Hurricane Agnes Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Had a high of 85 yesterday and a low of 64 this morning. Currently 72 & overcast after a pretty red/multi-color sunrise. A lot of hype going with this as I popped by the state store this morning and the cashier guy was even talking about it. Trying to get whatever "outside" stuff I needed to get done, done (getting some plants in), so I can cocoon. You can clearly see it coming up from the south - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been struggling to find a decent one ever since they changed the old WU maps to their newer, crudier version. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is from GRLevel 3 (v2) - http://www.grlevelx.com/grlevel3_2/ It's a pay product but it is pretty cool. It polls data from all the major radar sites (selectable) and you can play around with various displays, etc. It's primarily a radar product.

CoolHandMike Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Thanks Agnes! After losing power for an extended time twice this year, I bit the bullet and bought a generator and a portable A/C yesterday as soon as I saw the forecasts ticking up past 2" of rain for today... My wife and I are caregivers for my mother-in-law, and it's reassuring to finally have a fallback solution other than driving an hour to my parents' house every time the power goes out. Gotta run out soon and get longer extension cords though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta run out soon and get longer extension cords though. I hear ya! Had to do that role too although fortunately my mom was just a couple miles away (she passed away a few years ago). What is also good about that program is that it has an option to display any LSRs so you can see what types of hazards are being reported in various locations (including amount of rain/snow/ice, street flooding, trees down, severe winds causing damage, etc). Hoping we won't have that type of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the heavy stuff is off to the west so far but the low is still down off the coast of NC, probably tearing up the beaches down there.

Actually I remember going there as a kid w/my parents—you couldn’t touch anything. You’d give your order to the guy at the counter and he’d go in the back and get it for you.

First off, I don't like wine that much and like you said it's too long to say. Growing up and into my 20s it was either "State store" or "Liquor store" To this day I call it "Liquor store"...it gets right to the point.

The "liquor store" meant over the bridge in Jersey. lol When I was in college up in Massachusetts, they called it the "package store" and you "made a packie run". As a weather note, I saw that the Flood Watch has been expanded way west. It will be interesting to see if that low actually hugs the coast or just goes on and comes inland and north. The MW low may really be impacting it and there was some question about whether the two would merge although probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Wow 12z ECM has bumped up wind potential in east Jersey to 50 here and 60+ Sandy Hook into Long Island. But just like a winter storm it's happening in the early morning hours i will miss the high surf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Same here, not much rain but the clouds are absolutely booking it to the west over my house right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 It's almost like a remnant of a subtropical storm although with cooler temps. The rain has come in fits and starts. Most of the heavier stuff so far is south and west of here. The coastal hasn't moved very much and is hanging around the NC/VA border. The dps have gone up though so it is a bit juicy. Current temp here is 66 and the rain totals are just below 1/4" so far (0.22") with light rain going on and breezy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliz299 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Down this way as of 7pm 1.94" for the day. Just a random drop now and then happening now. Peak wind gust E39mph at 2:19pm. Wind much lighter now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Steady light rain and breezy, .23" in the bucket, 65F / DP 63F....a heavier batch moving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Rain started in earnest here around noon, 0.85" so far, some gusts into the 20's recently. Looking at the radar it looks like the low center is moving up the Chesapeake, also looks like a bit of a dry slot coming this way. 65F here currently.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Finally made it to 1/4" about 20 minutes ago (now up to 0.27" as the rain has started to pick up a little again), which took a bit over 4 hours to achieve once the rain started in earnest around 3 pm. lol Temp is 66 with breezes out of the SE.
