0.30" so far. Third straight rainy Saturday, although the QPF from today and last week is not really amounting to much.

First frozen of the year here. Brief Graupel/sleet

i need it to be warm for my el nino costume

First freeze in the books with 30 degrees here.

You’re in NYC. It’s below freezing like 3 times a year.

Of note 54 years ago today back in 1972 Chester County was experiencing a rare early season snow event that left as much as 3.0" of snow at Morgantown. After a little rain yesterday with between 0.1" to 0.3" falling, today our high temperatures were reached at midnight. Daytime temperatures today will remain in the upper 40's to Low 50's which is about 10 to 15 degrees below normal daytime highs for mid-October. The NWS has issued a freeze warning for tonight with temperatures near freezing or below in valley locations to just above freezing on the ridge tops. Temperatures will run 4 to 8 degrees below normal through Monday before we return to near normal by Tuesday, but by Saturday we drop to about 4 degrees below normal. We look to stay dry through Saturday according to the ChescoWx model.
