CoolHandMike Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I've been so preoccupied with the smoke that I haven't checked the radar in quite a while. That sure is one heck of an MSC/bow echo sweeping east out of the midwest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Instantly reminded me of the 2012 derecho: I think it's worth keeping an eye on this one. I didn't realize that one crossed into Indiana ~2pm and hit the east coast only 10 hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 FWIW, the mets in the midwest forum are saying it'll most likely turn south. Still a very interesting thing to watch develop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Through yesterday this is now the coldest June in Chester County since way back in 1974. More impressive is not counting today (which should be a rare above average day) this is the 7th coldest June in 130 years of local weather records! We should finish out the month with some hazy sun (thanks Canada) and temps in the low 80's today. A little cooler tomorrow to start out July and then rain chances increase by Saturday night. Records for today: High 98 (1959) / Low 47 (1919) / Rain 2.29" (1921) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Hard to believe but all guidance has substantially cut back precipitation over the next week, like what happened but not complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Pretty warm day out there but once again more sub 90 temps. Hight for the day was 87 here. Current temp 86/DP 66/RH 53% Dewpoint slowly increasing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 We ended June 2023 as the 9th coldest and 12th wettest month of June across over 130 years of Chester County PA records. The coldest June was the 65.2 back in 1907 - we ended this month at 66.1. Our wettest June was the 12.18" that fell in 1938 - we ended this month at 7.49" of rain. Clouds will be on the increase late today with showers chances ramping up by Sunday morning/ Showers some possibly heavy look likely tomorrow into Monday with Sun returning by Independence day. Records for today High 103 (1901) / Low 43 (1952) / Rain 2.39" (1984) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Despite the changeable skies yesterday, I did make it to 86 for a high. I ended June with a hard to believe 7.44" of rain, most of it in the waning weeks of the month. Had a low of 68 this morning and it's currently a once again hazy morning with a temp of 78 and dp that still hasn't dropped, and is at 67.
