Only made it down to 59 degrees here in EN. Today should be the best weather day of the week with sun and temps reaching the mid to upper 70's. Rain chances return by late tonight. Chester County area records for today: High 99 degrees at Phoenixville (1930) / Low 28 at Coatesville (1974) / Rain 2.74" Coatesville (1908)

Thanks CW! That is a great question....

Chances of rain will continue each and every day this week. The least chances are today and during the day tomorrow. Best rain chances are Thursday with Wednesday being the warmest day with temps in the 80's. Chester County records for today: High 94 degrees at Phoenixville (1930) / Low 28 degrees at Devault 1W (1954) / Rain 2.90" in Honey Brook (1989)

We are up to 0.63" of rain today for a 2 day total of 0.87". We are at the high so far today at 55.3 degrees

Just calming facts over climate alarmists and doomers.....it does thought make them upset!

LOL!! I am far from a climate change denier. In fact forkyfork I am a climate change embracer!!!! Now the fact that this climate change is simply typical cyclical climate change is where we differ. But I would love to debate you since you sound like a climate alarmist and I enjoy showing the facts that all that has happened has of course happened before which clearly gets you fired up!!

Actual climate impact forecasts continue to fall far short on actual verification....

Actual un-adjusted facts over feelings....

Charlie I thought I would go back and run both your Phoenixville site against the other site with continuous data for the period 1893 to 2016 - West Chester. Without those chilling tweaks made to the actual data. We again see nothing alarming here at all. West Chester is mighty flat....Phoenixville with some typical warm vs cold cycles also not very scary at all!

Thanks Charlie!!! 6 of the 10 warmest Aprils are prior to 1985.....and 5 of the 10 starts are before 2000. As always nothing to support climate alarmism.

Chilly weekend ahead with some showers temps will struggle to escape the 50's in most spots. Shower chances look to continue for much of the week ahead.

The front has moved through the area and temps today will be about 15 degrees cooler than yesterday with highs near normal in the upper 60's. We turn colder than normal for the weekend with high temps struggling to escape the mid 50's for higher spots and upper 50's in lower locales. It will be cloudy with some showers possible most likely on Sunday into Sunday night. We warm back up again by the middle of next week before we cool back down for the week of the 12th with a stretch of below normal readings.

Here in Chester County PA we finished April with an overall average temperature of 53.8 across the 15 Airport and MADIS stations which is 2.0 degrees above the long term 132 year average. The warmest spot was as is usually the case Phoenixville as the lowest observation spot in the county at 54.9 degrees. The coolest was the 53.0 in Warwick Township. Overall this was our 28th warmest April on record across 132 years of observation data. Of note 13 of the top 20 warmest Aprils occurred prior to 1990. While 3 of the coldest Aprils have all occurred just since 2007. Below is a graph analyzing the April temp trends (actual in blue) since 1893. I have also as always overlaid the NCEI adjusted temps (in red). As we can see they again consistently applied chilling adjustments to cool the data for every year over 110 consecutive years from 1895 thru 2005. Of interest since 2005 they have now begun to apply warming adjustments to the actual data in 12 of the last 18 years. The appropriate trend lines reflect the clear impact these post hoc adjustments have made to the warming trend lines.

We are off to a 1.6 degree cooler start to 2024 (42.6 degrees) compared to last year across the 15 Chester County reporting sites. However while cooler than last year we are at the 9th warmest first 4 months on record since 1893. The Top 8 warmest are 1998 - 44.24 2023 - 44.22 1990 - 44.0 2012 - 43.7 1913 - 43.1 2017 - 43.1 1949 - 42.8 2002 - 42.8

High here in East Nantmeal was 84.8 - no Airport or MADIS locales here in Chester County PA have hit 90 today. Highest obs was the 87.8 at KOQN airport in West Chester As always 90's are certainly much tougher to find out here in the Western philly burbs
