A beautiful Friday on tap with temps rising into the low 60's. Tomorrow looks wet especially from the afternoon through Sunday morning. Unseasonably chilly tomorrow with some higher spots remaining in the 40's. Slow moderation next week with more shower chances late Monday night. Records for today: High 87 (1954) / Low 27 (1906) / Rain 2.03" (1927)

Today looks to be our last near normal temperature day before a stretch of well below normal temps and plenty of rain looking likely this weekend. I would not be surprised if some higher spots in the county struggle to get out of the 40's on Saturday. Who will turn their heat on? Records for today: High 86 (1962) / Low 27 (1962) / Rain 2.96" (1904)

Quite a few of the lower spots in the county reached the mid to upper 30's this AM. We did reach 40.3 here in East Nantmeal good for our chilliest reading since the 35.9 back on May 18.

These first 5 days of October have been the 21st warmest start to the month since 1894. See top 20 below. However, a sharp change to below normal begins tomorrow. In fact today looks to be the last day that reaches 70 degrees for at least a couple weeks and possibly until next spring, Temps by Sunday and Monday will remain in the unseasonably chilly 50's by day and low 40's at night. Some showers can be around today with steadier rain overnight tonight with the cold frontal passage.

You need to move up hill to your neighbor in Reading....while you almost touched 90 he couldn't escape the 70's

We have had a very warm start here to October with high temperatures ranging from the upper 70's to low 80's across the County. Today and the next couple of days will continue that trend. However, we will see a sharp turn to much cooler than normal temperatures by the weekend. We may see temps across the higher spots of Chester County remaining in the low 50's on Sunday. We should see below normal autumnal temps continuing for most of next week. We will see rain chances ramping up by Friday evening continuing through Saturday AM. Go Phillies! Records for today: High 94 (1941) / Low 28 (1965) / Rain 2.04" (1902)

All I do is post the actual available climate data for all of the sites in my area. Clearly most of the COOP and AWOS sites around me had a below normal September. Yet we all know when the NCEI numbers come out it will of course be warm!! They will make the necessary "adjustments" to get the data "right"

Jns2183 this too is my belief... the earth is absolutely warming that is a fact!! I too am all about doing good things for our planet. What is not clear is was there similar warming between 1345 and 1545 on the planet? What was the normal high during that period? How many degrees above or below normal was it? 1c?? Answer...we really truly do not know....

So how do they pull together the data for the county if not through the NWS observer data? That said it will of course show warming....Could those "official" sites have a warm bias?? By the way in New Holland NWS COOP site also a below normal September - 13th chilliest September with 32 years of record....
