It seems like these two towns are far apart, at least in my brain, and I suppose they are. It’s a 603 mile drive, lasting for one long day. We’ll set a pace of 64.2mph, thanked, in no doubt, by the fast drivers of Michigan.
Lebanon, Pennsylvania
Low pressure is still spinning over the St. Lawrence Seaway, and it doesn’t look like it will be motivated to move before we are ready to travel tomorrow. Fortunately, isn’t going to be rich with moisture, and we will be in the car, able to avoid the cooler air the low pressure brings in. Some of the flow coming off the lakes could lead to some clouds and fog on the western faces of the Appalachians of central and western Pennsylvania. Mostly cloudy skies will continue through Ohio and Michigan, but they won’t scrape the surface like they could in Pennsylvania. Kalamazoo will be cloudy and seasonably cool tomorrow evening, but a turn around is around the corner.
Well, this has certainly been an interesting week. The weather continues apace, regardless of the virus that is gripping society. Let’s check out southeastern PA.
At 856PM, ET, Lebanon was reporting a temperature of 47 degrees with overcast skies. There was overcast across the region with light return showing up on radar across central Pennsylvania, though there weren’t any precipitation reports from reporting stations east of Pittsburgh. The band of precipitation is the tail front attached to low pressure moving through Hudson Bay. A shallow jet trough covers northeastern Canada, and is sort of the second step of a two step jet stream. Ultimately, there is a ridge over the eastern part of the country, which is helping to mitigate the threat of precipitation, but will also allow some clearing tomorrow afternoon. The lower step of the jet is going to continue to translate eastward and with it, the next round of wet weather. A warm front, laden with fairly heavy rain and potentially an isolated thunderstorm will arrive late in the evening on Wednesday. Tomorrow – A little bit of early rain, High 55, Low 43 Wednesday – Mostly sunny with increasing clouds and a late shower or thunderstorm, High 55, Low 35
TWC: Tomorrow – Rain showers early with overcast skies later in the day. High 57, Low 38 Wednesday – Partly cloudy skies in the morning will give way to cloudy skies during the afternoon (late rain). High 57, Low 32
AW: Tomorrow – A passing shower or two in the morning; otherwise, clouds giving way to some sun High 57, Low 31 Wednesday – Increasing clouds (late rain) High 57, Low 31
NWS: Tomorrow – A chance of light rain, mainly before 10am. Cloudy High 57, Low 3- Wednesday – Sunny (late rain), High 56, Low 33
WB: Tomorrow – Cloudy, a chance of light rain in the morning, High 57, Low 40 Wednesday – Sunny (Late rain), High 56, Low 35

FIO: Tomorrow – Possible drizzle in the morning. High 57, Low 38 Wednesday – Partly cloudy throughout the day. High 58, Low 31
It looks like we are visiting Lebanon right between two bouts of rain. What timing! Maybe things are looking up.
