Outside of a few early turners, nearly all the trees are still summer green. The anomaly lover in me wants to see how long it would hold, or would the lack of sunlight/photosynthesis turn them regardless of the summer-like temps. Most plants are aborting at this point because of low moisture in the rhizospher. You need a shorter day than where we're at at this point to trigger etiolation in most plants and trees. However, auxins and other hormones are tied to photo period length and temperature. If the cooler temperatures don't cause abscission, first the shorter photo period eventually will.

ChescoWx Posted yesterday at 12:20 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 12:20 PM Quite the spread in low temperatures across the area this morning. While many lower spots like Warwick Township saw temperatures in the mid 40’s (44.2) other ridge locations like down in West Grove almost stayed above 60 degrees (59.7) Today could be one of our last days until next spring to see temperature approach the 80-degree mark. We cool a few degrees tomorrow and then with some needed rain and a cold front passage on Tuesday night we will see temperatures on Wednesday remaining in the 60’s and by Thursday some spots may barely escape from the 50’s for high temperatures. Low temperatures by Friday morning should be in the 30’s for much of the area with even a touch of frost for some of typically colder valley locations. Rainfall amounts by Wednesday morning could be between 0.50” and 1.00” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering myself why they opened the season so far up in the rankings. Outta the top 25 is not surprising...... now watch em beat OSU in a couple weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not being fired - they can’t afford it. I know many wanted him gone for years now. I'm not sure thats warranted, but I'm guessing he now knows its time to change some things before he gets walkin papers. Not sure he can do it, but we'll find out soon enough.

I'm ready for a cool rainy weekend, so that I can enjoy some non chore time (just got my list pretty much cleaned up yesterday). Bring it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago 62 when I left the house. Some much needed rain tonight followed by a stretch of seasonably cool weather. Onward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago Today will be our last mild day before a strong cold front crosses from west to east starting later this evening. We should see a general 0.50" to 1.00" of rain before the rain ends tomorrow morning. The big news following the cold front will be sharply chillier temperatures arriving tomorrow afternoon and the potential for an unseasonably early frost or even a freeze by Friday morning. I will post the historical earliest, latest and average freeze dates for all available stations across the county in a separate post. Highs on Thursday look to remain in the 50's especially in the higher spots of the county. The unseasonable chill looks to continue through the upcoming weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted 51 minutes ago Author Share Posted 51 minutes ago I suspect the National Weather Service may post some frost and freeze advisories for Thursday night into Friday morning. Below is the history of freezes (sub-32 degree) readings across 31 individual stations across the area. Overall the county sees it's first freeze on October 25th. However, some lower elevation stations as you can see below average their first freeze as early as October 14th while other stations with a bit more elevation may not typically see their first freeze till as late as November 9th. This will also be available on the website at www.chescowx.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted 10 minutes ago Share Posted 10 minutes ago Wait a minute, you’re referring to a potential frost/freeze on October 10th as “unseasonably early” when it’s only a handful of days early for many of these locations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
