ChescoWx Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 A relatively small (30%) chance of showers late today. Otherwise our warm stretch of highs the mid to upper 80's continues. The record high today is 98 degrees set in 1900. Our record low is 46 degrees from 1944. Daily rainfall record is 2.91" from 1908. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 My final high for yesterday was 91 and my "low" (in quotes) was 72 this morning. So started out with a steamy window morning. It touched 87 earlier but the sky has filled up with cumulus, basically blocking the sun, so it's currently 86 with a very noticeable dp of 72. I could feel the near sauna out there this morning when i went out to run some errands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably means the changeover line will be west of Cleveland this winter Looks like fall out there with the leaves coming down, but certainly feels like summer (cuz it is)...89F/DP 66F Hit 90F for a bit yesterday, should do so again today. Can I hit 90F tomorrow and sneak in another heatwave?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albedoman Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 popup showers 10% chance of getting one by this evening. All the main t-storm formation is again west of the Alleghenies- will never make it here by nightfall. Like I posted earlier this week , the drought will continue and get worse until a tropical storm breaks this crappy pattern for good and helps pulls down canadian cool air hopefully by the third week in september. Issues to contend with: 1. Leaves are scorched on many trees(sycamores, tulip poplars and maples ) and are falling like it is mid October. The summer web worm is also having a field day in Lehigh County and many walnut trees are becoming defoliated. making more leaves fall. Autumn peak colors will be like crap around here. 2. Stream base flows are falling big time . The 1-2 inch rain early in week helped only to temporarily green the lawns but did absolutely jack crap for the aquifers and stream base flows. 3. Overnight temps are killing us more than the daytime dryness. With no cool nights, we are not reaching the dewpoints and forming moisture on the vegetation and in the air. To make matters worse, the A/C is working overtime because no one can sleep when low temps are between the mid 60's and 70's 4. The current pattern will temporarily break on around Sept 1-2 and we will finally get lows to hit near the dewpoints of 45-50 degrees. But that will be only for a few days and then we are back into the SOS weather pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I managed to hit 91 again today for 90+ day #12 for August (#32 since May). Currently partly sunny and 89 and the dews mixed out a bit and are "down to" 67. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Just a small chance of any showers by late PM today across the county. Our best chance of some showers looks to be on Tuesday PM. Our record high for today is 98 degrees from 1900. The record low is 1968 at 46 degrees. The daily rainfall record is the 5.25" that fell in 1971.

JTA66 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I'm underwhelmed by our new, wet weather pattern. Hit 91F yesterday. Forecasted high today is 88F. Wouldn't be surprised if temps overperform and I make it to 90F for a third consecutive day. 77F/DP 65F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to know consistently what the ocean water temps are say 35 to 65 miles offshore then because that would tell the whole story. All I know is that in my lifetime I have never seen a report as high as 84.7 at ACY that's pretty incredible (I am 48 just for the record and have followed these things since I was say oh 8 years old.) As we all know too around here whether it is an approaching hurricane, nor'easter development, or the rain snow line come winter the ocean temperatures play a very critical role I-95 corridor north and west. Oh, by the way I truly appreciate your data analysis from Natmeal Township. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Made it to 89F today, then the clouds rolled in. Avoided a “heatwave” by that much. Gotta take these small victories where you find them. Sitting at 86F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta take these small victories where you find them. Sitting at 86F. Same. The " 90F+ heatwave" thing is a bunch of crap. I'll take 90F/DP in the 50s rather than 85F and DPs 70+. It's a media thing hype... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Like everyone else here N/W of PHL, the clouds rolled in and hung around for most of the afternoon, keeping the 90 away IMBY but got close. Made it to 89, although the clouds did start to break up some in the past hour but I think we are pretty much past peak heating at this point. Currently partly sunny and 87 with dp 65.

BBasile Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Sea breeze is kicking off tons of convection to my south east. Currently have something forming directly above me.

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Bottomed out at 73 this morning with no fog but lots of stratus,. The skies have been changeable this morning, with the sun occasionally breaking through and then disappearing. The big difference today has been the humidity, Currently overcast and 77 with dp 72.

ChescoWx Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Some spots could see a shower across the county today. With temps through Wednesday remaining above our normal high this week of around 80 degrees. Of note down in Philadelphia at the PHL airport they are in the middle of their 5th "heat wave" (3 or more 90 degree days in a row) of the summer. Yesterday was their 43rd day over 90 degrees this summer. To contrast the 3 closest airports near Chester County - Coatesville (9 days) / Pottstown (10 days) West Chester (17 days) combined have seen only 36 such days! Of course here in East Nantmeal we have still seen but 1 day all summer that has reached the 90 degree mark. It seems to me we should tell our neighbors down in the big city that if they wish to avoid heat waves you don't have to go far....just to our backyards here in Chesco! Some interesting climate record notes for today in the county. Our record high is 98 degrees set in 1973. Our record low is 38 degrees set back in 1982. That low temperature is the earliest reading in the 30's ever recorded in the county with records now back to 1888. The daily rainfall record is the 3.23" that fell back in 2011.

Which just goes to show that old mets don't go off into the sunset but can pop-up like a convective cell in Emergency Management! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
