Better late than never but a 5 pm Sat. update (although it has strengthened over the past couple days, it is expected to become post-tropical tomorrow and dissipate next week) -
After a high that barely cracked freezing yesterday (33), I bottomed out at 23 this morning, a degree "warmer" than yesterday morning's low of 22. Currently 29 and overcast.
I was over at my sister's house yesterday and got ladybugged to death yesterday as I was wrapping her fig. It had hit a high of 63 in this area yesterday so it was a good day to do it.
But that is all a memory as I got flakes flying here with the temp down to 35 after a high earlier this morning of 54. Looks like a heavier band is incoming.
I saw that a few RERs were issued this morning - ILG (tied record low of 24), MPO (record low of 11, previous 13), & TTN (smashed record low with a 19, previous 24).
It did manage to make it up to 40 here today and is currently 35 & partly cloudy.
Bottomed out at 22 (21.7) here this morning. Currently 35, partly sunny (with quite a bit of cirrus) and dps in the teens, so it's pretty chilly for this time of year... although with little or no wind, it's not too bad.
Ended up with 0.15" rain yesterday with a high of 59 & low of 38. And this morning I bottomed out at 32 (31.8) and haven't moved much since as it's currently 38 and partly cloudy with a bunch of puffy cumulus.

Had a high of 52 yesterday and bottomed out at 32 (31.5) this morning. The frost was heavy on the cars to boot. Currently recovering pretty quickly though, up to 39 (apparently a return flow starting as others around the area are in that range), and mostly sunny.
Bottomed out at 33 here this morning and yup, with a dp low of 28 and calm conditions between 4 am & 7 am, there was frost on the cars. Currently 40 and clear.
I was thinking that was near where you are (or at least north of you). I am really shocked that it was an EF2, which is rare around this area during the severe season, let alone when we are well into fall.
Wow. I saw that the NWS confirmed an EF2 in Delco -
I guess what was originally considered a "meh" line decided to prove that it had other plans.
My sister who lives in Wyndmoor has had her power out since last night and and most of her township (Springfield in Montco) had outages including the schools (which were closed today due to that).
Both my sisters (one in Delco and one in Montco) have power out. Heard the EAS around 11:30 pm and heard the wind roar, although I was expecting some lightning/thunder but didn't see/hear any, so this was mostly a gust front. Temp was 71 around 11 pm and once the front came through, fell off a cliff. Finished up with 0.65" or rain total yesterday and have 0.19" so far this morning.
Currently down to 44 and clear but windy.
Looks like Norman swooped in and put up a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for the Philly metro area -
Meanwhile I'm up to 0.32" of rain for the day so far (spread throughout) and currently 70.
Ended up with 0.17" of rain yesterday spread over much of the day, with a low of 59 and high of 64. It's currently overcast and misty and a juicy 66 with 0.09" of rain so far that happened early this a.m.
Pretty sharp precip cutoff with the front and the sun had popped out about 30 minutes ago although there are some debris clouds around at the moment. Ended up with 1.43" of rain, with the heaviest rates between 11 am and noon (around 1"/hr). Low was 54 this morning and it hit 70 around an hour ago although currently it's down to 69 and mostly cloudy, with breaks in the ceiling where you can see the blue sky.
But then if you look at the years that the climatology data covers (1981 - 2010), it's literally missing the last almost 10 years, where some significant temperature extremes have occurred - notably warm temps even in the last 5 years.
I blame you for this but I generated some temp anomaly maps for data from 2010 - 2018 (the latest they have so far) -
(top is "annual" and bottom is "cold season Nov - Apr")
Was surprised that I picked up a higher amount of rain from the front yesterday (0.89" w/high of 63 & low of 56) than from the Nestor remnants on Sunday (0.59" w/high 55 & low of 46).
Had some fog this morning interestingly enough and bottomed out at 52 earlier this morning. Currently 55 and mostly sunny.
