Another near normal temperature day today with highs around 60 degrees before we see much warmer weather moving in tomorrow and lasting much of the upcoming work week. The warmest day looks to be Wednesday with highs in the middle 80's. We have a slight chance of some showers both tomorrow night and again on Wednesday night.

country roads, take me home 

That seems like a road perfect for experiencing a NDE storm chasing

A E3 tornado went up that road 4 years ago about 1/4 mile down from where this pic was taken.

I have everyone complaining how cold I have the house this morning but I call it prepping for this week. The ac goes on the minute the sun breaks out today. I currently have ambient temperature at 61 degrees inside

54 degrees and it looks like a few rain showers today.

JNS if the house is 61 you shouldn’t need the air for a few days.

I got a split installed in my bedroom. Definitely was a good move.

I don't see any reason imo why you'd need it any warmer then that. It's April and it's not even remotely cold outside. I have my thermostat set at 63. On days like these I have to open up the windows when it gets above 63 so I can warm the house up.

I just want to get it as cold as possible going into this monstrosity. Our Average high the past 25 years this week is 65 degrees which appears to be our low temperature this week

Low of 51.  Had our first fire pit of the season last night.  Now comes the heat.

We start our major warm up today with temperatures reaching well into the 70's. We warm into the 80's on Tuesday with our warmest days both Wednesday and Thursday. While places along the I95 corridor could see record highs in the 90's it looks like we should stay in the middle 80's here in Chester County. Our Chester County record high for Wednesday is 89 degrees set in Phoenixville way back in 1941. Thursday's record high is 92 degrees set at multiple county stations back in 1896 and 2002. We have a slight chance of showers this afternoon and again on Wednesday night, but our best chance of any showers looks to arrive on Saturday night.
