I don't mind the gloomy conditions so much if we get beneficial rain. It's when we get 3-4 days of overcast, but not much more than some light rain and drizzle out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted Thursday at 12:48 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:48 PM It looks like a nice soaking rain is on the way to the area from tonight through Saturday. This will continue to erode any remaining drought concerns for the area. Most spots should see between 1.0" to 2.0" of rain. We have continued to see below normal temperatures so far this month and this will continue through the weekend. In fact, many spots will stay in the 40's for high temperatures through Saturday. We look to briefly get back above normal early next week before we yet again fall to below normal levels by midweek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted Thursday at 01:05 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:05 PM While it looks like we have seen our last measurable snow of the season....it is not unheard of to see accumulating snow here in Chester County during this full first month of spring. It has been several years since 2018 that we have recorded measurable snow. But on this date back in 1894 we were in the middle of our largest April snowstorm on record. Per the Weather Bureau observer (see his handwritten observations below) the heavy wet snow began falling at Coatesville at 10am on April 10, 1894 and continued to snow until 2pm on April 12th. By that time 29.2" of snow had fallen. Of note the temperature during the entire snowstorm stayed above freezing at between 33.0 and 34.0 degrees. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is how it breaks down by state through April 7th. Surveys continue, so numbers may keep going up in some areas! #MississippiMississippi is leading the charge, followed by #Missouri and #illinois. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted Friday at 01:08 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:08 PM So far overnight we have received 0.06" of rain here in East Nantmeal. Our below normal temperature pattern looks to continue for much of at least the next week with only Monday looking to approach near normal high temperatures for mid-April. Rain showers this morning will become steadier and heavier tonight through tomorrow morning before tapering off to showers later Saturday. Rainfall amounts look to be between 1.0" to 1.5" for much of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
