Rtd208 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Picked up 0.70" of rain for the day. Current temp 62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share Posted May 21, 2022 Have the expected fog this morning although with vis < 1/4 mile, so right around the "dense fog" category. I know that as soon as this lifts (and literally as I type this, it appears to be starting to get brighter), and the sun comes out, look out! Currently a foggy and misty 67 with dp 67.

Birds~69 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 The DP is high (69F) but I thought the temp would be upper 70s by this time (9:30am) but only at 69F and it's sunny. Turning on A/C on hold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Not that I was going but got an email from the township that Towamencin Day is canceled because Fischer’s Park is waterlogged from yesterday’s rain. That doesn’t bode well for any mowing plans I had today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 The NWS has a forecast high today of 92 degrees...WXSIM says 88 here along the peaks of the Welsh Mountain. The record high for today is the 95 degree reading back in 1934. Our record low is 34 from 2002. Record rainfall is 3.55" in 1894 for a 2 day total of 8.44" of rain- Below I have attached the handwritten observations of that very rainy stretch from the Coatesville Weather observer WT Gordon from May 1894.

ChescoWx Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Of note we have not had a 90+ day in May since May 3, 2018. In that year we ended with 4 days above 90 that summer. The last time we had earlier 90+ temps (April/May) was on April 26 and 27, 2009. In that summer we never again saw a 90+ day as those 2 were the only times we were able to crack 90 that year and 1 day was 89.5. Before that our last 90 in May was on May 4, 2001.

You realize you made me go deep down a rabbit hole a few months ago regarding that guy and who I believe he is, resulting in some interesting info (based on census data and township historical docs) but that will be for another day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds~69 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Right on the fringe of 90F....DP is a mess at 71F. Two weeks ago, a good Vegas proposition/odds for my area would have been: North Wales hits 90F first or gas hits $5.00 first (we know the answer now, gas at $4.85 and i'll hit 90F+ today) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goal is by mid-afternoon, come in and turn it on for the first time while jumping, hopping or skipping into a cool shower. Then when I get out it's like a wind chill effect. Grab a beer, plant my ass in the recliner and watch the final holes of the 3 round PGA Championship. Dinner, not sure? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Let me go through and gather what I saved in my "electronic folder" on who I believe is him (including some screenshots of stuff). Was debating where to stick it since I am trying to avoid the trolling threads where his name came up, so may want to stick it in one of your other threads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Can we touch 90 here in NW Chesco? My VP is at 86.0 - the rooftop Tempest is at 88.0 and my Ambient station is at 85.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Paul Posted at the link. And I briefly hit 94 for a high so far but am currently at 93 with dp 70. I did venture out to put my patio umbrella up and it's the good old-fashioned blast furnace of last year out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
