Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA strong ridge of high pressure at the surface and higher levels of our atmosphere brought unseasonably warm air into Pennsylvania from January 27th through the 30th. This cemented another unseasonably warm and dry month across the region. High temperatures were in the 60s and even some record breaking 70s on the 29th (the warmest day). A cold front dropped through the state late in the day on the 30th and lowered temperatures closer to seasonable levels on the 31st. Highest temperatures included 73 degrees at the Franklin Institute within Philadelphia and Neshaminy Falls ( Bucks County), 72 degrees at the Philadelphia International Airport and Crum Creek (Delaware County), 71 degrees at the Northeast Philadelphia Airport, 69 degrees in Doylestown (Bucks County) and Valley Forge (Chester County), 68 degrees in Pottstown (Montgomery County), 67 degrees in Reading (Berks County), 66 degrees at the Lehigh Valley International Airport, 65 degrees in East Stroudsburg (Monroe County), 63 degrees in Bath (Northampton County) and 59 degrees in Mount Pocono (Monroe County). The high temperature in East Stroudsburg (Monroe County) reached 60 degrees for three consecutive days from the 27th through the 29th, the first time it occurred during January. January monthly mean temperatures averaged around 7 degrees warmer than normal, but did not crack the top ten in most locations. One place where it did was in East Stroudsburg, where the monthly mean temperature of 34.1 degrees (8.7 degrees above normal) was the sixth warmest January on record. The monthly mean temperature at the Philadelphia International Airport was 39.2 degrees, 6.9 degrees above normal.
