Holly ruled out a tornado in that case - http://nj1015.com/did-a-tornado-touchdown-in-south-jersey/ I know they have to look at the damage pattern to confirm either way. That was the same day we lost a big old black cherry tree here (straight line winds). Using the trunk for a planter for now, have canna lillies growing in it this year :-).

KamuSnow Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Picked up 1.07" of rain here today, never came down real hard, but a nice rain - plant life continues to be very happy. 68F currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking at my old records and that was a frontal passage... unleashed a downpour with a lot of lightning around here. My temps dropped 20 degrees in an hour late afternoon, but resulted in a beautiful sunset that evening. The last little line of rain finally exited (has been drizzling the past hour or so). Ended up with 0.85" for the event. Currently 68F and mostly cloudy but clearing, with a nice sunset making a valiant attempt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Climate summary for today Hi/Lo Chester County 75.2/63.6 and Sea Isle City 78.2/67.3 about 7 degrees below our normal high here in Chester County. Through the 1st eight days of the month we are running 3.1 degrees below normal. Appears mighty likely that Chester County will finish with just 1 day above 90 all summer. Either way likely we finish with less than 5 days above 90 degrees for the 7th time in the last 15 years and lowest such days since the back to back zero 90+ days in the summers of both 2014 and 2015.

RedSky Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I have terrible soil here in the Unami forrest I tell people it's cursed because it's Indian burial ground, strangely the only thing that grows well is pumpkins. I had to abandon the south garden area everything dies there. My soil in Horsham was nasty looking heavy red clay and things grew like the garden of Eden, here the soil is like black forest cake that is full of disease and poison.

Birds~69 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Looking ahead...I'm beginning to think we may have seen our last 90F+ day till next year for many of us? (maybe 1 or 2 more) 59.9F / DP 58F at 5:45am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Nah we will have a couple more surges of heat before the warm season is over approaching 90F In other news the modeled very wet period of Friday through Monday that looked like 1-2" rain potential has fallen apart now looks closer to .50" at best. Everything rides on weather or not I water my plants, if i water we are sure to exceed .50" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily 1"+ plus in most areas through Monday...perhaps start a Fri through Mon thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love for that to bear out, and even though this summer has been awesome overall for lack of excessive heat and for ample rainfall, I'm a little cautious based on highs in the 90's the last two Septembers (in the first 2 weeks of the month). Both years it was hot (and dry) until the 15th followed by a 2 week period for reseeding the lawn followed by 3" plus of rain on the 29th - 30th. Doubtful it will repeat, but it left a mark, lol.

ChescoWx Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Climate summary today here in Chester County Hi/Lo 77.7/63.9 while down in Sea Isle City NJ 78.0/68.4 Currently cloudy with showers about 40 miles west of Chesco while as you see below Sunny and 76.6 in SIC - steady sea breeze all day down there! I am feeling mighty confident that here in beautiful Chester County we will now end the summer of 2017 with just 1 day above 90 all year - and that 90 on June 13th was before summer officially began - ya gotta love climate change!

(Or Sept in general) Maybe a day or two 90 or so but I see summer just fading to fall w/o a fight. Radar active...hopefully something fades my way.

RedSky Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Huge gap on the radar in SEPA is because I didn't water my plants today. Funny the NAM has been showing a split like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the above normal rainfall of the summer this very same shaft zone keeps repeating, happened the last event for the first two rounds, the last round got us. No third round with this one I don't understand why the NAM shows nothing for tomorrow and the GFS is wet, but the NAM has been awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't say a week but several days. Looks like next Thurs night - Sat is our next best shot(s). Don't see any 90's on the horizon which is fine by me.
