The official H/L yesterday was 62/47 there was 0.05” of rainfall at the airport. It was yet another windy day with the average wind speed of 14.7 MPH and the highest gust of 36MPH out of the SW. For today the average H/L is 62/41. The record high of 86 was set in 1915 and the record low of 25 was set in 2015. The most rainfall of 1.46” fell in 1957 the most snowfall of 2.4” fell in 1980 the most snow of the ground is 1” in 2005 and 1980.
There were a couple rounds of thunderstorms last night. They did not produce much rainfall as the official amount was 0.05” and here in MBY I only recorded 0.03”. I work for the Whitecaps and there was a lot more rain at the ballpark. The storms had a lot of lightning with them. It was the most lightning around game time in a long time. The Whitecaps did win the game 6 to 2. The overnight low here in MBY was 36 at the current time it is cloudy and 37.
Even though the news stories that I have seen downplay it the Ruang’s eruptions may (or may not) have some effect on the weather leading into fall and next winter. Will have to keep a eye on how the sunrise and sunset pay out over the days ahead. The more red they are the more dust there could be in the upper atmosphere.
Near normal temps today before colder again through Saturday. We may see frost or freezes again by Friday morning. Big warm up on the way by Monday with temps possibly reaching the 80's for the first time in some areas.
Chester County records for today: High 91 degrees in West Chester (1960) / Low 26 degrees at Coatesville (1930) / Rain 2.40" in Coatesville (1968)
It's looking like the wetter pattern that will close out April will carry into the first week of May along the I-35 corridor. I'm ready to get the pool ready and the CPC favors above average temps to open May.
