Looks like another crap Saturday on tap with sun and warm junk. Tomorrow should be better.

It's been like this since about March 8, a coast-to-coast torch.

Not understanding how showers ripping northeast with a backdoor front ripping southwest is going to happen but im looking right at it on guidance

The back door front came through. After a high of 80F I’m now down to 67F.

From sweating and hot, to feeling chilly just now. Crazy.

I am starting to get concerned about precip right now again. We were essentially screwed out of some decent chances of rain the last few days and we really need it. The stream base flows are barely at normal in our local streams but the big issue is that little to no ground water recharge has taken place. These numerous back door cold fronts are dryer than a popcorn fart. Yes it is great to be 80 degrees the last two days but no decent rain events with the back door cold front is very troubling. This begs the question- where in the hell is all of the gulf moisture?  The farmers are worried as if this pattern keeps up, they will be turning their fields in the next few weeks with a giant cloud of dust.  Also, if you planted annuals the last few days, they will be destroyed with the frost/freeze on Wednesday morning with lows getting near 22 degrees here in the LV. Never plant annuals until after April 15 in our area.

Winds turn around to the south between 6a-8a and we should see some steady rain then. Yeah, wicked back door front.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate!

Many lower elevation spots reached the lower 80's yesterday. While higher spots remained below 80 degrees, we did set a record high for my East Nantmeal station yesterday breaking the old record from 2011 by almost 5 degrees. However, the Chester County record from 1963 of 84 degrees at West Grove was not reached by any of the record stations across the County. With our backdoor cold front temperatures have fallen below forecasted levels to well down into the 40's across the area. We may struggle to get much above 60 degrees today. We turn much chillier tonight with well below normal temperatures through Wednesday. There is the potential of a hard freeze by Wednesday morning. Shower chances are around today but dry for much of the upcoming work week.
