E PA/NJ/DE Spring 2026 Obs/Discussion

The Devault DEOS station recorded a high of 90.7 yesterday this is the first 90 degree reading at any County station so far this year. None of the other stations reached 90 but upper 80's were common across the valley locations. Today should be 10 to 12 degrees cooler with highs in the mid to upper 70's. This is still 10+ degrees above normal levels. We chill well below normal by Sunday with highs remaining in the low to mid 50's with shower chances increasing. A freeze remains a possibility by Tuesday morning.

Today will be our last above normal day though Wednesday. Today’s temperature will approach 70 degrees especially the further west you go. Tomorrow temperatures will struggle to escape the lower 50's. We should see some showers along the cold front during the morning tomorrow with between 0.10" to 0.40" of rain possible. By Monday temperatures in the higher spots will likely stay in the 40's with a freeze likely Monday night into Tuesday morning. We start to moderate with temperatures back to several degrees above normal in the low 70's by Friday.

If it's going to get warmer this is ideal...

For those folks down the shore - the chilly ocean water temps working their unfortunate magic for folks down in Sea Isle City NJ for Girl's weekend....highs in SIC have not moved much from around 50 degrees all day. The beauty of coastal climes in the Northeast US in spring! Can hardly see through the fog and marine shank!

59F at 7:40pm, nice....time to whip out the flannel.

Feeling like Fall ....53F and a decent breeze.

Freeze warning:

[Albedoman]

well, at this point, I will take any rain that falls today. We are in trouble folks as the gulf moisture is getting sucked away from these back door cold fronts and the timing is god awful. Where are the stationary fronts with  the shortwaves riding the front and us being on the warm side of the front days?

Winds gusting into the 20's.  53F

A much chillier day underway with showers across the area. We have already picked up 0.12" here in East Nantmeal with a little more on the way with shower chances continuing till about noon. Today’s temperatures will run about 20 degrees colder than normal with highs struggling to escape the 40's. Unseasonable cold tomorrow with highs again in the 40's. A freeze watch starts tomorrow night at midnight with lows by Tuesday morning in the low to mid 20's in the colder valley locations. We start a slow warming trend that lasts through the week with temperatures by Thursday near 70 degrees.

If looking to stay away from that summer like heat from this week....the ensemble models keep us below normal into May.
