Hurricane Agnes

More Watches up (in addition to the Flood Watch) - I ended up getting a little more rain after midnight this morning - 0.07". I actually finished yesterday with 0.86" so have 0.93" over 2 days with more possibly on the way with that line that is out west. Low this morning was 74 and am currently at my high of 91 (day 4 of my current heatwave and I believe day 26 for 90+), with dp an awful 80.

Yeah looks like it's about done here and sky is brightening. Am seeing some epic outflow from that blob down by Wilmington. Unless something else bubbles up, looks like I finished with 0.85" and am glad. Supposed to possibly be more this weekend (I guess with a front) although it'll heat up before that gets close. Currently clearing, misty, and 75 with dp 75,

Getting over 2"/hr rates and now have 0.85" in the bucket at post time and am grateful! Temp down to 74 with dp 74.

Finally under a little heavier returns. Rain is steady but was so "quiet" I had to go check to see if it was actually raining. Currently3/4" per hour rates and have 0.27" in the bucket. Temp still 77 with dp 75.

Getting some thunder and rain and have 0.14" in the bucket. Temp down to 77 with dp 74.

Watches are up - Currently overcast and 90 with dp 78. Hoping the line holds together to give me something!

Day 3 to start yet another heatwave IMBY, with the last day of July having a 90/75 split and yesterday with a 97/74 split. This morning's low was 77 and had hit 90 by 9:30 this morning. High so far today was 95 which is my current with dp 77. Tally of 90+ days is now 25 IMBY for JJA. When I had briefly popped outside (foolish) earlier this morning, i saw an interesting combo of cirrus and cumulus - just all kinds of cloud types but still plenty of sun. I need rain! Last rain here was 9 days ago (thankfully a soaking but that as worn off). Hoping I can cash in on some of that incoming stuff! EC seems to have problems with tropical systems. The Ukie seems to do better!

Down to very light rain where the sun has popped out a few times and currently have 1.41" of beneficial rain at post time. Temp is rising again and at 75 with dp 75.

The heaviest of the blob has moved out although still have just over 1/2" hour rates. Currently have 1.38" in the bucket at post time since noon. Current temp is 72 with dp 72.

Yeah it was because I wasn't sure if the storm motion would move it up from the SW over me vs fizzling or moving more to the east. Don't have to pull the hose out!!!

Now at 1.07" since 12:00pm (I had opened the back door to check for any hail). 3.40"/hr rate.

Now at 3"/hr rates, 0.85" in the bucket, temp 73 with dp 72.

Now under the blob with just over 2"/hr rates. Have 0.41" in the bucket at post time.

Getting warned for a little blob that is fringing me to the south. Made it up to 84 yesterday after a low of 76 and had 0.14" Monday evening and 0.41" early yesterday morning. Low this morning was 74. Currently getting some light rain and it's soup with a temp of 77, a dp of 75 and 0.03" in the bucket at post time.

Finished up with 0.87" (total from 2 rounds - 0.05" + 0.82"). There appears to be a light band ahead of the actual cold front moving this way but not sure how much of that survives the trip. Currently an overcast and misty 71 (my low so far for the day), with dp 71.

Under the band now and getting a gully washer with 1.75"/hr. Temp down to 74 with dp 73. Have 0.42" in the bucket (0.37" from round 2).

Sounds like a gust front is trying to come through. After the last round, the temp recovered back up to around 83. Now it is dropping and down to 79 with dp 75.

Well that little blob disintegrated as it passed over me. Apparently it deluged the roadways in Chester County and then Montgomery County on its way here, including Conshohocken and other places along the way, per KYW's traffic report. Picked up 0.05" from it. There's another cluster going through Delco at the moment and will most likely miss me to the south. Currently mostly cloudy but clearing and 79 with dp 73. It did make it up to 95 as a high here after a low of 72 this morning.

Have a blob on my doorstep. Lots of convection associated with it. Has gotten breezy (may be the gust front) and temp has dropped down to 88 with dp 73.

Thunder boomer Watches up - IMBY, today is day 5 of the current heatwave with temps at or above 90. So far this month, I have had 13 days of 90 and above and with 9 days in June, season to date total is a whopping 22 (and we haven't even finished off July yet let alone gone through August). Currently a partly sunny and hazy 94 with dp 73.

"Strobing" is the perfect term! I finished up with 0.25" of rain but I'll take it. At least it knocked the temps down about 25 degrees and gave the plants some moisture. Definitely not enough for all the brown/dormant grass around here though. Have already bottomed out at 72 this morning and it's currently mostly cloudy, misty, and 74, with dp 72.

Getting a lot of cloud-to-cloud lightning. It's almost continuous. Briefly had almost 1.5"/hr rates but the line is a fast-mover, so not much to show for all the sound and fury so far - 0.23" in the bucket at post time but I'll take it! Temp is down to 75 with dp 72.

Am under the leading edge of the line. Lots of wind and lightning although not much if any thunder. Gully washer underway! Temp has dropped down to 80 with dp 76.

I was watching that line consolidate and decided to go ahead and put my patio umbrella down. Will see if that holds together all the way to the city. Still 91 here with dp 75 and overcast.

Norman up with the watches - After a low of 76 this morning, I did easily make it up to 98 today for a high (so far) and it's currently a mostly sunny 3 H day, with temp bopping between 96 & 97, and with dp 77.
