As expected, PHX came up 2F shy of the 110F territory...made it up to 108F yesterday...however, today we will likely set a new record high of 113F! Lets do it...I went out on my deck about 30 min ago and it feels like it will be a scorcher today. Typically, you can feel a little "coolness" to the air in the mornings but nasso much today as its already 80F here and 86F at PHX.
Quite the spread of rain totals since yesterday with the warm frontal passage with much more across Southwest Chester County with around 4.37" at Nottingham Park to as little as 0.15" at Devault in Northeast Chester County. Very humid this morning before a strong cold front enters the County from West to East around the 3pm till 4pm time frame. A beautiful Friday through most of Sunday with pleasant temps with lows in the 50's and highs in the mid 70's give the AC a rest!
