Our First 80 Will Be Late To The Party

Since 1977, our average date for the "first 80" in Philadelphia of the year has fallen around April 15th. During this decade, we have had two March "first 80's": 2000 and 2007. This year's first 80, regardless of if it occurs on Friday (as I'm currently forecasting) or not, will be later than the running 30 year average. Thankfully for those who like warmth, it will not be as late as 1984's first 80, which occurred on May 20th.
