Today marks the start of the earliest heat wave (at least 3 consecutive 90+ days) in Chester County PA history. As on this date way back in 1896 the National Weather Service coop observers across Coatesville, West Chester and Phoenixville recorded high temperatures exceeding the 90 degree mark starting on the 16th at Coatesville and the 17th at both West Chester and Phoenixville. The heat wave lasted till the 19th across all locations. The next earliest heat wave would not occur across Chester County until April 17, 1976.

So far my high for the day has been 74, which is the current temp (with dp 44), but a deck of clouds with lots of breaks, has been advecting in much of the day.

The record high for today is 95 set back in 1896 - the record low is 20 degrees from this date in 1928. We do have a Freeze warning up for Western Chester County and a Freeze watch for Eastern Chesco.

Of interest tomorrow the 18th is the average date of our last freeze here in Chesco...we shall see.
