Hurricane Agnes

Didn't actually *see* any frozen falling during the weekend event but I did register 0.88" of rain Friday night and 0.50" on Saturday, for a 1.38" total for the 2-days. Saturday's high of 43 was definitely toppled by yesterday's 60, where a non-diurnal warming had commenced after midnight yesterday with my low of 40 at midnight. Whatever has been attempting to cross the area this morning has mainly been virga IMBY so far and after a low of 39 earlier this morning, It's currently overcast and 49, with dp 40.

Before round 2 comes through, I did pick up 0.41" from the thunder-boomers this morning. Had a low of 61 so far this evening and made it up to 71 for a non-diurnal high just after midnight. Currently 62 with dp 41.

And another sound and light show incoming - this time early morning. STS up for south of me - Currently getting rain (0.07" in bucket at post time) and 67 with juicy dp of 66.

Finished up with 1.50" before midnight and another 0.37" after, ending about an hour or so ago, for a 1.87" 2-day total. Cold front passage(s) were obvious on the weather station! Currently a misty 47 with dp 42.

Nice sound and light show here. Getting about 1/2"/hr rates and now have 1.01" in the bucket at post time. Temp is down to 61 with dp 60. Made it up to 79 as a high just after 5 pm.

Gully washer here. Just got a STS lofted. Had up to 3"/hr rates about 5 minutes ago. Lots of convection and some loud claps. Already have 0.61" in the bucket. Currently >1"/hr rain and 61 with dp 60. Got some bowing going on with a segment over the city.

Bottomed out at 50 before 2 am here and it just hit 77 as I was posting. Dewpoint is a bit juicy at 63. I know folks are hoping to get the home opener in before the alternate fireworks begin, so any pre-frontal might affect the game, which has a 3:05 pm start.

Bottomed out at 43 earlier this morning and apparently the warm front has been hovering overhead much of the morning. The sun started popping out at about 11:30 am but the temp hasn't gone up too much yet. It's 70ish in Dover & near or at 80 in D.C. but in the 40s north of Philly. Currently partly sunny and 55 with dp 49.

Am actually sitting at 82 at post time. Last time I had this temp was back on Oct. 22, 2024. Will have to see if it keeps going up. I was surprised at how fast it shot up this morning (low was 53). Didn't expect the rise to happen until later. Current dewpoint is 55 and it is breezy. I had light rain on and off yesterday afternoon but not enough to tip the bucket until sometime before midnight, with 0.01". My east-viewing is blocked by trees and houses so even though I tried, I couldn't see what would have been just a few minute 11% - 12% sun chomp. I was actually surprised that the sky wasn't completely overcast as it usually is during celestial events. There was just some cirrus here this morning so the viewing would have been okay I think.

Finished up with 0.68" of much-needed rain. Currently breezy and 43 with dp 34.

I did get my first lightning strike of the spring, just after 8 pm. I think when the front goes through, you might get some flying calves (further north may have the full sized beef guys). Getting some moderate rain, just under 1/2" per hour and have 0.15" in the bucket. Made it up to 69 for a high after a 44 low and it's currently 56 with dp 53. Was glad I put some fertilizer out for the plants to get rained in!

Hit my first 70 for the year yesterday just before 3 pm (after a low of 40). Had expected to get some kind of measurable before midnight but nada - my rain was all registered for today. No convection/lightning detected here. The plot of the temp/dp shows when that cold front came through just after midnight! Currently have 1.08" in the bucket at post time and it's currently 54 with dp 54 and light rain.

My final total for yesterday's rain did end up being 2.21" (didn't get any measurable with the scattered returns that came later). Currently a misty 46 with dp 40.

Finally got chance to pop in but that whole line really over-produced here. I ended with up to 1.44"/hr rates at one point and total so far (at post time, because it looks like another little batch incoming soon) was 2.21"! I watched a thin but moisture-laden line that had been training over me for a bit after the main line had moved on. After a 44 low, got up to 60 for a high and it's currently a misty 54 with dp 54, and lots of puddles.

And that was just a couple minute burst and now the clouds have parted with a few stray clumped flurries. The tail of that band looks pretty raggedy and dry so...
