Dribs & Drabs To Start
This morning is damp, dreary, and full of dribs and drabs of drizzle and drops of rain. Enough d's in that sentence? Yeah, it's a D- type of weather day unless you are a duck or any other associated type of waterfowl as clouds, drizzle, and showers strut around the region as wave #1 of low pressure pulls off the coast this morning. You can see the radar up above showing the widespread drizzle and drips through the region -- some of the precipitation that fell last night mixed with snow in the higher elevations to the west of the city and in fact, it was snowing lightly last night on top of the higher skyscrapers in the city (on top of the Comcast Center and the Liberty skyscrapers, all of which 900' or more in the sky).
We could see a bit of a break (er, lull) in precipitation between waves around midday but it's not a certainty as we could see this drizzly drear linger through the entire day.
Wave #2 is organizing across the Southeast and will steadily march northeast today, eventually causing more rain to break out to our south later on this afternoon. Wave #2 should spread into the Philadelphia region after 4 PM, with rain moving in and through the region this evening. Said rain will change to snow in the higher elevations to our north, with the Poconos poised to pick up several inches of snow tonight and early tomorrow. Winter Storm Warnings are out for the Lehigh Valley, the Poconos, and Northwest New Jersey for tonight and tomorrow morning as those areas stand the best chance of getting hit with significant snow. Philly may see a mix of rain and snow at the end but odds for accumulating snow in the city are pretty low.
We'll have a snowfall forecast out late this afternoon for the storm.
