ChescoWx Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Should see some warmer than normal temps today before near normal temps for the rest of the upcoming week. Rain chances increase again by tomorrow night but then dry through the rest of the week. Records for Today: High 99 (1918) / Low 43 (1930) / Rain 4.17" (2018) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need them to get wet. Should be late late afternoon - it’ll be a mostly dark hours event. Lots of rain coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 If the summer months of June-July-August ended today this summer would be the 12th coldest summer across 130 summers since records began in Western Chester County in 1894. Of note 5 of the top 20 chilly summers have all occurred since the year 2000. By contrast as you can see only 2 of the hottest top 20 summers on records have occurred since 2000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDT is well BN for the summer as a whole right now...those norms do change like has been stated before...but they currently stand at -1.7 for June, July and August. Removing norms from the equation and looking at mean temps, they currently stand at number 29-32 as of yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Mow #11 in the books but it was partial as about a 1/3 of the lawn is not growing. I am pulling the plug on the met summer mowing season. I am sure I mow again before winter but going to end Met summer with 11 mows as no more mows in August. It was a stretch to mow today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to plant seeds in 3-4 weeks. But where the grass lives, it is green vs. a week or two ago but hardly growing. I bet I mow once or twice more in 2023 but not much more than that. My neighbor has not mowed the sunny portion of his yard since June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know where these top coldest summers are here in Cumberland because I want to sleep with my windows open at night in the summer which I used to be able to do as a kid but can't anymore because it's just way too hot lmao 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tired of weed wacking. I never weed walked so much as this summer since towards the end of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Everything is super green here. I Mowed again early today & by this evening it looks like the grass grew some more already. The 1.40 of rain last evening certainly helped. I’ll probably be mowing again in a few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had less than 16" for the year with it being extra dry in June and most of July. Now, with everything so dry, normal is not enough. The grass would need rain every 2-3 days to try and recover. Under trees it is green again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in D1 with small pockets of D2 throughout. Much of it is attributed to convection drying out between "mountain chains". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am rocking .15” since last Saturday, has to the be the least of any member here. I've been getting screwed a good bit over here lately as well. I had no additional rain from the weekend and am sitting at .31" over the last 16 days. At least I had five and a half inches in July so can't complain too bad. Hoping for some action later this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MU is Meh-U for severe: Today will generally be mostly cloudy across most of PA in advance of an approaching warm front, but it’s not until 4-8 PM that showers and storms should arrive.
