Initial Warm Period To Give Way To Cold And Stormy Pattern

6:53 AM
Instead of the several days of warm conditions, the developing negative NAO and pattern amplification will give the forecast area two warm days and some perfect timing for the weekend!  Well, almost perfect as I expect rain, but at least there won’t be any serious travel problems.

I’ve been tracking the radar echoes and the low level moisture convergence data via RUC data.  The latest data suggest that the heaviest rainfall will fall over locations like Hazleton, Bethel, Lancaster, and Harrisburg.  
This does not mean that heavy rain will not fall over the rest of the forecast area, only that the heavy [...]
