The forecast for snow and rain yesterday was a total bust. We saw snow, but we had to go to the Upper Delaware Valley to see it. The next chance, and it is a slim chance, for snow is tomorrow afternoon. Today will remain sunny, but another arctic front should cross the region around noon Thursday. The front will be enough of a disturbance that a few light snow showers might occur. As arctic fronts go this one is pretty mild. We can expect highs in the mid-30s, just slightly below normal, both before and after the front passes. Friday should be another brilliantly clear day.
A little warming is in store for the weekend as a warmer air mass approaches on Saturday. By little warming we mean highs around 40 degrees. A few snow or rain showers may happen on Saturday, but we're not holding our breath for any significant precipitation. The extended range forecast is for uneventful weather and seasonable temperatures.
Upset that it is going to take years for your retirement savings and home to recover their value from the recent global financial meltdown? Why not enjoy a little weather forecasting schadenfreude! For better or worse, AccuWeather.com has been putting numerous outtakes of their online weather video flubs on YouTube. There's too many to link to individually, just search for "weather bloopers". While we wish they hadn't bleeped out the naughty words, we still enjoy watching people in stressful jobs make mistakes. Oh, it's not nearly as funny as watching home videos of dads getting hit in the balls by an errant baseball bat, but it is still meteorological comedy gold!
