Of course Memorial day fun folks love it (at least inland, MD and south beaches still looks sour). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 7 of the last 10 days have featured below normal temperatures. The next couple days will continue that trend before a warm to near normal over the weekend and slightly above normal temps by next week. We have a good chance to finish in the top 20 coldest May's in Chester County history. If the month ended today it would be the 15th chilliest May on record. Unfortunately, rain chances continue to look slim across most of Chester County with the best chance of any rain being Memorial Day evening. In fact with only 0.21" of rain so far this month we are well on our way to the 2nd dryest May in Chester County history...behind only 1964 that received a paltry 0.14" of rain. Records for today: High 92 (1991) / Low 38 (1926) / Rain 1.92" (1952) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 New drought map is out, and they ignore us. Did not change much if at all and they do not mention the monthly 3+ deficit in their write up. We are not behind where we were before the late April rains and the drought monitor indexes all are not good. Streams, ground water, etc. Northeast Drought Summary A brief shot of rain provided some relief from short-term dryness. As heavy rain spread northward along the Atlantic Coast, daily-record rainfall totals for May 20 totaled at least 2 to 3 inches or more in Providence, Rhode Island (3.02 inches), and Bridgeport, Connecticut (2.34 inches). As a result, there were modest reductions in the coverage of abnormal dryness (D0), mainly from Long Island to Maine. As rain arrived, topsoil moisture rated very short to short by the U.S. Department of Agriculture peaked in Maine at 65%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mount Joy Snowman Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 No rain at all here last night from the frontal passage. Very disappointing. Baring a surprise late this weekend, the MDT record for driest May looks extremely likely. We should end up almost exactly 2 degrees BN for the month as well. Not sure how many people had a below normal temp and record driest on their monthly bingo card. June looks to start hot but I don't see any records in jeopardy. Let's get summer started!

Wait are you in San Antonio? If so go to Orginal Blanco Cafe (downtown) for lunch. Or get the best tacos you'll ever eat from Garcia's Mexican Food. If you're in Texas hit me up and I'll direct you to good eats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Nooners 60 and breezy. The NAM continues to put us under the influence of the ULL this weekend...Rgem and Icon real close as well. GFS rolling out at the at the moment. (Edit-GFS is still close but cuts off right at the M/D line...much warmer than this look below) Like every Memorial day it seems, feel sorry for the beach goers where the low gets up to.

The GFS has been doing a good job forecasting these dry, cold nights and it does not show another period of them for over 10 days out (June 8th) @ 300 hours+ so you know how that is....not likely at 300 hours. So, after tomorrow AM's low 40's this might be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
