    With any chance of 90 degree days behind us - below is an updated analysis of 90+ days over the last 20 years comparing the PHL Airport vs. the NWS COOP sites in Chester County. Here in East Nantmeal we finished with no 90+ days for the 4th time in the last 20 years. This was true for both of my ground based stations...although my rooftop station (poorly sited) did record 6 such days. Of note all locations experienced less 90+ days during the last 10 years than the previous 10. Of course the PHL Airport continues to average more with their heat island problems.

    For those with the Eagles as their #1 interest but with my family it's always been Phillies 1 and Eagles 2....love Sunday football!! Just not enough games compared to the nearly daily fix of baseball for me!!

    Today may very well be our warmest day until next spring. Most spots will see high temperatures well into the 70's. However, it will not be close to the record high for today which is 84 degrees set way back in 1919. A cold front crosses the area tonight and it will feel much cooler by later tonight but with low temps still almost 10 degrees above normal at near 50 degrees. Tomorrow will be a much different day with showers around a cool east wind and temps remaining nearly steady in the mid-50's across most of the county. Shower chances continue through Monday. Even chillier air moves in by Monday night with highs through Thursday remaining in the 40's during the day. It looks likely the growing season will end across Chester County by as early as Wednesday morning but more likely by Thursday morning with lows in the upper 20's. Some lower spots in the County have already seen freezing temps this fall but this week will see a widespread freeze. Records for today: High 84 (1919) / Low 17 (1936) / Rain 1.60" (1902)

    Today should be several degrees warmer than yesterday with the warmth peaking by Saturday. At least for Chester County any record highs look beyond reach as those records are in the low 80's. Cooler air spreads into the area by Monday with temps falling to well below normal again by next week. We may see higher spots by next Wednesday struggling to get out of the low 40's with our first widespread freeze potential increasing by that time...so enjoy the warmth the next few days! Records for today: High 79 (1963) / Low 24 (1950) / Rain 2.35" (1943)

    You could see Kimbrel wearing down...just can't believe Topper went back to the well with him on Friday night! Still a great year...they may go down as one of the most liked teams in Philly history across all sports! Now if they can mix in a Championship over the next couple years that would seal the deal! Folks are hurting this week...but I suspect by March folks will be ready for some baseball!!!

    Sad day for sure for this long time Phillies Phan! but the beauty of the game is hope will spring eternal come March! Thank you Phils for a great year!! Back to weather - 13 of the last 17 days have featured below normal temperatures including yesterday. That all changes starting today and lasting through Sunday with our high temps reaching the 70's before a turn to much colder in time for Halloween. With the exception of some possible morning fog with the longer nights and mild readings...we look to stay dry till at least Sunday. Records for today: High 80 (1900) / Low 22 (1952) / Rain 2.31" (1980) 13 of the last 17 days have featured below normal temperatures including yesterday.

    Most spots across Chester County below 500ft ASL saw frost and even several reports of sub-freezing temps. Of course here in East Nantmeal and other relatively higher spots we could do no lower than 38.7. However, it was our first reading in the 30's since back on May 18th when we bottomed out at 35.9. The rest of this week will feature well above normal temps in the mid 70's....while warm it will not be close to record levels which range between 79 and 84 for the remainder of October. A quick turn to much colder weather looks increasingly likely as we reach the start of November. Records for today: High 84 (1900) / Low 23 (1969) / Rain 2.03" (1917) Go Phillies!!! I DO need a new avatar!!!

    A beautiful weather week ahead with a possible frosty start for some spots tomorrow morning before a solid warming trend could see many spots reaching the low 70's by Thursday. The warm weather should continue through the weekend before turning much colder to close out the month as we move into November. Records for today: High 85 (1947) / Low 22 (1969) / Rain 2.81" (1912)

    Below is a analysis of our first freezes by decade here in Chester County from the 1890's to 2020's. The average first freeze date is October 24th since the move to over 650ft ASL and it was October 14th at the relatively lower elevations ~400 ft ASL prior to 1983. Looking ahead it appears our first chance at a below freezing day at least in the higher spots will be during the first few days of November. Although, we might see some frost in lower spots by Tuesday AM.

    Well below normal temps today with a chilly wind but a gradual warmup which may lead to near 70 degree readings by the end of this week. Could be a bit of patchy frost in the lower spots of the county by Tuesday morning. Looks likely we see a sharp turn to colder in time for Halloween. Records for today: High 84 (1979) / Low 22 (1940) / Rain 2.12" (1956)

    Not much rain from our latest event...only 0.06" here in East Nantmeal but it looks like almost a 1/2 inch of rain fell in some spots including Exton. Temps will struggle today to get above 60 degrees. We will see below normal temps through Tuesday before some above normal readings by the end of the week. Lows on Monday night will be in the 30's with some patchy frost possible in some of the lower spots. Records for today: High 85 (1947) / Low 19 (1922) / Rain 3.13" (1904)

    A mild cloudy day ahead for Chester County today we should see highs in the above normal mid to upper 60's. Rain looks to stay to our east this AM with rain chances increasing after 5pm tonight. Drying out tomorrow and windy and chilly on both Sunday and Monday with temps remaining below normal from tomorrow through Tuesday. Above normal temps return by Tuesday and we should stay warm through the end of next week. Records for today: High 82 (1969) / Low 21 (1972) / Rain 2.48" (1988)
