Back in Black

I have returned from yet another midwest wedding to remind everyone that I was off by a total of 2 degrees the entire weekend.   And it looks like my prediction of afternoon/evening showers on Saturday came true as well.  Man, it gets kinda boring being right all the time.  I just wish mother nature could stump me once or twice to add some excitement to my life.  Although I shouldn't speak too soon because she may be throwing me a monkey wrench with today's forecast.

Main issue today looks to be the timing of our precip.  NWS and that chick from CNN are saying sometime after 1pm.  I think it may be a bit later, myself.  A moderate/strong cold front is approaching from the NW from southern Ontario.  Showers and thunderstorms are already developing along the southern edge of the front in NE WV.  In our area, we have some foggy-haziness that should burn off somewhat in the next few hrs.  Interior NJ and PA already have clearing which should supply the front with some heating to fire our afternoon storms.  I think they'll probably start up in the city around 3-4pm.  There will probably be two rounds of storms, looking at current radar and satellite pics.  The 2nd round will probably go off later in the evening, I'm thinking 7 or later.  There is a likely chance we could see another squall line storm develop, with lightning and damaging winds like last Wed.  Hopefully this time I'll get to see it.

Today:  Morning haze with a bit of midday sun, then showers and t-storms this afternoon and evening.  Good possibility for severe storms.  High 79.  Winds S @ 8-12mph.
Tonight:  Evening showers and t-storms ending after midnight.  Evening lows in the upper 70s down to 66 by morning.  Winds W @ 5-8mph.
Tomorrow:  Clouds and sun.  Maybe, maybe an afternoon storm.  High 79.  Strong NW winds @ 13-17mph.
Wednesday:  Mixture of clouds and sun, but cooler.  High 74.
