ChescoWx Posted Tuesday at 12:54 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:54 PM Well above normal temperatures continue through Saturday before we see another pattern change to normal to below average temperatures lasting through much of the rest of the month. The warmest day looks like Wednesday with highs in the mid to upper 80's. Shower chances increase Friday night and especially Saturday night into Sunday with the cold front. Temperatures by next Monday may struggle to escape the mid-50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted yesterday at 12:39 PM Share Posted yesterday at 12:39 PM We picked up between 0.03" to 0.25" of rain with more across southern areas. Today will be our warmest day of the week and the year so far with temperatures reaching the middle to upper 80's. The record County high for today is 89 degrees set back in 1941 (Phoenixville) and 1896 (Kennett Square). Still unseasonable warm tomorrow through Saturday. We chill back to below normal by Monday and temperatures in some of the higher spots may struggle to escape the unseasonably cold 40's in the afternoon. There will also be a potential for a frost or freeze by Tuesday morning. Below normal temperatures appear increasingly likely for the remainder of April. Best chances of some much-needed rain looks to be Friday with better chances with the cold front on Sunday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted yesterday at 01:20 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:20 PM Looks like 4 more days of 80F+, 60s Sunday and 50s for the highs early next week. I'm definitely less productive/lazy the warmer it becomes... 72F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago When was the last time we hit 90 in April? @ChescoWx or @PhiEaglesfan712 you guys usually have this info. I know it's not super uncommon, just feels like it's been awhile since we've had legit heat like this so early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBasile Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Just checked my weather station going back 15 years and there were no 90F days in April over that time. Got close on April 29, 2024 where it recorded 89.4F. Currently sitting at 85F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeymac5306 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago April 15th and I had to turn on the AC. It was pretty nasty yesterday. I will always remember 2002 for that heat. It started in April and didn't end till September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike 2002, it never got that hot again in many places, especially in New England. That year turned cold early, as October 1976-January 1977 was record cold. This year is the 50th anniversary of that Easter/Patriot Weekend heat wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't turned on the AC yet, but think I test it out today. Best to find out now if there are any issues instead of waiting until the real heat settles in.

Here in Chester County so far no climate stations have touched 90 this month. The last time we hit 90 in the month of April in Chesco was April 7, 2010 when it hit 91 at Phoenixville 1E. The earliest 90+ day in County history was way back on March 22, 1948 with a 90 at Phoenixville 1E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Today will be our last day with temperatures in the 80’s with highs in some valley spots getting within a couple degrees of 90. We fall back into the 70’s tomorrow and Saturday before we fall back below normal by Sunday through next Tuesday. Some shower chances later tomorrow and a better chance on Saturday night. We could have some freeze or frost concerns by Monday night into Tuesday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted 10 minutes ago Share Posted 10 minutes ago 83F at just before 11am. Projected high is 89F but I think I'll hit 90F. Last of the heat then we cool down little by little. Mon looks super chill... struggling to hit 50/low 50s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
