It's currently 39 with dp 22. believe me, after this week, this map will change big time. Much of this info is based on existing USGS streamflow, well yields data and evap rates. When the water resources are getting sucked out of the ground by our citizens through watering their gardens/lawns/golf courses, washing their vehicles to get the constant pollen and dust off their vehicles (yellow and green haze- which by the way will seem unusually thick this year) and basic spring cleaning chores along with drinking more water because it will be in the mid 80's next week, that map will be history. The models indicate one slim chance of rain on or near the 19th and thats it for the next 10-15 days. We really need a Noreaster right now with 2-3 in rains over several days. The farmers will be plowing dust in the air in the next few weeks. I will bet somewhere in our region, , the media will take pictures of the excessive pollen dust on the vehicles or the plows blowing up dust storms. Thats how they work-- sensationalism. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 Bottomed out at 33 this morning. Interestingly enough, there were some puffs of breeze between 4 am - 6 am that probably disrupted the full radiational cooling before it went calm before 6 am. In any case, the temps recovered quickly and it's currently 53 and sunny with dp 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 Really nice day yesterday and I made it up to 58 for a high. This morning was actually a degree "warmer" for the low of 34 compared to yesterday morning's 33, even with calm conditions maintained through the night and early morning. Temps have recovered however and am now up to 44 with dp 37. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Made it down to 30.2°F, which was 6 degrees below forecast. I wonder what tonight's forecast low of 40 will actually be. We have seedlings that are waiting to be planted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 yep, the drought weenie called it LOL 249 AM EDT Tue Apr 11 2023 ...ELEVATED RISK OF WILDFIRE SPREAD THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING... A combination of low relative humidity, gusty westerly winds, and dry fine fuels will lead to an elevated risk for fire spread with any potential fire starts this afternoon across New Jersey and southeast Pennsylvania. Minimum relative humidity values this afternoon will range from 20 to 25 percent across the region. Winds will be sustained from 10 to 15 mph with gusts around 20 to 25 mph, highest around mid to late afternoon. Fine fuel moisture may be somewhat of a limiting factor, mainly across southern New Jersey, due to rainfall last Friday. Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential ignition source, including machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Be sure to properly discard all smoking materials. Any dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter that ignite will have the potential to spread fire quickly. For more information about wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and eduction, please visit your state`s forestry or environmental protection website.

ChescoWx Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Today begins a stretch of well above normal temps that will last into the start of the weekend. Looks like we cool down to normal to a little below again by the middle of next week. We should see 80's by Thursday and Friday...but we should stay well below the record highs for those dates. We could use some rain as we are now at only 71% of normal through today. Records for today: High 84 (2017) / Low 23 (1909) / Precipitation 1.85" (1894) / Snow - today in 1894 marks the end of the greatest 2 day late season April snowstorms in the counties history. With today's 18.5" of snow along with the previous day's 9.7" we recorded a wet snow total of 28.2" in Western Chester County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
