Birds~69 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 79 at PHL... 80 between the hours maybe??? 15-20 miles NW of Philly and the temps dropped from 78.5 to 70.2 in the past hour or so. Clouds move in winds picked up as well...not sure Philly will make it to 80. It will be close.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksCO_PA Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Great thing about this past winter is it has decimated the stink bug population, year round infestation the past 2 years to the point where I've literally only seen a few bugs this spring.

MattMal88 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Its funny you say that bucksco I was thinking the same thing. Ive found one or two a week for the past few years but its been a few months since ive seen one. Good riddance those things are a pain and you cant just kill them because the smell really is terrible. I flush em down the toilet alive to avoid that now lol.

RedSky Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Run into one or two of those stinky bastards a week all cold season. They must suck on house plants to survive. Just last night i was running water in the kitchen sink and got that distinct aroma and looked down and there was one in the drain putting out the stink. Hope the freeze next week kills many that have come out of hibernation but they are here to stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman56 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 . i noticed that 26 for a low tomorrow night in my P&C. Seems about 7-8 degrees too low to me. That would probably do some bud damage if it verified. I think Wednesday night will be colder than tomorrow night with a 29-30 low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would probably do some bud damage if it verified. I think Wednesday night will be colder than tomorrow night with a 29-30 low. Tomorrow night will be advective cold, so raw model guidance is more likely to verify. Raw EC is warmest with 31 around 12Z Wednesday. Raw GFS has 27 same time and raw NAM has 24.

famartin Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Post-frontal cold push is very impressive Wednesday morning. Raw GFS and NAM drive PHL down to 26. MOS isn't quite as cold but both still drive PHL down to 32 or below. Either way, it would be the latest freeze at PHL since 1988. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive indeed, the PHL records for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are all 27 and after next Monday records are all above 30, except for 29 on 4/29 and the stunning 28 on 5/11. To see that kind of cold through advection this time of year is pretty unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 NBC 10 1-2" snow tomorrow night?? i will be skeptical with this we don't get changeovers behind fronts in winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 NBC 10 1-2" snow tomorrow night?? i will be skeptical with this we don't get changeovers behind fronts in winter The meso models are trying to hit the cold and snow aspect a lot more than the globals. I'll believe it a little more tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmosk Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Why no freeze watch for upper bucks? From the AFD: "Locations north of the watch are likely to see a freeze as well, however, it is still earlier than the median last freeze date, so will not issue a watch for these locations.

KamuSnow Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Tomorrow night will be advective cold, so raw model guidance is more likely to verify. Raw EC is warmest with 31 around 12Z Wednesday. Raw GFS has 27 same time and raw NAM has 24. Anytime from mid - November through March I'd be hoping for that to verify, but not now. I see the freeze watch doesn't say anything about bringing sensitive plants indoors...haha...there are a lot of flowering trees here now, and given the warm dry weather of the last few days I can imagine a bunch more bursting forth with the rain tomorrow. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. If it's going to be that cold, it would be nice to at least get some snow out of it. Plus snow is a good insulator .

For ground level flowers, snow may insulate, but that probably won't help trees, which will likely not be encased more than half (if that much). Of course, tree flowers tend to be more tender than ground level flowers anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
