Best storm in years.  Torrential rains, high winds, tons of lightning.  What a ride!!  

Reminded me a lot of 6/16/2023 (another Friday): 

Remind me next time the 16th of a month falls of a Friday and there's a chance for rain in the forecast, to bring my own lunch to work.

Today through Tuesday look like great weather. Temperatures will be a couple of degrees below normal today with highs not too far from 70 degrees. We fall below normal with temperatures in the 60's on Tuesday and continue to fall into the unseasonably chilly low to mid 50's for high temperatures by Wednesday and Thursday. These readings will be at least 20 degrees below normal for late May! Rain chances will also increase by Wednesday morning with some spots picking up an inch of rain by Thursday night. We dry out a bit toward Memorial Day weekend but will remain chilly with temperatures likely to still be 10 degrees or so below normal.

Great weather continues both today and tomorrow before we turn increasingly chilly and wet for much of the rest of the week. We will be only a few degrees below normal today with highs near 70 degrees....but by Wednesday and Thursday I suspect some of the higher ridge locales across the area may not escape the very chilly 40's to near 50 degrees. This is more than 20 degrees below normal for late May. A nice soaking rain will arrive by Wednesday morning and last into the weekend. The heaviest rain should be Wednesday into Thursday. Model output shows between 1.5" to as much as 3 inches of rain for some spots as any drought concerns have been erased over the last 2 months.

One nice last day today before we see a wet and unseasonably chilly few days as we head toward the Memorial Day Weekend. Today's high temperatures will be around 5 degrees below normal but by tomorrow we could be more than 20 degrees below seasonable levels for late May with temperatures staying in the low 50's. The rain begins just after rush hour tomorrow morning and many areas will see at least an inch of rain by Thursday night. Most places with this next rain event will move to above normal rainfall for the year to date. We can see some showers continuing at times both Friday and Saturday but generally a drying trend. We finally see the sun back by Sunday with temperatures while warmer still well below normal with highs in the mid to upper 60's. Memorial Day looks sunny and a cooler than normal with temperatures approaching 70 degrees.

An ugly couple of unseasonably chilly and wet days ahead of us. Both today and tomorrow will feature rain and temps not too far from the low 50's....tomorrow some higher spots may actually struggle to escape the 40's! We should see around a half inch of rain today and about the same tomorrow. We start to dry out a bit by Friday PM and we start The Memorial Day weekend with sunny skies but with a continued unseasonable chill in the air. Temperatures look to remain below normal for at least the next week.image.png.ac4a412c3fb9682c7ee3de05679cc98a.pngimage.thumb.png.2b9f3c7acc49393fad9078fc72442c37.png

Quite the weather record today as temperatures here across Chester and Berks counties have slowly fallen all day after an overnight low in the low to mid 50's. Today is the coldest maximum temperature on May 21st in 116 years across Chester County History. This is only the 2nd time since 1893 that our maximum high temperature remained in the 50's on today's date. The old record was the 50.0 degree high today recorded at West Chester in 1909.

Thank the gods we can still get record cold crap days in the best month of the year while the rest of the year/world warms inexorably onward

What's old is new and that old cyclical climate change is no doubt coming back around for future generations to enjoy!! Can the cold of the 1970's be far behind us??

You'd better hope so.    Here's some real data about our current "cycle".   https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/ice-sheets/?intent=121     Read it and weep.
