The beginning of the week has already started on a wet note as a cold front makes its way through the area, bringing some much needed rain with it.
Cooler temperatures have invaded campus, leaving us with much more comfortable weather this past week. That theme will continue into the weekend as high pressure sets up over us for Saturday.
A cold front moved through the region Saturday, wiping away a majority of the humidity that we've been dealing with the last several days. So, things should feel much more comfortable as you step outside this week.
Sophomore and resident meteorologist Elyas Tecle gives his predictions for the weekend's weather.
One of the biggest weekends at Penn is in just a matter of days. But, it could either be made or broken by what happens a few thousand feet above our heads.
Before students left for spring break, there was a feeling of warmth in the air. In fact, it hit 80 degrees in Philadelphia over break, smashing record high temperatures.
This past week has featured almost anything but winter weather. With high temperatures reaching the 50s and 60s, campus was buzzing with students finally having lunch outside. Squirrels were running rampant as the warmer weather signaled an entrance to spring ... or so we thought.
Saturday night, Philadelphia officially dropped down to 8 degrees, just 6 degrees shy of the record: 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
It looks as though more snow is in the forecast for tonight through early Wednesday morning. Although this upcoming system will not be anything like the blizzard of 2016 a few weeks ago, it may still have an effect on travel. The type of system that we're dealing with is called an inverted trough. An inverted trough is essentially a weak disturbance in the atmosphere that can focus locally heavier bands of precipitation due to wind speed and direction.
Winter is certainly in full swing on the calendar, but it doesn’t exactly feel that way when you take a walk down Locust. Since the start of the month, every day has been well above average with highs reaching 59, 53 and 62. If you’re wondering why it’s been so warm this last week or so after Winter Storm Jonas, blame this thing called the Southeast Ridge.
The last 12-16 hours have been absolutely incredible from a meteorological perspective. Everything from the extremely heavy snow and blinding winds, this storm will certainly go down in the history books. However, we still have several more hours of snow and wind to deal with. If you look outside now, you may not see a whole lot of snow falling, but that will not last for very long. In fact, snow is filling back into the Philadelphia area on radar.
If you want to go to a BYO downtown this weekend, you might want to consider staying closer to campus. Philadelphia is expected to receive 12 to 18 inches of snow starting late Friday night.
When I wake up and go to class each morning, I’ve noticed two big things missing from around campus. One, heavy coats, and two, snow.
Winter is a forecaster’s dream whether you dread or embrace the snow. The long, complex analysis required to understand the dynamics of winter climate is part of the fulfillment that comes with being a meteorologist.That is why I have put hours of research into this outlook in order for it to be the most professional and in-depth analysis I have ever written!
Meteorology is a science comprised of facts related to the processes and phenomena of the atmosphere. But there are times when facts can be put aside and meteorologists turn to legend to make their predictions.
Oct. 28, 2012 was a gloomy Sunday on campus. Emergency relief teams drove by on ambulances, students piled into Fresh Grocer to stock up on food and the administration had already notified everyone that two days of classes were called off.
Nowadays, when you walk outside for your 8:30 a.m. recitation, you’ll notice a definite chill in the air. And on some days, your breath may even be visible in the crisp morning sun.
Whether it’s a hurricane, tropical storm or nor’easter, a significant storm will affect much of the East Coast in the next couple of days.
