First time since October I don't see an arctic airmass moving southeast in the long range. Seriously.

I think there's an outside shot we hit 90 next week if things progress as progged

Next Wednesday looks like it may be the day. I don't think the burbs but Philly maybe?

60F

Another big swing in temps coming up....I'll take rain and 50s any day.

39F at 1:30am...thinking 35-ish will be the low.

Today will be our first above normal temperature day since Easter Sunday. We should see some sun later today with temperatures well into the 60's. We chill back to normal temperatures over the weekend with highs in the low 60's before a big warmup next week. The warmest day here in Chester County looks to be Wednesday with highs in the low to mid 80's (1st 90+ possible near the Philly heat island area) Temperatures start to cool a bit later next week. Sadly, no rain in the forecast at all!

CMC is in the low to mid 90's for the city and surrounding burbs  Euro keeps the 90's towards DC and only gets us up to the upper 80's. GFS says no one on the east coast hits 90.

I'm with drought guy @Albedoman though growing a bit concerned about the lack of rain in the forecast. April is typically one of our wettest months and the long range looks mostly warm and dry outside of a few brief frontal passages. No mud season this year.
