Updated through 2025 - who knows why PHL is warming so much faster than non-UHI spots at airports?? In fact the PHL warming slope is now growing at 6 times the rate of Chester County Pa!

Chilling our past will always helps support climate alarmism....

More importantly just 6 days till Phillies opening day! Go Phillies!!

Today back in 1958 the area was in the middle of the 2nd greatest snowstorm in Pennsylvania history. Below are the all-time 3 day snowstorms across our state. The top 2 storms both were in our local area with the Blizzard of February 1899 at Coatesville with 52.4" and the 50.0" just off the PA Turnpike at Morgantown leading the way. Of note that same storm in 1958 also featured the 49" that was recorded just off the PA Turnpike at Devault. I have also included the hand written NWS COOP March 1958 observations for both Morgantown and Devault.

Happy Spring Equinox at 10:46am to those that celebrate! Some folks think this means we have equal amounts of day and night lengths. While those are not far too far apart today (Sunrise 707am /Sunset 7:15pm) it in fact is when the Sun crosses the celestial equator. Five of our last 6 days have featured below normal temperatures but we will see temperatures well above normal today with highs near 60 degrees. We stay mild through the weekend with rain chances ramping up tonight and again on Sunday night. We turn sharply chillier again toward the middle of next week.

Some typical March weather ahead as we see consistent swings from cold to warmer to cold again for much of the rest of the month. We remain below normal today before warming up to above normal tomorrow through the weekend. WE then turn back to below normal to start the new work week. Our next rain chances arrive tomorrow night into Saturday morning and again Sunday night into Monday morning.

Breezy and unseasonably cold weather today with some snow flurries possible this afternoon into the evening. There will be a hard freeze tonight so protect any plants that you may have put outside already. We will continue with below normal temperatures through Thursday (upper 30's to upper 40's) before we moderate to nearly normal both Friday and Saturday (low to mid 50's). Our next chance of rain or snow looks to possibly arrive on Friday night. We will fall back to below normal temperatures by next Monday.
