All spots across the County exceeded the 90 degree mark with the oh so close exception of East Nantmeal where we could "only" reach 89.9 degrees!. The next coolest spot was West Grove at 90.9. Some of the hotter spots included Chester Springs 95 degrees and. KOQN Brandywine Airport also 95. The hot temps looks to continue for the next few days before we drop back into the 80's by Wednesday. Along with the temp drop will come increasing shower chances by Tuesday night. Each day from Wednesday thru Saturday will feature a chance at some showers.
Chester County records for today: High 103 degrees at Phoenixville (2010)/ Low was 47 degrees at West Chester (2001) / Rain 2.23" at Coatesville (1907)
The "Iconic" ICON model continues to illustrate a very cool scenario from Texarkana up into the Lower Lakes region. I can't recall the exact year but there was a very similar 'Cane that came up from the GOM and through IL/IN. Was it 2017 or '18? Gosh, I'm drawing a blank...maybe someone can pull that up. Anyway, its been a broken record..."pun intended"...as PHX set another overnight warm record low high at 91F this morning. As I think about why its been happening so frequently this past JUN and early July, it might also have to do with the humidity and moisture in the air as the temps don't drop as much. The early Monsoon most likely has played an important role.
Beryl will be affecting Texas within 12 hrs. A Cat 1, it will be a heavy rain event. No doubts Texas needs the rain, just not all at once.
A beautiful 77* currently.
High of 97 by 5 pm.
