chescowx Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 IF (and a big if) the latest 18z NAM is to be believed Monday's currently forecast of a sub-freezing high temperature would mark the latest day in recorded weather history for almost all Chester County NWS COOP locations going all the way back to 1894....that the thermometer failed to reach 32 degrees in a calendar year! The latest sub-freezing day in Western Chester County was the 32 degrees back on March 26, 2014. I am not sure of what the record latest sub freezing low max is at PHL or other locations but....something unusual especially in our current warming cycle at least out here in Chester County!

Chubbs Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Record low maxes likely in the northeast on monday. Note that monday is a good day for records in the US, with record highs in the west (Table at top of figure). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locally Apr 2003 was also very impressive particularly for the 4/8 max temps. With 3-6" of fresh snow on the ground from the prior day & overcast skies temps did not get out of the low-mid 30's for a large part of Bucks & adjacent Lehigh Valley, CNJ. At Trenton (TTN) the high temp on 4/8/2003 was only 32 degrees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different regime in the west, not as much movement under a warm ridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chescowx Posted March 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 We did indeed set the record for latest sub-freezing day in history across almost all long term NWS COOP reporting sites across Chester County today! KMQS and KOQN reached 32 degrees while KPTW could do no better than 30 degrees. Along with the record late cold... some snow squalls...including the below clip of a sun squall from late today in East Nantmeal 2022-03-28_17-03-17.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
