Yes interested! When I was young (1970 I believe) we had one that was close to 95% and I remember writing down observations -  the birds got quiet, the temperature dropped about 5 degrees, and of course it got kind of early duskish dark. Pretty cool. Not sure what to expect from 75% but I'll be checking it out.

It'll be 80% down here, or .80 magnitude.  I'm excited

Quakertown to perkasie should keep a close eye on this storm coming in. weak couplet currently showing up near red hill and the cell is isolated out ahead of the main line. I wouldn't be surprised to see this thing drop a weak tor at a moment's notice with the instability and shear in place.

Rain from the line is pretty much done.  Rec'd 0.67" from that event to bring today's total to 0.72".  There's another batch of lighter rain just west of here that may add to the total.  Currently 73F and overcast to the east & clearing to the west... I did see a cloud-to-cloud lightning when I was outside briefly to check conditions.

Just got in the door about 10 minutes ago.  Horrible out there and it's now like an early eclipse - dark.  Line is on my doorstep.  Temp is 83F with dp 73.  Some incredible mammatus clouds out there headed for Jersey.  Getting lightning and some thunder and it's just starting to rain a bit.

What a nice show, gad I had the chance to catch it.

Interesting radar presentation from sellersville to lansdale. Looks fun.

Yeah, the radar looked pretty impressive as the storms approached. In fact, it looked like it was bowing out some, I thought I was going to get smacked. But it was one of those cases where the wx didn't match the radar.

(I've always wondered how accurate those "doppler indicated" reports really are??)

That's disappointing, I thought anybody under that feature was getting smashed.
