CoolHandMike Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Huh. Woke up today with .29" in the bucket. Nice, but not enough for Berks County to rescind their outdoor burn ban. Hope it lifts by the end of May at least because my wife and I were planning some evening firepit campfires the week of our anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 52F at 10:50pm Very breezy/windy at times. Windows open, blinds being blown then smacking against the wall coming back. Good lawn cutting day tomorrow....50s/breezy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Typical up and down temps with spring weather. Well below normal temps today with highs struggling to reach the low to mid 50's. But a quick warmup to the 80's by Friday before a change back to well below normal by the end of the weekend into next week. Also a good chance of some rain starting Saturday. Records for today: High 95 (1896) / Low 21 (1928) / Rain 1.43" (1924) and Snow 0.3" (1983) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds~69 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 55F/gusty Good thing about the wind: Cut lawn/trimmed today. No leaf blower needed, clippings scooted right off the driveway/sidewalk. Bad thing about the wind: If you have "cut the cord" and rely on a digital antenna, the wind screws w/your signal. Sporadic pixel problems/interference w/gust...

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 Made it up to 60 for a high today after a 49 low. Dews were definitely down today compared to yesterday and the breezes that had kicked in yesterday evening, continued much of today. Currently partly sunny and 56 with dp 36.

ChescoWx Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Some of the lower spots across the county saw sub-freezing temps this AM. Here in East Nantmeal we made it down to 33.4 degrees. Our last freezing morning was on April 9th...could that one and today in lower spots be our last such reading until October or November? I will post growing season stats later. We should warm back to about normal levels this afternoon (low 60's) before a big warm up to close the week. Temps on Friday could touch the mid-80's before showers arrive Saturday night and a return to cooler weather next week.

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 Winds went calm overnight and the radiational cooling took over IMBY. Bottomed out at 36 here (with a dp as low a 29) this morning although temps are on the upswing. Currently mostly sunny and 46 with dp 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Made it to juuust below freezing here. Welp, that was fun while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Low spots like Marsh Creek touched the 30's this morning, while higher spots like East Nantmeal could go no lower than the upper 40's. Today will be near 10 degrees above normal in the mid-70's with tomorrow reaching the 80's. Showers should arrive late Saturday with a stretch of below normal temps looking likely next week to close out April and to open up the month of May.

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 SPC SW DY2 has much of the CWA in Marginal Risk for the weekend - After a low of 47 yesterday morning, I eventually made it up to 75 late in the afternoon. Currently 50 with dp 48 and some low stratus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Well above normal temps for today and tomorrow before some thunderstorms arrive with a cold front tomorrow late afternoon into the evening. We could pick up as much as an inch of much needed rain with these storms. A turn to much cooler and well below normal temps looks to continue for much of the remainder of the month of April.

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 My low ended up being 50 this morning and it begrudgingly made it to an oddly pleasant 82 as a high, despite a dp at or near 60. There was also a thin haze of high clouds visible through the otherwise blue sky. Currently 66 with dp 57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 SPC bumped the risk zones north a bit: Looked outside and noticed the clouds absolutely booking it. Looks like a divergent upper-level jet will be the main factor in today's severe weather risk, with maybe a little daytime heating stirred in the mix.

Mt. Holly has been using KDOX and I have switched to that too for now. Had bottomed out at 52 this morning and so far got as high as 77 today although it's down to 76 (dp 57) with the sun in and out. Just pulled up an old outdoor patio rug to toss to be replaced with a new one as soon as I go get one (was gonna do it yesterday but was getting the car inspected and it needed some suspension work and replacement rotors that took longer than expected because they were waiting on a guy to bring the parts).

Nothing in the rain bucket, but we did have a 30 mph gust earlier. I read the AFD about an hour ago and they mentioned that there would be some storms ahead of the front so there is more behind what dry-slotted you. It's literally pushing up from due south and being shoved to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpantz Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Pea sized hail and (I'd guess) 40-50 mph gusts around Easton, PA about 30-40 minutes ago with the stuff ahead of the line. Pretty impressive, all told. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
