KamuSnow Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Just noticed Ft. Dix radar is working again. Only info I could find says repairs were complete April 29th. I hadn't checked because I'd been using Dover. Someone should let the guy in South Jersey know (the one who doesn't like snow and complains vigorously when Mt. Holly's radar is down). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I had been saving some of my radar shots the afternoon of of 4/29 and using DOX and noticed that DIX was back. (1st screenshot is DOX & 2nd is DIX around the same time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the temp is actually dropping here as the day goes on. As if 20F below normal wasn't enough. Currently at 48.4F and falling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I was at 51F earlier...then 50F and now just looked and it's 48F. The clouds have definitely lowered w/some wind and mist/light rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 So..... Edit: I'm posting the snow map because why not, its freakin May and even a trace of snow is rare/historic this time of year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Looking beyond any possible frozen precipitation for some areas Friday/Saturday both Mt.Holly and Upton are also mentioning wind advisories may be needed for Saturday with a tightening pressure gradient.

Newman Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 One thing the models do agree on is the cold air available with this system. 850mb temps are around -10C and as the low pulls offshore and away from the region, wrap around precipitation will be likely to occur. With such cold temperatures it is more likely that a change over to snow or a mix of rain/snow showers will occur. Light accumulations may occur in the higher elevations of the southern Poconos and northwestern New Jersey, possibly even down into portions of the Lehigh Valley.

ChescoWx Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 So how unusual is this cold May in Western Chester County PA? very! On top of the potential of snow in the air on Friday and Saturday in May - an extremely rare event in the climate change era....or heck any era climate change or not! We are well on the way to the latest 80+ degree reading in at least the last 38 years here in Chester County. Already through today this is the 5th latest 80+ degree reading so late into May. In looking at the longer range models it looks increasingly possible that we will set a record for the latest 80+ day in County history. Below are the latest such readings #1 - 5/22/1988 / #2 - 5/20/1984 / #3 - 5/19/1997 - 5/19/1992 - 5/19/2019 / #4 - 5/10/1987 - #5 - TBD here in 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Ended up with 0.08" rain yesterday and a high of 54. Winds dropped off overnight and took the temps with them where I bottomed out this morning @43. The clouds of this morning broke up pretty quickly and it's now mostly sunny and temp is on its way up and at 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I'd like to see it if there is snow in the air here tomorrow night, would be a first in May around here for me. According to the NAM I'd have to be up around 2 or 3 am. I'm gonna set my alarm tomorrow evening if it looks likely. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being up at that time is not difficult these days due to my screwed up schedule. Two things are a must: -Phone is fully charged/pictures/video -Beer/booze Summer records are cool but winter/snow records in May are mega-ultra-super cool and way more noteworthy in my book. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not accumulating snow, but just anything at all. Not in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
