Central PA Spring 2026 Discussion/Obs Thread
ChescoWx replied to Voyager's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Happy Easter to all who celebrate! Many lower elevation spots reached the lower 80's yesterday. While higher spots remained below 80 degrees, we did set a record high for my East Nantmeal station yesterday breaking the old record from 2011 by almost 5 degrees. However, the Chester County record from 1963 of 84 degrees at West Grove was not reached by any of the record stations across the County. With our backdoor cold front temperatures have fallen below forecasted levels to well down into the 40's across the area. We may struggle to get much above 60 degrees today. We turn much chillier tonight with well below normal temperatures through Wednesday. There is the potential of a hard freeze by Wednesday morning. Shower chances are around today but dry for much of the upcoming work week. -

March 2026 finished as our 18th warmest March since 1894 here in Chester County PA. The top 5 warmest March months are below. I also have attached the average temperature trends for March since 1894. Blue is raw and Red in NOAA altered adjusted temperatures. -

We will finish March with our 1st above normal temperature month since way back in September. Every fall and winter month except September ended with below normal temperatures. Our seesaw temperatures typical of spring will continue over the next several days. We have a well above normal day today before we turn much chiller tomorrow. We warm again by Friday through the weekend before turning much cooler again to start the new work week. Rain chances to really ramp up tomorrow into Wednesday night. -

To those that celebrate....welcome to Phillies Opening Day!! Go Phillies! It will be a beautiful spring day today with highs reaching the 70's. Shower chances increase tonight into tomorrow morning. Much colder tomorrow with temperatures falling during the day and falling below freezing tomorrow night. Saturday will be the coldest day of the weekend with highs barely escaping the 30's. We moderate back to near normal temperatures by Sunday. Go Phillies!! -

Hi Jns, Attached is a link to my website with the site descriptions. They are a combination of NWS COOP / CRN / AWOS / DEOS stations. No Cocorahs are included - but I may in the future. Let me know if any other questions. Thanks! Paul https://chescowx.com/detailed-station-data/ -
Many climate alarmist like to point to the Time of Observation Bias (TOB) as solid "scientific adjustments" required to correct that bias. NOAA/NCEI in fact chose to chill every year at Coatesville from 1895 thru 1982. However, if anything when we look at the facts of when these observations were taken (see the below of COOP observation time/years) we see that with the exception of 11 years.... temperatures were in reality recorded in the morning. So if their rationale is correct the bias for Coatesville should in fact be too cool with all of those AM minimum temperature reports. Yet they chose to not warm those years - they actually made additional chilling adjustments.
