Birds~69 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Lots of rolling thunder and some lightning but limited rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Rocked and rolled here overnight - lots of lightning and loud thunder woke me up around 12:30 am and it raged for the next hour. Got about 0.4" of rain (glad for it because I would have had to go out and water today). It was ironic that it hit after everyone pretty much gave up on the convection line that dissipated and after the watch expired, requiring a SPS.

BBasile Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Still only have 0.08" of rain on the month. Hard to believe that it hasn't rained more than one hundredth of an inch at a time with all this heat and humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Got the ol' 7-10 split here last night. First storm passed to the north around midnight, but I did get a minute's worth of rain out of it. The second line passed to my south after 12:30, but there was some good lightning and thunder with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Actually feels decent outside considering how it's been. Nice breeze, 79F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Had some rain here the last 3 nights, not much though - August total here is up to a whopping 0.33". Nice pics and videos of lightning the last few days everybody! The most lightning I saw was Saturday evening between 8:30 pm and 10 pm, from the t'storm cluster up around Quakertown - saw a nice Portugese Man-o-War shaped thunderhead off to the north, had no idea it was that far away. Could see the lightning in the cloud tops while it was still light out (8:30). Here it's been mostly frustration, from watching the fade from late afternoon action on radar to our west to just another warm muggy evening. This morning was awesome though, blue sky, breezy, lower humidity. Looks like we MAY get something tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds~69 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Really looking forward to some storms tomorrow afternoon/evening followed by a super refreshing Monday with low temps Mon night in the 50's. Maybe a hot shot here and there (short lived) but Summer is on life support.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds~69 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Not even 2pm and stuff is on our doorsteps. Much earlier than I though. 87.8F and a not so high DP at 64F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the heaviest convective stuff is staying south. I figured that when the temp steadily dropped like it did (about 10 degrees in the past hour) that it would diffuse some of the instability here.

Yeah, started around 3pm with light rain then mod for a bit. No sign of thunder/lightning whatsoever. Precip almost through now...probably end up with .2-.3". Bring on the cooler temps!!!

Doppler is showing one more band over Chesco and Montco that if it hangs together, might give one more brief round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was fizzling fast but at least am under some moderate rain right now. So far added about 0.1" to my 1/4" round 1 total. Was trying hard not to water the plants today so the rain could do it for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Looks like I'm all done. Picked up another 0.15" from round 2 and finished up just under 0.4" total. Nothing convective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 No thunder and .4" My growing season is effectively done now I like dry weather and slow grass. Strangely bizzare my grass is lush and green and quick growing this month, with just 1.65" of water. Only thing I can come up with is the extreme humidity keeps it growing like air plants in Florida. Typically a summer month with this little rain means browning dead grass and few cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 DP (72F), temp (71.8F) currently. Get that drier air in here! All the critters are out in full force....happy to receive a little rain I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
