Well sure.....says goofus

We finished with between 0.25” to 0.45” of rain across the area yesterday. I still have to run the final numbers, but it looks like January 2025 will finish as a Top 25 or 30 cold January in our recorded climate history back to 1894. We also finished with above normal snowfall. I will have the final January climate summary later today. A roller coaster ride in temperatures this week with both snow and rain chances starting around midweek. Unsurprisingly, the first 2 weeks of February will have at least a few chances of snow. Keep in mind that February is the snowiest month here in the philly burbs.

Some rain totals so far today with some more to come this evening. East Nantmeal 0.25"/ Atglen 0.23" / Chester Springs 0.20" / Glenmoore 0.25" / Warwick Twp. 0.19" / Devault 0.19" / Kennett Square 0.28" and West Chester the winner so far at 0.31"

We picked up 0.06" of rain overnight here in East Nantmeal. Rain today and this evening could bring us between 0.50" to 0.75" of much needed rain across the area. Mild today to close out our colder than normal January with temperatures well into the 40's. Chillier and dry over the weekend before milder for much of next week.

Dry and near normal temperatures today for the end of January. This has been one of the drier January's in our history. The good news is the pattern looks to be changing to a wetter one over the next couple of weeks. Our first chance of rain arrives toward dawn tomorrow morning with as much as an inch of rain possible. Tomorrow we rise to well above normal temperatures before we fall back to near normal over the weekend.

Lock it in - only 360 hours to go!

We have a wind advisory in effect till 6pm tonight for gusts that could be as high as 50 mph. Today will be our warmest day since the 45.7 degree reading on New Years Day temperatures should touch the mid-40's. Cooler tomorrow, warmer Friday before near normal temperatures for the weekend. Dry today and tomorrow before some much-needed rain on Friday. We are currently running at just 25% of our normal melted snow and rain for the month of January.

Oh no!!! The many climate alarmists on this forum will be pleased to see that just today the "famous" Doomsday Clock is symbolically clicking closer to midnight with what they call the "lack of positive progress on global challenges" including climate change!!! Regarding climate they say "the global attempts to reduce climate change remains poor, as governments aren't enacting the necessary policies to halt global warming"

Plenty of clouds around today with our temperatures near normal (upper 30's) for late January. Tomorrow looks like the warmest day of the week with highs into the mid-40's. Some much-needed rain moves in by Friday morning which could briefly start as some freezing rain. The sun returns on Saturday with more rain by Sunday night.

Something for everyone over the next couple weeks - if you believe in Goofus...

With an average US Temperature now 4.1 degrees below normal this January is on pace for the coldest 1st month of the year in 37 years (1988) across the US!

Near normal temperatures to start the week rising to slightly above on Wednesday before chillier again on Thursday. Rain chances increase by Friday with some mixed wintry precipitation possible by later in the weekend.

Go Birds! Near normal late January temperatures today through Tuesday. We then see one above normal day on Wednesday with temps in the mid-40's before we turn back to below normal temperatures to close out the work week. The chances increase by next weekend of a wintry mix of snow to freezing rain to rain.

1994 while cold was far from dry with over 7" of liquid in January at Coatesville and 6" at West Chester with another 4" at Coatesville in Feb and 3" at West Chester

Finally got around to updating my analysis of PHL Airport average annual temperatures vs. the Chester County PA NWS COOP/AWOS and Mesonet sites for 1941 through 2024. The UHI impact at PHL becomes clearer with each passing year.
