ChescoWx Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Some of the relative low spots under 400 feet ASL made it down into the 30's this AM. Should be a nice couple of days to finish out the work week with temps reaching the low 70's today and upper 70's tomorrow. Shower chances on the increase by Friday night into Saturday, Sunny for Mom's day. Records for today: High 94 (1896) / Low 27 (1966) / Rain 1.76" (1990) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can notice the haze but I still got fried/more color. These DPs and Hum levels are super duper low....my hands are dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 Bottomed out at 46 this morning and made it to 72 as a high. Currently a hazy 67 with a deck of high clouds, and with dp a low 41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 A couple beautiful warm days ahead to close out the work week! Highs today in the upper 70's with Low 80's tomorrow across Chester County. There is a chance of some rain Saturday morning...which we could really use but then back to a pretty dry and near normal pattern for next week. Records for today: High 93 (1896)/ Low 28 (1947)/ Rain 1.30" (1981) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albedoman Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I know that you guys may not like to hear this, but not having any precip in two weeks in the middle of Spring is not a good thing. The heavy rain we had at the end of April only served to help green us up. The stream levels are down big time as the base flow was was not even touched in the streams, especially the LV and other karst areas of central and eastern PA. We are still in a moderate drought for streamflow. We really need days of daily convective t- storms to help recharge the stream base flows since we had no snow this year. I see no convective type weather for us until maybe the end of the first week of June, if we are lucky. You all may like this cooler 70 degree weather and little to no rain showers but believe me , the farmers sure don't. It will be another 2-3 weeks before the corn even sprouts and maybe longer if we do not get any significant rain. Corn yields will be down significantly if we do not get some type of convective weather pattern going in the next few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, starting Sat for many days we'll be in the 70s/50s night. No blow torch in sight... 76F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Today has a chance to reach the 80 degree mark across much of the County with the exception of some of the higher ridges in western sections. Shower chances increase especially over southern chesco by tomorrow morning. Sun returns on Mother's Day and we should see dry and normal to below normal temps for most of next week with the exception of Tuesday which looks to be several degrees above normal.

Hurricane Agnes Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 Had a high of 81 yesterday after a 66 low and bottomed out at 56 this morning. Have so far briefly tapped 85 about quarter after 12. It's currently a somewhat hazy and partly sunny 84 with plenty of high clouds, and a dp at a not-quite-oppressive-yet 56. ETA to note that I started putting my overwintering subtropical potted plants out but am not quite ready to do the tropicals since they don't like anything below the 50s at night. I usually wait until around Memorial Day for those anyway although the long range seems to suggest I could put them out now (but I don''t want to chance any sneaky 40s between now and the end of the month).

CoolHandMike Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I think we're lucky here in that it's been cloudy almost all day. We'd be in the 90's for sure otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranked the A/C on 67F partially because I've been outside and want come in to a cool climate. It's pretty damn hot, allergies and want to make sure it actually works once we get start to get super fried. 86F/DP 52F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 CFS monthlies suggest Dec a repeat of last winter with trof west ridge SE then a very favorable looking Jan and Feb with strong ridging up top and broad troughiness across the US. Take what we can get. Not that the CFS is ever right but has that Nino look at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 Well I hit 87 for a high @1:45 pm and then it clouded over a bit but has since cleared. Currently a partly cloudy 84 with dp 53.

Hurricane Agnes Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 Have been getting barely measurable light rain most of the morning and into the early afternoon. The bucket finally tipped at only 0.01" so far but will take it at this point. Had a morning low of 67 this morning and it managed to get to 73 before dropping back to the current 69, with a somewhat elevated dp of 62.

Really got screwed in the burbs, everything sliding/slid S of us. It's cloudy and looks like rain but nothing...DPs in the lower 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so still only got a hundredth of an inch but it was still enough going much of the day to wet the streets and walks and plants. I finally got a bucket tip between 1 - 2 pm (radar snapshot below). The line from the cold front is very slowly sagging south but the dews are still up (64 here with temp 70) so it hasn't moved through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still dry under the trees though. Got a smidge of sun right before it settled below the horizon. Nice evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
