E PA/NJ/DE Fall 2023 OBS/Discussion Thread
ChescoWx replied to Rtd208's topic in Philadelphia Region
Lesser chances of showers today across the County but still warmer than normal for nearing mid-September. Cold front crosses the area on Tuesday night and that will set up a below normal stretch of great weather that should last through the weekend. Would not be surprised to see some valley locations touch the 40's by Friday morning. Records for today: High 99 (1897) / Low 34 (1924) / Rain 3.35" (1960) -

Sounds like they found the convict's abandoned van here in East Nantmeal.... -
The first 9 days have been among the warmest starts to September we have ever seen with Glenmoore recording their 6th warmest start (67 years of data) and Western Chester with their 13th warmest (130 years of data) and at Phoenixville 23rd warmest (131 years of data) Many areas across the county have picked up over 0.5" of rain so far today with more on the way. Temps look to fall to well below normal levels by the end of the work week. Records for today: High 99 (1897) / Low 38 (1975) / Rain 1.74" (2015)

Hi Mike...not the best post in Ray's history....I hope he apologizes to the forum. We should never ever devolve on a weather forum to the level of name calling and personal insults like that. I think we can all agree on that! -

For Ray the actual average temperatures by month - who would have thought 6 months a bit warmer at Coatesville and 6 months cooler...a solid highly statistically data set!!- -

By the way I sincerely apologize for Ray's and my posts today. I had asked him to move this conversation out of this forum last evening. We started a discussion there and I thought we agreed to keep it there. Sadly for some reason Ray felt the need to bring it back here and gum up this forum with name calling etc. Apologies again I will keep my posts as always to simple weather facts and observations. Thanks to all for your understanding!! Paul -

I am so sad you are such an angry man Ray...i have never and would never call you any names like you have devolved too above....I can't change the numerical facts as presented above....facts and actual data as I will always present is all we have. Take care Ray! -

ChescoWx replied to Rtd208's topic in Philadelphia Region
Sigh ..Ray why the anger and the name calling. No place for that here. While I am far from a statistical genius it really is not difficult to see that those 2 data points with more than 1500 data points (days) can't be that incredibly close by chance....hence why they are considered to be statistically equivalent. They just cannot be that close by chance Ray....it just is what it is! And it most certainly does NOT suck to me LOL!!!! -

Sorry Ray here is the actual average temperature comparison for the above - can't get any more exact than this!! Coatesville 2W = 52.672 East Nantmeal = 52.673 -
In East Nantmeal we picked up 0.08" of rain so far since last night. It appears rain chances will be ramping up across the County later today through Sunday night. We do need the rain as we are now over 4 inches below our normal year to date rainfall through yesterday. Records for today: High 94 (1959) / Low 38 (1975) / Rain 2.15" (1972)

Correct I just wanted to see how much of a difference a poorly sited station can make. -

I have moved the ambient around from more shaded spots to the south hill most sun exposed location with no real variations...clearly the rooftop station should always be warmest...and not valid - the others are right in line with each other -

ChescoWx replied to Rtd208's topic in Philadelphia Region
You are correct!! As you know I am a bit of a data and weather weenie and I put it there precisely to prove that a poorly sited weather station and climate data can make an approximate 1 degree difference in average temperature. But it also clearly proves that my other 2 stations sited correctly according to NWS standards are accurate for a rural location in the county I live in. -

Hey Birds Ran the numbers below some surprises to me that during the summer months May through August my Ambient station which is in full sun most of the day and on a slight south facing slope ended up cooler in 3 of the 4 months and also overall than my VP2 which actually gets a bit more shade then the Ambient. Of course the roof runs warmer but about what you would expect with that siting - interesting - thanks for making me do the analysis!! Imagine if I used the coolest station on my property and used that for my analysis?? The folks would be even more up in arms!! LOL!! -

Could do no better than 84.3 on the VP2 84.0 on the Ambient and even the rooftop Tempest 86.7 (see below) failed to touch 90 today ending it's longest stretch ever since it was installed back in 2020 of 90+ days! See it can get to 90 in East Nantmeal.....just need some toasty roof tiles!! -

They don't bring it up again and I won't either - I simply will report the data without commentary or "drivel"
