This morning was the coldest August morning here in East Nantmeal in over 10 years with our morning low of 51.7. This was the coldest reading since the 51.5 on August 15, 2014. Quite a few of the lower elevation spots reached the 40's with the lowest being the 45.8 at Warwick Township. We should see the higher spots again remaining in the unseasonably chilly 60's for highs today before we start a warming trend tomorrow through the weekend. Chester County Records for today: High 102 degrees at Sadsburyville (1916) / Low 41 degrees at Phoenixville (1949) / Rain 2.73" at West Grove (1933)

No real heat anywhere in our future if the GFS is to be believed....

Most spots dropped into the 50's this morning with the lowest being in East Nantmeal at 57.3 degrees - that was our coolest reading since the 56.3 degree low back on June 28th. Temperatures today in the higher ridge locations will top out just below 70 degrees - if that occurs this would mark the first time we have failed to at least reach 70 degrees since the 66.1 degree high on June 11th. There is no rain in sight for the rest of this week and our below normal temps will gradually increase to near normal by the weekend. No real heat in our future and for some spots 90 degree days are possibly over for this season. Chester County records for today: High 100 degrees at Phoenixville (1983) / Record Low was 39 degrees at Phoenixville (1949) this is also the earliest recording of a sub 40 degree temperatures in county history. Rain 4.00" at West Grove (1939)

A cold front will cross the county from west to east early this afternoon. We could see a couple of storms but most of the heaviest rain should stay NW of Chesco. Almost autumnal weather on the way once this front passes with temps tomorrow struggling to escape the upper 60's in the higher spots of the county. Lower spots may well see some lows in the 40's by Wednesday morning. Dry weather should continue through next weekend with temps rebounding to near normal. Chester County record for today: High 99 degrees at Phoenixville (1931) / Low 45 degrees at Coatesville (1896) / Rain 5.60" at West Chester (1939)

Rain chances ramp up again this afternoon with some spots especially to the northwest of Chesco in line for some heavy rain. Another round of showers tomorrow afternoon with a sharp cold front passing through from west to east toward rush hour. By Tuesday temps will fall to well below normal levels with some higher spots on Tuesday not escaping the 60's for afternoon highs. Some lower spots may actually touch the 40's for lows by Wednesday morning. Chester County records for today: High 98 degrees at West Chester (2002) / Low 42 degrees at Phoenixville (1945) / Rain 4.44" at Phoenixville (1938)

Not our best weather weekend on the way. Some showers have already moved through the county this morning with more on the way through the weekend. We should start to see clearing later in the day on Monday. We then fall to well below normal temperatures starting on Tuesday...in fact on Tuesday some higher spots in Chester County may struggle to escape the 60's for high temps. We should see high temps for the remainder of the week staying in the below normal 70's all work week. Chester County records for today: High 100 degrees at Phoenixville (1944) / Low 41 degrees at Hopewell (1979) / Rain 5.28" at Coatesville (1928)

thoughts I would split down the middle the entire Chester County PA data set. With an annual average temperature analysis of the first 66 years of data from 1893 thru 1957 vs. the last 65 years from 1958 thru 2023. The average temperature from 1893-1957 was 53.0 degrees The average temperature from 1958 - 2023 was 52.6 degrees The last 65 years have been 0.4 degrees cooler than the previous 66 years.....alarming!!!! -

So far in August we are averaging slightly below normal temperatures. Today will be the warmest day we have had in over a week across the county with temps in the mid to upper 80's. Rain chances increase tomorrow and through much of Monday. A general 1" to 2" of rain look possible. We turn back to below normal temps by next Tuesday and that should last through much of next week. Chester County records for today: High 101 degrees at West Chester (1988) / Low 43 degrees at Coatesville (1979) / Rain 2.45" at Devault (1966)

August Average Temps since 1893.....don't be scared!!!

Lower spots in the county again touched below normal low temps in the 50's this AM... while the higher spots stayed in the lower 60's. Our great weather continues for the rest of the work week with temperatures close to normal for mid-August before rain chances ramp up toward the weekend. Chester County records for today: High 101 degrees at West Chester (2002) / Low 40 degrees at Morgantown/Elverson (1964) / Rain 2.80" at Phoenixville (1919)

Right! They are of course only 3 sites in the county....but because of that we should accept that NOAA chose to chill 106 straight years?? In most cases below any recorded station in the entire county?? But don't ask that Paul.....it's just science and we should not question it!!!

Here in Chester County our last White Christmas was in 2012 when 2" fell on Christmas Eve

All spots saw temps fall into the 50's this morning. It looks like a near perfect late summer week on tap across the area with sunny skies and low humidity. Highs no higher than the low 80's and night in the upper 50's to lower 60's. No rain chances till toward the weekend. Chester County records for today: High 101 at Coatesville (1900) / Low 45 degrees at Coatesville (1930) / Rain 5.22" also at Coatesville (1955. That rain was from Hurricane Connie which was followed just a few days later by Hurricane Diane. At Coatesville in that month 17.81" of rain fell along with 16.87" at Devault.
