chescowxman Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 Today should be the best day of the week with temps near 60 degrees and sunny! Rain chances start to increase by Thursday through Saturday. This would be some much needed rain for the many farmers in the county. We may not see another sub freezing morning for at least the next week or longer.

Grizzcoat Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 Euro has gone crazy-- personally-- I think it's off. Likely WAY off, but its the Euro. -- But if so-- Top 10 snowiest March is possible for DSM and other locales in IA-- DSM currently 9.9" for March-- need 15.8" for Top 10. Long stretch - I get it- but Euro keeps shoving snowfield further SE with this system. Local DMX disco's have gone full blown spring with no hint of snow in S.IA--- Is this winter fatigue - or legit forecasting??? I think some of both. Time will tell. 3 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

westMJim Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 Yesterday was a cloudy day with 0% of possible sunshine. The official H/L was 49/40 and after sundown there was 0.04” of rain fall there was no snow fall. The overnight low so far for today is a mild 42 and that is the current temperature with light rain falling. For today the average H/L is 48/29 the record high of 74 was set in 1907 and 2012 the record low of 4 was set in 1983.The record snow fall amount of 8.4” fell in 1956 (that was the year of the biggest tornado to hit the Grand Rapids area on April 3rd) Last year the H/L was 47/39. The next week looks to have several chances of rain and maybe some snow tossed in as well there looks to be some wind to deal with also. Temperatures look to be on the cooler side of average and no real warm spring days are in the forecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chescowxman Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 Through today we are only at 62% of normal precipitation. Much of this due to our snow drought ( we should be at over 34" of snow so far this season but stand at only 2.7") However, we received 0.14" of much needed rain overnight with more over the way over the next 3 days. With somewhere around 0.50" possible. Today will be mild then we turn much chillier for both tomorrow and Saturday. The NWS has highs in the 50's for both Friday and Saturday...my bet is we get nowhere near that warm as both Friday and especially look like we won't escape the 40's with a chilly cold rain. The sun returns on Sunday with temps near normal in the mid-50's Records for today: High 81 (1907) / Low 14 (1940) / Precipitation 1.20" (1903) / Snow 4.5" (1896) Quote All historical weather data analytics posted by me is specifically for the climate of Chester County PA.
