RedSky Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Loving the cloudy day today before the five day stretch of cloudy and rain/mostly cloudy starts, nice touch nature. The near record SSWE in early March ruined our spring. Despite it all the eclipse is looking like 75% chance of good viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franklin Institute: (Weather looks pretty good) On Monday, April 8, beginning at 2:08 pm, a solar eclipse will be visible across America. Because here in Philadelphia, we are off the path of totality, we’ll see a partial eclipse, the first in this region since August 21, 2017. Around Philadelphia, the moon will cover 90% of the sun. https://fi.edu/en/exhibits-and-experiences/seasonal-events/eclipses/april-8-2024-total-solar-eclipse#:~:text=On Monday%2C April 8%2C beginning,cover 90% of the sun. 46F/Cloudy...rain looks just W of PSU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossing fingers that holds because all of the media hype since last December, kept blanking this area out for viewing based on historical trends (although we do often miss nighttime phenomena due to weather no matter what time of year ). Hell... "90%" is more than what we got in 2017 and 2017 was pretty cool in any case! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 1.33" of rain so far since yesterday here in East Nantmeal with 0.73" falling since midnight. Our wet and chilly start to April continues through Thursday.

ChescoWx Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Here in Chester County PA this March was the 19th warmest average temp on record. . Four of the top 5 warmest March months were all before 1950 in rank order 51.7 (1945) / 51.4 (1921) / 50.0 (2012) / 49.1 (1946) / 48.1 (1903). Of note look how the National Center of Environmental Information (NCEI) chilled the average temperatures pre-1950 with post hoc cooling adjustments to mute the warmth we saw in those decades. 1945 Actual 51.7 - adjusted 49.6 / 1921 Actual 51.4 - adjusted 49.7 / 1946 actual 49.1 - adjusted 47.3 and 1903 actual 48.1 after adjustment 46.8. Interestingly not one available individual reporting station reported a number as low as these post hoc averages in any of these months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Temp has stayed pretty steady much of the day and round 3 gave me another 0.60" for a total of 1.23" for the day so far. Round 4 looks to be out in western PA, probably due here overnight and into tomorrow, triggering formation of a nor'easter at some point. Currently in a rain lull but it's misty and 45, with dp 45.
