Holly Climatology section went from possible "record highs" for today - to possible "record lows" for tomorrow! Looking forward to it. Worked outside all week. Wednesday and today were rough, Thursday was nice (after the storms at least). Was kinda surprised to get a static shock while exiting my vehicle after coming home this evening on account of how dry it had become. Hot and dry is a little bit unusual here, but I'll take it (for a little while at least). Tomorrow should be lovely for getting some yard work done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that. I have to string trim tomorrow to clean up last night's mow. Sounds lovely, might even need a sweatshirt!

Hurricane Agnes Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 19 hours ago, JTA66 said: Agnes was just before my 6th birthday, so I have very limited memory of her. My mom is from Manayunk and I remember waking down to the Green Lane bridge to see the Schuylkill. 86F/DP 73F As a follow-up - this is what got to me the most back then... This was what was named the "Doodad Bridge", a rope/plank bridge that crossed a part of Swamp Creek back then - I In 1971 when I was first there, there was a wooden platform at the top of wood pylons, with a wooden ladder that would be climbed to access that bridge. Returning in 1972 after Hurricane Agnes, the entire assembly (pylons and platform) had been dislodged and overturned, leaving the bridge partially submerged in the creek, so it was completely unusable. When I returned 4 years later, the bridge had been repaired and the wood pylons and platform replaced with a "scout-enhanced" platform base of concrete (I think with a new wood platform for access via a ladder), where apparently after the main concrete footings and base structures were created, the attendees during the time of the completion, were each able to "add" to the base with a trowelful of concrete slapped onto the bottom where they then could add their initials (or whatever could fit) into the wet concrete "additions". Many years later out of curiosity searching for what it looked like today, I saw where apparently that whole structure was removed and replaced with what they call a "pedestrian bridge" (a "weathered" pre-fab steel structure) in 2008 - https://divingconstruction.com/girl-scout-bridge/ I did just spot a pic someone uploaded that appears to show it in the '80s before that above replacement was done (in the background at the top of the picture) - It was pretty obvious why they call it "Swamp Creek". And as an obs - It was 71 here this morning when I got up and eventually drifted down to 69 as a low before heading back up (although it is bopping back and forth between 69 and 70 with an apparent secondary cold front moving in). It's currently 71 with dp that is a more pleasant 53, and partly sunny, with lots of cumulus around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Our Chester County record high for today is the 97 degrees from back in 1957. The record low was the 44 degree reading in 1986. Record daily rainfall is the 2.70" that fell today in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 The record lowest maximum temperature for today is 66 degrees today back in 1973. Our maximum temperature so far during the day today is the current 63.9 degrees. However, at 12:01 am the temperature was still at 71.8 degrees so that will go down as the high temperature for the day and we will not be setting a low max record. But it is probably safe to say this will go down as the coldest June 18th during the daytime since record keeping began here in Chester County way back in 1894!

Birds~69 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Although mainly cloudy, nice temps and DPs. Not sure if I'll make it but decent shot at 40s tonight. Some in this subforum will definitely make 40s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 After a low of 64 this morning, my "high" was actually just after midnight at 75 and I was basically running in the upper 60s much of the rest of the day. It's currently clear about 15 minutes before sunset and 64 with dp now down to 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Thanks to an active breeze overnight, I only bottomed out at 54 just before 6 am and the temp has been on the rise since. It's currently sunny with lots of blue sky and a temp of 61, along with a dp that is 42. Definitely a throw open the windows/make use of the screen doors day!

ChescoWx Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Some mid- to upper 40's for low temps in many of the valley locations across Chester County this AM - only made it to 51.5 in East Nantmeal on the VP Station. Today's daily records for Chester County include a record high of 96 degrees set on this date way back in 1905. Record low temp was the 42 degrees in 1956. Record rainfall is the 1.84" that fell today in 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Was surprised to still be at 55 at 4 am this morning and it could be because of the occasional puffs of breeze overnight and scattered clouds overhead. Currently 55 with some cirrus to the east, and dp 42. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
