PA Blurb - April 2013

For three consecutive Wednesdays (April 10, 17 and 24), strong to severe thunderstorms rumbled across the Commonwealth resulting in 110 wind damage reports and over a dozen hail reports, but no tornadoes. Despite a very chilly start to the month with snow showers in many sections, the majority of the days (14-18 days) averaged above normal temperatures resulting in a slightly above average April. Rainfall was sporadic and only a few places had above average precipitation (mostly in the northwest). The southeast counties were the driest as only 40-50% of normal rain fell. Compared to 2012 which brought a killing freeze to many regions last April, this month was rather typical so most fruit trees and ornamentals were a week or two behind normal blossoming (and 5 weeks later than last year). The societal impacts of the weather were minimal in Pennsylvania during April 2013.
