Got down to 32° on the dot this morning.

Widespread lows were in the 30’s overnight with some valley locations near or below freezing this morning. The lowest reading was the 31.5 at Warwick Township. That is tied for the 2nd coldest reading for today’s date across Chester County behind only the 31-degree low recorded at Coatesville in 1907 and Morgantown in 1963, That may well be our last freezing observation across the county until October. We continue with below normal temperatures through the rest of the work week before we warm up to well above normal temperatures starting Saturday and into next week. Rain chances increase by tomorrow night into Thursday morning.

I drove through the East Quabbin hill towns yesterday. Wilderness with scattered houses. It’s so rural. Good sandwiches at Petersham Country Store though.

I love these chilly nippy May days

Weekend looks great. Heat building early next week - 80s-90 Tuesday and Wednesday looks possible

.87" total rain yesterday. Wonderful!! Low of 34.9 with clouds and fog.

It gets any colder you'll be posting snow maps.

37 low in Marysville

Thursday with highs in the upper 50's seems like the last chilly day until fall. Maybe we can sneak in a few backdoor fronts in June and have a couple relief days of drizzle. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

The one day in July I was stuck in Houston because storms cancelled my flight made me amazed anything ever was built down there. I never had so many big bites. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

There’s nothing anyone could possibly get out of that. It means heat on in cars and houses and extreme irritability if they live there.

There’s about three people and some black bears that live there.

41.9 for the low, impressive amount of mid 30s in northern piedmont including my farm in Louisburg at 35.5! Won’t see these temps again till next fall

The westward lean is closer to the +ENSO MJO 7 composite with the ridge from coast to coast. But notice how the troughs are weaker in the coming forecast near the Aleutians and Baja. Similar to the weak La Niña this past winter when the ridge out West was stronger than the trough in the East. While it may be too early to draw conclusions about next winter, this would result in a weaker Aleutian Low and possibly a weaker low in the Southeast like we saw in 2023-2024 and 2015-2016 relative to 1997-1998 and 1982-1983.

EPS Days 11-15 looks nothing like May El Nino in the Pacific We may be running back 23-24 as far as the Pacific pattern goes

No surprise that the El Nino is beginning to couple with a westward lean close to the +30C warm pool.

29 and heavy frost. Tired of these cold mornings. Had to cover plants again last night.

41 imby this morning. 30s at surrounding stations. 19 at canaan nwr.

Is there anything more exciting than frost on the car in May?

Had to turn the heat back on this morning for a bit.

38 when I left the house and 36 through the rurals. Not shabby for mid May. Looks like it won’t be long before we have some sustained warmth.

@Ginx snewx

That would be fine with me. It's the earliest Memorial Day possible this year. So, with almost a full week of May left after the Monday holiday, it won't really feel like the start of summer anyway.
