CHESTER COUNTY, PA — The Chester County forecast for today calls for mostly cloudy skies, with a high near 52°F. Winds will be out of the south at 5 to 15 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph.
Offshore high pressure will keep things relatively calm today, but we can expect a more complex weather pattern as we move into the week. A series of low pressure systems look to move north of the area, bringing with them increased winds and colder temperatures.
Tonight
As the night progresses, patchy fog may become more widespread in the area. This fog is a result of increased cloud coverage, humidity and a slight chance of rain due to a mid-level shortwave system pushing through the area.
With south winds at 5-10 mph expected overnight, temperatures will likely remain fairly stable in the mid-30s to mid-40s while the atmospheric moisture (PWAT) is expected to surge from 0.25 inches this afternoon to 0.75 inches tonight– allowing surface dew points to rise into the mid-40s as well.
All this combined could create a bit of a damp and misty atmosphere so be sure that if you plan on going out for evening activities, be prepared for some cooler temperatures and a foggy horizon.
