After some light rain overnight we are starting to see some sunshine across the area. It will be a few degrees below normal today with highs only in the low 60s. Sunshine the next few days with well below normal temps both tomorrow and Monday before we warm to near normal by Tuesday. Next shower chances arrive on Tuesday night.

Looks like the at least parts of the LSV  (THV. LNS, MDT) did a little better with round 2 early this AM.  Picked up .02 more here for an event total of .13.    GFS still tooting the horn for a Hard Freeze next week....2-3 light freezes/frost chances this weekend on Meso's. 

Yes indeed - we were driving home around 12:30am this morning and it was raining "good" - got home to find .05" in the bucket.

Beautiful spring day for Marysville softball Opening Day!

The best part is that my daughter’s team name is the “Blizzards”!

Remarkably, I had nothing to do with it. 
The team suggested a few names & they voted & Blizzards won!

2:15a: Frost Advisory. Already 34 here in Williamsport, our ppl predicted low for the night. I hope it doesn't get lower this spring. Our local farmers have had too many weather problems in recent years. Weather.com headline last week said July and August may be among the hottest we have ever had. I saw numerous times on Twitter this winter that sea temps were very high. More recently the hurricane predictions were for very active season. I will stop the doom and gloom report now.

Slow start this morning and I am still up at 6:00a so I will go first. We dropped to 32 overnight and there is a Freeze Watch for tonight so my wish to not go below 34 in Williamsport again this spring will obviously not come true. Frost and temps under 35 mentioned for Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights this week. Some days with some sun, thank goodness. Next Sunday 73/55.

It got cold with the strong wind out of RF. Lots of blankets sales I saw. 

That happened to us at an Iron Pigs game a few years back. It was a hot upper 80s day. About the 3rd inning a cold front with a hell of a storm blew through. After they resumed play, the temps were in the low 60s with a good wind from the NW that blew from left field.

Mid to upper 30's across most of the county this AM. Today should be an unseasonably chilly late April day with temps likely not escaping the 40's in the higher spots of Chester County this afternoon. I suspect we will see some frost across lower elevations in the county tonight with dew points already well below freezing at this time and clearing skies overnight. Great weather for both Monday and Tuesday before shower chances on Wednesday. Another shot at some frost or even a freeze by Thursday AM again especially in elevations below 500 ft in the county.
Chester County wide records for today: High 90 degrees in both Coatesville and Phoenixville (1976) / Record Low 24 degrees at Coatesville (1928) / Rain 2.11" at Longwood Gardens (2012). Of note today is the earliest day without any measurable snow. The latest measurable snow here in Chester County PA was recorded in Glenmoore on May 2, 1963.
