Wow - I saw an article earlier about it and it was originally expected for the usual places viewable when there is a geomagnetic storm - Canada and far northern U.S. There has been some CAA clouds drifting in and out so it wouldn't surprise me if some layer of "blocking clouds" ends up killing that idea down this way. And even then, we would be at the southern fringe so need some dark sky location.

Nice, but not enough for Berks County to rescind their outdoor burn ban. Hope it lifts by the end of May at least because my wife and I were planning some evening firepit campfires the week of our anniversary. Still active? I did a couple BBQ's and a fire pit. I see Berks has restrictions for now...I don't think it will last for much longer. 49F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 It looks like we see below normal temperatures to over the next week to finish out the month of April. Normal highs are in the mid to upper 60's. There could be some patchy frost across lower spots in the county over the next 2 nights. There is a slight chance of showers on Wed night...but a dry work week before rain chances increase for next weekend. Records for today: High 90 (1960) / Low 26 (1931) / Rain 2.40" (1968) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeymac5306 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Looking like a super soaker event Beginning Thursday. *sigh* We usually spend the weekend camping for the race in Dover. We cancelled this year after looking at the forecast. Was not looking forward to rain, wind and 50 degrees for 4 days straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any coastal on the long- or medium-range models would morph into nothing more than a lakes cutter with a trailing frontal passage for us.

Newman Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Also, we recorded about 7.5" of snow in Fleetwood this winter. Which somehow beat out three winters ago, 2019-2020, when we only got 7.1". Millersville only received 0.9" of snow this winter, absolutely destroying the old record of around 4.5". You almost can't believe to receive that little snow in a winter, but somehow we did.

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Bottomed out at 41 here this morning and the dp has definitely tanked since the weekend. I had popped out before 5 am this morning and you could see the stars pretty clearly. However you could also see a very high hazy deck of cirrus as well so don't know how much if any of an aurora might have been viewable down this far. Currently a mostly sunny 58, with a few scattered cumulus, and a dp of 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're under a burn ban here in Berks, hoping it lifts by the end of the month since my wife and I would like to have a back yard campfire for our anniversary (we've spent a majority of our anniversaries camping). Really enjoying this cooler respite though. Got down to 32 and change last night and have another frost warning tonight, currently 36.6°F which is (yet again!) ~5°F lower than my local forecast. Have lots of seedlings already planted in the veggie garden, am slightly worried about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
