expected to put a damper on any plans for the weekend
March did not really come marching in, but it it's definitely leaving some muddy bootprints. Even though it's the second day of the month, the sun seems shy as it hides behind the clouds. My spring break from college starts today, and this is not what I want to see; my hopes are high for a potentially beautiful pattern next week. Today will start out in the upper 30s with mostly cloudy skies. The sun will try its best to come out in the afternoon, which can bring the high temperatures to the low 50s. If the sun is too shy to come out, the temperatures may not reach the 50 degree mark. By the afternoon commute, clouds will quickly take over and thicken as a storm system approaches from the southwest. Before I carry on, if you plan on …

Rain is likely for Thursday and Friday
A week ago we were surmising about the possibility of a mild weekend that would blossom into a warm start to this week. How things have changed. Saturday's two- to -four-inch snow event was a painful reminder to me that winter's laugh can be hearty and it definitely can be made last. Another storm system moves on in for the latter half of the week — the question comes down to track and timing but the consensus track for this low pressure system is to our west, which means we are on the milder side of the storm. One set of computer modeling suggests a weaker outcome and possibly two separate events while another computer model (the better one in the longer range) suggests a storm system for Thursday afternoon through Friday morning. As of…

I hope everyone remains safe. Someone I know told me about the advisory. She lives in Allentown. more ›
