ChescoWx Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Up to 68.4 here in NW Chesco - the record high temps for both today (71) and tomorrow (70) were set way back in 1930...gonna be close. While down in Sea Isle City the sea breeze has been working overtime with a SW wind made it to 63 at 11am but down to 50 at 1145 then back up to 65.7 with a SW wind at 2pm and now starting back down with the wind back out of the SE at 60 degrees.

We have Spring, Summer and Fall to hit the 70s....just not now. Christ sake, it's Winter. Be Winter... Maybe get one of these and use it over the next week or so: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkd Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 68.3F It feels really warm out. If this were the summer it would feel cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 74F here currently - have to admit it feels nice outside, especially with the sun! I'm okay with the early warmth, but not too much for too long please (buds and all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Made it to 69 here and the low overnight was 49 and that might be exceeded tomorrow. Mt. Holly posted up the records that were broken and projections for the rest of the month CWA-wide - && .CLIMATE... The following high temperature records were set today: Atlantic City...73 Philadelphia...71 Wilmington...74 Georgetown...72 Mount Pocono...64 Please check the following list for the old records. Additional high temperature records are likely this afternoon and Wednesday. Tuesday, February 20: Atlantic City...70 in 1930 Philadelphia....70 in 1939 Wilmington......71 in 1930 Allentown.......68 in 1930 Trenton.........70 in 1930 Georgetown......68 in 2002 Mount Pocono....59 in 1930 Reading.........72 in 1930 Wednesday, February 21: Atlantic City...74 in 1930 Philadelphia....72 in 1930 Wilmington......70 in 1953 Allentown.......67 in 1953 Trenton.........70 in 1930 Georgetown......71 in 2014 Mount Pocono....60 in 1930 Reading.........71 in 1930 A record warm minimum temperature may be set for Atlantic City on Tuesday. The current record is 44 in 1949. The following are the record warm minimum temperatures for Wednesday, all which should be exceeded. ABE 46-1981 ACY 49-1954 PHL 49-2002 ILG 47-2002 RDG 48-1930 TTN 48-2002 The all time February max temps may be approached on Wednesday at ILG, TTN, GED RDG MPO. All the all time monthly max`s are listed below: ACY 77 2/25/30 PHL 79 2/25/30 ILG 78 2/24/85 ABE 77 2/24/17 TTN 76 2/25/30 GED 77 2/25/17 RDG 77 2/24/17 MPO 70 2/25/30 Our expectation is that ACY will exceed the previous all time record rainfall for February, by the end of the weekend. The record is 6.50 inches in 2010. #2 is 1958 with 5.98 inches. And...adding only half an inch to PHL and ILG will put both locations in the top 9 ranking for Feb rainfall. Have rechecked the monthly projection at PHL and the avg temp continues at 41.0 or 5.3F above avg which is 8th warmest on record, if it holds. Add or subtract a degree to the average/departure and the ranking changes from 3rd to 11th. The forecast 5.3F departure is ~2f warmer than the current departure. I`d expect similar for the rest of our area...a bit less in the north which will have better chances for colder air, and a bit more warming in the south where the positive departure as of yesterday was already 5F above normal, heading for 7+. So all in all it appears we`re heading for a top 10 warmest February. Last year was the warmest on record, a whopping 3+F degrees warmer than our current projection. && Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when that happens. Yeah, we have a White Magnolia here that had just gotten to full bloom, I believe it was around the 15th of April. Last year wasn't a late freeze but a super warm February, which caused the same tree's buds to begin to open way early, followed by the mid-March cold with lows down to 14F here around the time of the snow-sleet brick. Most of the flowers that did eventually bloom had black tips from the freeze/burn. I'm hopeful that this year won't be a repeat, since this February likely won't be as warm as last year (number of above normal days). Meanwhile, 58F here at 9:45 pm!

Ralph Wiggum Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Overnight ens have not made any ultra significant changes worth noting in the LR. The signal for a Southern wave around Feb 28 did lessen slightly with a more strung/sheared out look. Big ticket -NAO still poised to begin settling in D+5 as it retrogrades WSW across Greenland. There are notable differences still between the GEFS and EPS irt how each handles the 50/50 low feature. The EPS is more of a stable and classic look and now has a decent signal for 3 runs or so for a system March 3 area. GEFS otoh tries to retrograde the 50/50 NNE to SSW with a locked in surface high over the center of the nation and midwest and wants no parts of any true coastal storm development outside of the unorthodox convoluted movement of the 50/50 which seems overdone imo. GEFS would signal something later on as the extreme block weakens/relaxes around Mar 8-10ish. Of course the ops are spitting out all sorts of different scenarios attm and should be taken with a grain of salt until the pattern evolution resolves itself. Many more ways we fail in this setup than score a big snow but who knows, it is early to say. Interesting to note, there are several analogs for the upcoming h5 pattern which simply did not produce at all or very little in the way of snow and only a handful that actually had major snow events for the same look in early March going back 65 years. Expectations should remain tempered for big snows for now. Noreaster pattern? Most likely yes during the March 3-10 range at least. SECS+ pattern? Potential is there but clearly tbd. I do like what the EPS are tossing out and hope the GEFS is overdone with some of its features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is the GEFS has been getting caved in by the EPS this month so very good chance the features on the GEFS are overdone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 We set a record high min for the entire month (1894 to Present) of February this AM with the temp only getting down to 58.4 if this holds thru midnight (WXSIM says it won't) it would break the old mark of 53 set way back in 1939. Wxsim has us slipping to around 51 before midnight tonight. Yesterday we just missed a record high as we only hit 70.4 (Chester County record 71 set back in 1930). Today we have a great shot at eclipsing the old mark which is only 70 degrees also from 1930. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 64F and cloudy so far. expecting today to be similar to yesterday but we are starting warmer...74-75F seems like a good bet once the clouds burn off imo...looking at goes the clouds are looking like they will burn off much quicker than yesterday too.

The Iceman Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 We have officially hit 70F at 11:03 am. All time february record high for my house since I've been keeping records(2002) is 75F set last year. I think we break that today fairly easily. PHL is up to 72F already. I really think they hit 80 for the first time ever in Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be like that through May...which sometimes is good then because they can be n the mid upper 60's when everyone else is in the upper 80's.

We had two weeks of the coldest weather I can remember in years and just not a snowy winter, time to move on. I'm ready for green grass, beautiful trees and flowers, and sunny days It's only February though LOL, we're not even close.

All time for feb is 76 at KTTN. Going to be close. Still at least 2 more hours of heating imo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
