| episode_narrative | An unseasonably warm air mass for late March brought record breaking high temperatures across Eastern Pennsylvania from March 27th through March 31st. The warmest days were the 30th around the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area and either the 30th or 31st in Berks County, the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos. Several locations across the Middle Atlantic States established new March monthly high temperature records including the Lehigh Valley International Airport on the 30th with a high of 87 degrees. The previous March monthly record was 86 degrees set on March 29, 1945. Daily high temperature records were broken at the Lehigh Valley International Airport on the 27th, 30th and 31st and on the 30th (one degree shy of the monthly record) at the Philadelphia International Airport. The high of 81 degrees on the 31st tied the record high for the day in Philadelphia. Across Eastern Pennsylvania, the highest temperatures included 89 degrees in King of Prussia (Montgomery County), and Crum Creek (Delaware County), 88 degrees in Reading (Berks County), New Hope (Bucks County), the Willow Grove NAS (Montgomery County), East Stroudsburg (Monroe County) and the Northeast Philadelphia Airport, 87 degrees in Easton (Northampton County) and the Lehigh Valley International Airport, 86 degrees at the Philadelphia International Airport and 84 degrees in Mount Pocono (Monroe County). Cloudiness and a cold frontal passage on April 1st slowly brought temperatures back to seasonal levels in early April. |
