Discussion
Low temperature records were set this morning in dozens and dozens of locations across the eastern US including at the following nearby stations: Philly Intl Airport, PA, Allentown, PA, Reading, PA, State College, PA and Wilmington, DE. Despite plenty of sunshine today, temperatures will struggle to reach the middle 30's which may be the “lowest” high temperature ever recorded here on November 13th. The unusual early season chill will only slowly moderate on Thursday and Friday and then take a step backwards on Saturday following the passage of another cold front which may knock ten degrees off the afternoon highs between Friday and Saturday. By early next week, we’ll have to watch low pressure near the coastline as it tracks northeastward over the western Atlantic.
