JTA66

The warning I'm reading says 80mph! Is that headed for Agnes?

Yeah, it's really dark here but just a garden-variety t-storm. Looks like the bulk is passing to my south. Temp down to 78F.

Just heard my first low rumble in the distance, 83F.

I don't recall a March '91 bust. But if you were battling the rain/snow line in the Lehigh Valley, then maybe it was always forecasted as a rainer down this way, so I didn't pay any attention to it. What I do remember is those winters from 1987-88 to 1991-92 were pretty much snowless around here, except for an occasional nickel & dimer.

My forecasted high was for 90F today, but I've only made it to 84F so far. No complaints here.

Could be. I was also listening for the tree frogs you and Stemwinder were discussing. I heard the usual frogs in my creek while mowing on Saturday.

Yeah, I was a little surprised too. We're moving into late July, what are the waiting for?? 80F/DP 65F

Got down to 68F overnight. I turned off the AC yesterday, so last night was the first night sleeping with open windows for some time. Still haven't heard any katydids yet. 74F/DP 65F

Gorgeous looking October sky out there today! 75F/DP 65F

Yeah, you know it’s been ungodly humid when a DP of 67F feels good.

Finished with 1.30” today, 71F. I kicked up a lot of dust mowing this morning. The lawn looked like it would brown up in a few more days w/o the rain.

The radar looks great down your way, stay safe! Got a shower moving through now with some thunder.

Radar is looking juicy off to the SW.

Picked up an inch from the storm earlier this afternoon. It trained over my neighbor for about 1/2 hour. My temp has since rebounded to 80F. I’m sure I’ll see more storms this evening, but I’m guessing the earlier one has stabilized things enough that they’ll be sub-severe.

First storm of the day moving in. Dropped my temp from 91F to 77F. Couple of close lightning strikes, too!

Thanks, just added it to the shopping list for my next trip to Lowes. Been diddy-boppin' between 93F-94F much of the afternoon. It will be interesting to see if these early storms set up some outflow boundaries for later today.

Yard work done. Fortunately it was mainly in shaded areas, but still. Up to 90F at noon and I did see some young lantern flies. I tried stepping on them but those little suckers are fast!

Don't! I just stepped outside for a moment...hoochie mama!! Temp isn't horrible at 81F, but that humid air mass is a slap in the face. I was hoping to do a little yard work this morning before the heat of the day fully kicks in, but now I'm reconsidering.

Back in the olden days we could pin threads. This is certainly pin worthy 92F/DP 69F

Only got down to 74F overnight, already up to 79F. Looks like we’re off to the races today.

Maybe my thermometer hiccuped. Up to 89F now

What Kamu said...feast or famine pattern this past week. I haven't been in a jackpot zone, but I've probably managed to nickel & dime my way to an inch since Friday. Enough to keep things green for now. We made it to July 15, mid point of met summer! Only 69 days until fall. NFL training camps begin to open next week. Sun now sets prior to 8:30. 82F/DP 68F

Only got to 88F today. Clouds have since moved in and am now sitting at 86F. I’m hoping I can get under one the those stray showers to keep the lawn green for a while longer.

Stupid question...what do the white circles represent, thunder? Like everyone else, that storm woke me up @2am. Thought it would miss me to the NW, but I got clipped by it. I'd say about 20-30 minutes of heavy rain that produced .60" here. I feel so bad for the folks who got hammered yesterday. I saw interviews with people who said they've lived there for decades and never experience flooding. That's what 8"-10" in a few hours will do. Haven't heard of any loss of life, so that's a positive. 71F/DP 70F

Hearing thunder from the storm passing to my south. Made it up to 90F but now down to 86F under cloudy skies.
