Monsoon's Update: cooler weather, mixed precipitation this week?
The temperature got up to 80 in lots of places Friday, but this is still March. Tomorrow may be the first day of spring, but this week (particularly the 2nd half of it) is going to be more evocative of winter...
We'll see a mostly sunny (but less windy) Sunday with a high of 52 and a low of 33.
Rain will begin overnight Sunday into Monday, and it's possible some sleet will mix in during the wee hours (3am-ish), particularly in northern Berks and the Lehigh Valley. No travel issues, no delays, no problem here. Expect rain, mainly in the morning, tapering to scattered showers for the afternoon. High 52, low 41.
Tuesday will feature variable cloudiness and breezy conditions with high of 54 and a low of 30.
More precipitation arrives late Tuesday night (after midnight) into Wednesday morning. The surface temperature may be low enough that snow will mix in early. This wet snow will change quickly to all rain and, once again, will not affect travel or school schedules. High 44, low 35.
Overcast Thursday with perhaps a few showers leftover (and mixed precipitation may be present on Thursday morning; I'll keep my eye on this developing situation). High 46, low 29.
Friday looks partly cloudy, cool and windy. High 42, low 26.
Next weekend looks like another gorgeous one at this point: highs near 50 and plenty of sunshine.
The last few days of March will be milder with highs in the upper 50s and low 60s but (in a preview of the proverbial April showers) rather rainy.
Stay tuned for updates on the potential winter weather this week, but as of now I see no cause for alarm...
