  1. I have been getting fringed by the dissolving cells. Right now I have a wet walk but no measurable. The high ended up being 89 and I'm currently mostly cloudy with a break of sun, and 81 with dp 76.
  2. What looked promising last night when I went to bed, was a bust here. Ended up with 0.03" yesterday and 0.01" today (around 5 am-ish). Had a warm low of 75 this morning and have so far hit a high of 89 today. Currently mostly cloudy and 88 with dp 75.
  3. Had been getting some drive-by sprinkles enough for 0.03". Currently mostly cloudy and 72 with dp 69.
  4. Flood Watch up for much of the CWA - Had a low of 66 this morning and surprisingly hit 90 just before 2:30 pm (had expected to hit that the previous week). That makes my first 90 of August and my 13th of the season. Currently 86 and mostly cloudy with dp69.
  5. Power back at the original earlier estimate of 12:20 am. YAY! I did have my station console on a UPS. Currently 71 with dp 66.
  6. PECO's map now has a 1:30 am est. restoration time and listed the cause as "down trees and limbs". LOL My electric is underground to the house but obviously that is meaningless if wires have to go above ground to poles eventually, in order to get to a substation. It would have been a good night for Perseids viewing with all the lights out around the area which I tried and got treated to a deck of cirrus. At least I did hear the katydids going, although not many crickets for some bizarre reason.
  7. Well starting at 9:59 pm, my whole area here in Chestnut Hill along with much of Wyndmoor, had the power go out. There is clear weather. Power is still out.
  8. Ugh. I know where my sister is in Wyndmoor, the last nasty storm, all the houses across the street from her were out. Her block had the electric poles and wires carefully placed decades ago when the houses were built, so they would be "hidden" among trees that were set along a strip of what was a township easement. Fast-forward like 60 years and it's literally been a nightmare storm after storm, with PECO sending Asplundh out to prune branches and whatnot. Most of the time it ended up being her side out because the poles were set along a creek and surrounded by trees. The 68 did end up being my low this morning and I made it up to 88 as a high. It's currently a breezy and mostly sunny 84 with dp 66.
  9. Got warned overnight and apparently a lot sound and fury signifying nothing here, with no measurable rain. Most seemed to have gone north of me. Did try to peep out earlier this morning and there was cirrus with some breaks enough to see stars but not really as clear as hoped if wanting to catch any stray Perseid streaks that would be visible from the city. I did see a cool crescent moon rising though. Currently partly sunny and 68 (my low so far) with dp 67.
  10. That southern blob looks like it's headed for the ballpark. I think the game starts at 6:05 so it might hit there before game time. RedSky might be getting fringed by the northern blob.
  11. That is getting warned right now. Currently partly sunny and 84 with dp 74 IMBY.
  12. Captured a recent frame that looked like it was trying to do something but it seems to have dissipated a bit.
  13. You lucked out. Those storms generated an outflow boundary that came barreling over me from SE to NW but it didn't really drop my temps much. My temp is back up to what is currently my high of 85 with dp now 76.
  14. Got up to 85 as a high yesterday and had a 66 low this morning and it wasn't too bad out. But then I guess the warm front went into motion and ugh. I was up in Cheltenham on Cheltenham Ave just before noon when I saw a similar shelf cloud to my south. I was like, awwwwww sh****t. Got to my pharmacy and it unleashed as I was about to get out the car so I waited a bit (I did have an umbrella), then it was done. Then went to the supermarket and while inside I looked out the big pane glass windows and more unleashing. Got home and saw I picked up 0.10" from what appeared to be a couple cells. In any case, that rain took the slop level up to max. It's currently partly sunny and 82 with dp 75.
  15. Got up to as high as a just over 2"/hr rate and added 0.37" from a round 2 for a total today of 1.26". Sun has been trying to pop out and it's currently overcast with occasional break of sun, and73 with dp 72.
  16. Getting another round with about 1" hr rates. Currently up to 1.09" total in the bucket (0.20" for round 2).
  17. IIRC when KYW radio was simulcasting Justin Drabick's play-by-play, he mentioned that it appeared to be in a pretty rural area in/near the Pine Barrens. A Pemberton, Burlco Emergency Manager had reported seeing a funnel cloud.
  18. Have 0.89" in the bucket so far at post time. It's currently an overcast and misty 74 with dp 73.
  19. Rain has arrived here and have 0.03" in the bucket so far. Ended up with a high of 86 yesterday and a low of 69 this morning. Currently 74 with light rain and dp 72.
  20. I just posted just below your reply that Mt. Holly reported that all of the surveyed locations experienced straight line wind damage.
  21. Mt. Holly did surveys of various areas of interest including Glen Mills and reported that it was straight line winds. Looks like my current 80 is my high for today and dp is still 64.
  22. I figured you were out driving yesterday and saw one of these - I drove around here earlier this morning and there were some small branches and other leaf debris on the streets but didn't see any obvious trees down. I did see a few streets where Verizon was out blocking lanes and I guess working on their downed wires. There was (and still is) an active breeze trying to mix the humid air out so that was welcome. Currently breezy with changeable skies, 75 and a not-as-horrid dp of 64.
  23. Looks to be near Harrisburg. Ended up with a high of 87 yesterday and 1.52" total rain from both rounds. This morning's low was 69 and it's currently mostly cloudy with occasional sun and 73, with dp 70. ETA to note that one of my sisters (the Upper Darby one) who travels up this way to go to the Flourtown Swim Club said that she got a notice that they were closed due to downed trees there (it is in Springfield (Montco) Township) a few miles from me.
