Of course but not for the counties in the southern areas of the thread area...my thoughts were clearly all about Chester County PA as I very clearly always state! I am not commenting for those folks further to the West or North of Chesco...and never do. The area covered by this thread is too large and variable to make a blanket statement which I don't.

Threat for any damaging or tornadic stronger storms will be near to north of I-80. The modeled line clearly weakens as it moves SE between I-80 and I-78. South of I-78 here in Chester County the storms or what's left of them will be showers at most.

Those numbers sure don't sound like consensus.....majority is far far from consensus! "Consensus is invoked only in situations where the science is not solid enough. Nobody says the consensus is the sun is 93 million miles away. It would never occur to anyone to speak that way"Michael Crichton

Some great weather over the next few days although with the winds today might be a bit tough on some allergy sufferers. Looks like shower chances return by Wednesday and could last through the rest of the week! Our wet year continues! Chester County Records for today: High 91 degrees Phoenixville (1941) / Low 21 degrees West Chester (1940) / Rain 2.28" Coatesville (1970) / Snow 2.5" Coatesville (1923)

The fake news that the "science is settled" or the equally fake "90%+ consensus of scientists agree” from Lynas et al. (2021) was accomplished by pure selective math. To get that 90% plus "consensus" required dismissing over 68% of the studies reviewed. The real numbers paint a different story. Of the total 2,718 randomly-selected papers examined 1,869 (68.8%) expressed no position on human-caused climate change. However there were 849 of them did, and 845 indeed endorsed it. The 90%+ math comes from dividing 845 by 849, and ignoring the 1,869 other scientific studies that expressed absolutely no opinion. The true math actually comes out to closer to 30% ....30% is of course quite far from consensus.

0.24" of rain so far since yesterday here in East Nantmeal. Might see another 0.25" or more if any thunderstorms pop up. Shower chances finally go away by Saturday PM and after a chilly Saturday we should see a nice warming trend get underway by Sunday and carry us into next week. Chester County records for today: High 90 degrees Devault (1977) / Low 18 degrees Phoenixville (1921) / Rain 2.29" Kennett Square (1913) / Snow 3.0" Devault (1959)

Across much of the county we are off to the chilliest start to April since 2013. 17 of our last 21 days have been colder than normal. Today should be the last below normal day with the warmest day coming Tuesday with highs in the low 70's. Tomorrow is forecast to be mostly sunny for eclipse viewing however it looks like we may start to see some increasing clouds that could mute viewing (with appropriate eye wear) Shower chances increase again from Tuesday night through Friday. County wide records for today: High 92 degrees Phoenixville (1929) / Low 14 degrees West Chester (1982) / Rain 2.00" Marshallton (2022) / Snow 5.0" Kennett Square (1916)

Let's go back even further Charlie! The Earth is essentially at its coolest point in the last 65 million years, but climate alarmist love to tell us the planet is “too hot” because temperatures are 1.2°C warmer than they were in 1850, the tail end of the Little Ice Age!!

We are told by alarmists that warming of the climate is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events. One key measure of this used by climate models is the annual maximum 1 and 5-day maximum precipitation amounts (Rx1day and Rx5day, respectively). The results below indicate that while both the Rx1day and Rx5day have increased across the US since 1960....of course if we choose to go back far enough, rainfall extremes were higher than recent decades between 1901 and 1930 across both measures. Funny how weather history if we go back far enough....shows us all that is happening now has indeed occurred before. No climate emergency at all to see here!
