Today should be almost 10 degrees warmer than yesterday...but still a few degrees below normal for mid-November with highs in the upper 40's to around 50 degrees. Temperatures look to stay near to below normal through Saturday before we briefly warm to above normal Sunday before falling back below normal to start the new work week. Our next rain chance looks to arrive Saturday night into Sunday.

I have continued to update the Chester County Weather website and have now completed and added a listing of the largest Chester County snowstorms across the 7 months of the year - October through April that we have recorded snow events. https://chescowx.com/top-snowfalls-by-month/ this includes the 2nd largest snowstorm in County history that occurred in March 1958 when between 19" to as much as 50" of snow fell across Chester and SE Berks Counties. See below.

Climate factoid of the day. Someone posted last week that it seems like it never snows before Christmas here in Chester County. So, I went back and looked to see how often we have not recorded any measurable snow by Christmas Day. The data shows we actually have seen measurable snow 92% of the time before Christmas. There have only been 11 years across 132 years of record that no station in the county recorded measurable (more than a trace) of snow. Those years were 1899 / 1918/ 1956 / 1965 / 1974 / 1991 / 1999 / 2001 / 2006 / 2015 and 2021.
