Looking more and more like we bake the second half of summer. Took my kid to the amusement park yesterday and had to walk over the water park to get there and it was hot and miserable yesterday and the water park was closed. 

 

Going to be cool and gray next week when it opens because of course it will lol

A hot start to the week with our warmest day tomorrow before a sharp chill down by Memorial Day weekend. Many valley locations could touch 90 degrees both today and for sure tomorrow. Some higher ridges may fall a bit short of 90 both days. By Thursday temperatures should be at least 20 degrees cooler than Wednesday. In fact, while the current NWS forecast has highs in the mid 60's both Friday and Saturday I suspect much of Chester County will struggle to get out of the chilly 50's both Friday and Saturday. Shower chances increase on Wednesday with shower chances continuing through the weekend.

Below is an analysis of when our daily climate records have occurred here in Chester County PA. Temperature, Precipitation and Snow daily records. Of note the decades of the 1930's through the 1950's accounted for 39% of our record high temperature records. The most daily record highs were recorded during the 1940's. The decades of the 1970's through 1990's recorded 40% of all of our daily record low temperatures across the county. With the 1980's recording the most daily record low temperatures. Precipitation wise the 2010's saw the most daily record precipitation records while the 1960's saw the greatest number of daily snow records.

87 was the high here at 2075' at my location in the Poconos.

Mt. Pocono reported 88 for a high at 1800'.

This is one of the reasons I love living on the Pocono Plateau. It takes a very hot airmass and record ridge, to typically spike 90 here. Very seldom have I seen 90 or greater.

In other news, absolutely incredible; the heat of today and tomorrow vs. this coming weekend's forecast. Binghamton Nws calling for highs in the 50's and rain up here. Talk about shock factor! The roller coaster continues..

A well earned high at that!

Indeed...

But...it's hard to get excited about the summer like weather when the forecast high for Saturday drops all the way down to 58 with mid 40's lows again.

Montourville recorded a high of 94 yesterday. “Airport NWS”

Didn't break  a record…record 95 degrees set 1962.

Garden view where I live, we had 95-96 depending what thermometers I go off of.

We also had a lot of thunder and lightning in the area from 10:30 pm to 1:30 pm. One heck of a lightning storm, but very little rain.   
rainfall total for me .02” someone got hit?

Today will be the hottest day of our brief warm up with today reaching the 90's in all areas - maybe even in the higher spots like here in East Nantmeal. This will however be nowhere close to record levels with the mid to upper 90’s record heat for this date set way back in 1962 remaining safe. Tomorrow will be several degrees cooler and may not reach 90 in all areas. Rain chances will be ramping up with an approaching cold front tomorrow later in the day and will continue through Sunday. Some models are hinting at some of the most beneficial rains we have had in quite some time. We turn chillier than normal for the Memorial Day weekend with highs likely to remain in the 50's to near 60 degrees both Friday and Saturday. The area farmers and green thumbs have their fingers crossed even if it could impact some holiday plans.
