Amazing storm in Bend today. Over .5-.75” across a lot of town. Near quarter size hail, tons of CG, and even hail fog. Going on almost two hours of hearing thunder.
I thought the rain had ended last evening, but more showers (a narrow band) popped up and trained over my area. Ended up with 2.28" total rainfall yesterday. The evening showers actually had the highest rain rates of the day. It's getting soggy, and the local river is actually flooding a little for the first time in probably a couple years!
Models are not in agreement on timing but another 3 day severe weather outbreak looks likely across the country next week and sharp cool down to follow as we go into Mother's Day weekend.
The official H/L yesterday was 76/47 there was 0.17” of rain fall. The highest wind gust was 36 MPH out of the S the sun was out 54% of the time. For today the average H/L is 65/44 the record high of 87 was set in 1938 and 1955. The record low of 26 was set in 1971 and the most rain fall of 2.03” was in 1919. The most snowfall of 1.3” fell in 1954. Last year the H/L was 58/40.
Here in MBY I recorded 0.51" of rainfall. The overnight low here was a warm 60 and at the current time it is 61 with some light rain falling.
The front has moved through the area and temps today will be about 15 degrees cooler than yesterday with highs near normal in the upper 60's. We turn colder than normal for the weekend with high temps struggling to escape the mid 50's for higher spots and upper 50's in lower locales. It will be cloudy with some showers possible most likely on Sunday into Sunday night. We warm back up again by the middle of next week before we cool back down for the week of the 12th with a stretch of below normal readings.
Chester County records for today: High 95 degrees at Phoenixville (2018) / Low 28 Devault 1W (1957) / Rain 3.00" Devault 1W (1985)
