E PA/NJ/DE Fall 2023 OBS/Discussion Thread
Hurricane Agnes replied to Rtd208's topic in Philadelphia Region
Topped off at 76 yesterday as a high and bottomed out at 52 this morning, the latter being the coolest of the month so far, although the temp quickly rebounded back into the upper 60s by mid morning. It's been mostly sunny all morning but is starting to cloud over and the dp is also creeping up. Currently partly sunny and 78 with dp 59. -

Nope. They usually don't let you migrate the data to a new station. I still have my old one online at WU (that is about 8 years old and I brought it with me when I moved to my current location) and saw no way to move the name to the newer one (had to create a new ID). Both are Ambients and when I got the newer one, Ambient had set up its own site so I have the newer one reporting to both (WU doesn't recognize the lightning data nor the PM sensor data). However I also have my newer one's data being sniffed by a little gateway guy and I feed that to a Raspberry Pi to display internally, and that data is on the Pi so I do at least have that. I think WU does let you create a data backup (they have putzed with their site on and off for a bunch of years when they were bought so I had periodically tried to download the data from the older station). As an obs, I was a smidge warmer this morning than yesterday morning (55 vs 53) and am actually at my high for the day so far of 76. Have lots of blue sky and a dp of 54 so an ideal, albeit cool (with the breeze) day. -

Made it up to 77 for a high yesterday and with dps in the 50s, that made it ideal. Bottomed out at a cool 53 this morning, that would almost suggest good radiational cooling but the winds were going all night so probably CAA. Currently mostly sunny and 61 with dp a remarkable 50. Last low in the '50s IMBY was a 58 during the summer solstice, in that case on 6/22/23. -

Eventually finished up with 0.19" overnight and early this morning. Bottomed out at 68, and the sun has popped out. Currently 77 with dp 68, as the clouds continue clearing out leaving some puffy cumulus in their wake. -

Had a loud thunder just before 3 am here and figured it was pouring cats and dogs but found I only got 0.18". Finished with a high of 85 yesterday and it's currently a damp and steamy 68 with dp 68. -

He seemed to make sure he had on some kind of long sleeve something (hoodie, etc). And he is from Brazil, so I can imagine some huge ones there. I ended up with a low of 64 this morning and one thing that did help was the advection behind the front that took the dps down some. It's currently partly sunny with lots of cumulus and a temp of 84 with dp 65. Flood Watch up. -

Have to add this-- I stumbled on this update this evening - NOAA completed their supercomputer upgrades last month for the models - https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/noaa-completes-upgrade-to-weather-and-climate-supercomputer-system Supposed to be a more hi-res GFS (among other things). I was kinda following this the past 2 years. Looking forward to more 10-day fantasy storms this winter, but now in hi-res! As an obs - am currently 73 with dp 70. -

As predicted. A swing and a fizzle miss. Margot just got her wings and is now a Cat 1. ETA - I just looked at the 18z GFS and that can't be Margot - at least verbatim, due to the angle that it is coming in (following Lee's track). It could be one of the 2 disturbances that came off the west coast of Africa that are being monitored or something "home grown" closer to this hemisphere. NHC has Margot pretty much moving due north from where it is at the moment (with some east/west wobble). Currently mostly cloudy post-sunset and 75 with dp 70. -

Seeing some angry-looking clouds to the west as a convective line slowly moves east. Am assuming cells will fizzle over me but we'll see... It did make it up to 83 today before clouding over and it's currently mostly cloudy and 80 with dp 73. -

Sun has been breaking through the clouds and the 69 is confirmed as a low. Didn't add any additional rain since the last post although supposedly possibilities appear again later this afternoon. I do see some little pop-ups along the seabreeze front dunna shore. Currently partly sunny and 78 with dp 72. -

Some kind of cluster of convection-producing pop-ups visited me overnight between midnight and 4 am giving me an additional 0.09" for today (so far) and a 1.58" 4-day total. As long as I don't have to haul out the hose, I am happy. Am currently at my low of 69, with a misty, steamy-windows, low stratus dp of 69. -

FFW just to my east where cells have been unleashing and NE Philly now getting raked. I did get some more from stuff the pop-ups that drifted overhead earlier, and am now up to 0.42" for the day. Temp is 73 with dp 72. -

Getting a new pop-up with 1/4"/hr rates. It had clouded up and got near sunset dark so was wondering if something would bubble up. So far have another 0.04" in the bucket (0.34" for the day at post time). Temp is 76 with dp 74. -

Just heard that on KYW. At least I know where that is. Sun did come out and so far I have made it to 80 as a high and there's some angry-looking cumulus to the west with a temp of 79, and dp 73, -

Ended up with an additional 0.12" from that round and now stand at 0.30" for the day (so far) and 1.37" for an actual 3-day total (since Friday). Currently an overcast and misty 72 with dp 70. -

Oh I know it's close to you but meant it was "30 miles away" from "the perimeter" around Chadds Ford that had been widely reported by the local LEO that they were "certain" he was "within". Aside from obviously being a "survivalist"-by-experience, could be he is getting some "help". Am still getting light stuff, which is probably best for "soaking in" and not gully-washer runoff, and am up to 0.18" as of post time (1.25" 2-day total). Temp is 69 with dp 69, with occasional steamy windows. -

I had KYW on when the "breaking" news came in this morning. Talk about busting through a "perimeter". That's almost 30 miles away. This cluster of showers have me now up to 0.14" at post time. Low earlier was 67 and am currently 69 with light rain and dp 69. -

Interesting how that evolved. Sortof tentacles to my east and west. ETA am getting some light stuff now - so far at 0.03" in the bucket from it! -

Picked up another 0.30" from that little pop-up to give me 0.70" for the day and 1.07" for a 2-day total! Currently misty and 70 with dp 70. -

Getting another pop up! Woot! just over 1"/hr. This one is heavier than the last round. Currently up to 0.62" for the day at post time with temp 70 and dp 70. -

Somebody put a pan of jiffy pop on the stove out west and it's starting to pop. Berks and Lehigh Counties have really been cashing in with this pattern. Will have to see if our Reading folks get any... -

Picked up 0.39" from that round to add to the 0.01" that fell around 2am, for a 2-day total so far of 0.77". Yay! Sun is tentatively out trying to shine through the overcast and temp is 70 with dp 69. -

Those clusters threw a couple outflow boundaries that spread out from east to west. Took my temp down to 69 and dp to 68, while the sun is trying to come out but then there is that stuff out west. -

That red blob was sitting over me. It's moving fast though and the heaviest has moved to the north. Still getting some moderate rain and have 0.36" in the bucket.
