RedSky Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 How about guidance coming full circle from forecasting a total toilet of a weekend five days ago, to looking not nearly as bad, now back to completely disgusting. NAM has temps once dropping into the 40's Friday they stay there all weekend into Monday, GFS almost. But not to be outdone the ECM spins the low off the east coast and keeps us under clouds and shower influence for 10 days lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like winters of yore, when the GFS would advertise a snowstorm a week+ out, take it away in the 3-7 day range, then bring it back in the final 48 hours.

Birds~69 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Probably best to tackle the lawn today w/the 50s and rain approaching for the next several days. It's growing like gangbusters and if I wait for the next "non rain opportunity" after today it will be up to my knees. Sun doing its darndest to break through completely but not there yet... 61F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 The record high for today is the 90 degree reading on this date in 1919. Our record Chester County low was the 28 degrees back in 1926.
