ChescoWx Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 IF (and a big if) the latest 18z NAM is to be believed Monday's currently forecast of a sub-freezing high temperature here in Chester County would mark the latest day in recorded weather history that the thermometer failed to reach 32 degrees in a calendar year! The latest sub-freezing day in Chester County was the 32 degrees back on March 26, 2014. I am not sure of what the record latest sub freezing low max is at PHL or other locations but....something unusual especially in our current warming cycle at least out here in Chester County! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 That was pretty serious cold here and I bottomed out at 22 at 6:45 am this morning. The winds never went calm overnight so that was pure cold air and not even radiational cooling. The dp dropped down to as low as 2. I know the blooms on star magnolia not far from me are or will probably be mush (although it had been blooming for about a week already). It's currently partly cloudy with lots of cumulus and the temp has recovered to 29 with dp now up to 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
