Mount Joy Snowman Posted yesterday at 01:51 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:51 PM MDT's April 21st record low of 30, set in 1956, is in play. I certainly think a number of unofficial stations will easily get into the 20s, question is whether the "river station" can. I have my doubts.

ChescoWx Posted yesterday at 03:09 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:09 PM A Freeze Warning is in effect tonight through 9am tomorrow morning. Be sure to protect any tender plants by late tonight. In my 22 years here the average date of my last freeze has been April 10th. Valley locations across the area have averaged later last freeze dates. High temperatures today will be almost 20 degrees below normal temperatures in the 40's. We start a warming trend through the rest of the work week before chilling down and turning wet for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight's the real deal and a very concerning situation for local fruit farmers. Any amount of time at or below 28°F will be catastrophic to local fruit farming. Cherry and apple fruitlets have already developed. Fruitlets go from alive and well at 29°F to complete cellular damage and abortion at 28°F. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need those to work out to really drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took an extra day off today to recover from our trip and I was reading reports of graupel and even snow down in the DMV. Shortly thereafter a little shower rolled through here. It couldn't have lasted 2 minutes but it came down heavy for about a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve experienced them quite a few times over the years, almost always this time of year. They are fun little events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted 12 hours ago Author Share Posted 12 hours ago 25 here at the house, but looking at PWS's nearby, the coldest in the immediate region is down in the Lizard Creek valley near Andreas and my company HQ. There a station is recording 19 currently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago It looks like MDT will indeed break its daily low record of 30 by bottoming out at 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago We had a widespread hard freeze (sub 28 degree) this morning with the latest sub-30-degree temperature I have ever recorded (records back to 2004) here in East Nantmeal with a low of 27.4. In looking back at records for the higher elevation spots (+600 ft ASL) of Chester County this appears to be the latest reading in the 20's in 37 years since the 27-degree reading at Coatesville 2W on April 24, 1989. Both KMQS Coatesville Airport and the Longwood Gardens DEOS station with 18 years of records also recorded their latest sub 30 degree reading this morning. In addition, many of our shorter-term stations with 15 years of records also set a record for latest hard freeze including DEOS stations in Atglen, Devault, Glenmoore, Kennett Square, Warwick, West Chester and West Grove. We stay unseasonable chilly through tomorrow with highs by tomorrow warming to near 60 degrees. We should see above normal temperatures by Thursday before we fall back below normal for the weekend. We have some light shower chances tomorrow morning with a better chance at more significant rains by Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
