stemwinder Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I'm no expert, but the front looks a lot weaker than the "bow waves" this time. Will appreciate a cooler day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will appreciate a cooler day or two. I think the first front is the weaker one with little or no temp change. But the second front is the stronger one that will drop the humidity levels down and bring in the Canadian air - which should knock the daytime temps back to near normal and night temps to below-normal (that is supposed to happen over the weekend). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Well, that random strike just took out the power. Loud! Currently have very orange skies and a sunset in one direction and dark skies with lightning crawling in the other. Wild looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was getting ready to post that the sun is trying to come out just as it is setting. I'm still getting light rain (plus assorted lightning and thunder) and am up to 2.20" so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtd208 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Up to 2.50" of rain for the day here. We have had quite a bit of flooding here in town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Looks like the last of the rain (at least what is showing up on radar) has now moved past me now and I ended up with 2.21". Temp is currently 69. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 1.50" on the dot here. Had a series of storms forming just south of here starting around 2:30 pm. A fair amount of lightning off and on over a 2 hour period, then when the main line came through, nasomuch. Active and interesting! Looking forward to lower dewpoints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBasile Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Only got 1.62 inches of rain yesterday. Haven't really had any impressive storms this year. Some big rain producers, but nothing even close to severe. Suprising considering the severity of so many other storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 GFS is at it again in the LR. Was showing a long 10-day stretch of sustained negative temp anomalies run after run after run. Slowly backed off of that idea and now looking like avg to AN temps with only a few BN brief appearances. The HL blocking and West-based -NAO has been a nice treat but why always in the summer anymore and never during winter? Has little impact in the summer other than helping us avoid 100F.

RedSky Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 So at the start of the week I looked at Mon-Thur and picked Tuesday as the best the weather day - fail it showered with the 20% chance and turned mostly cloudy and missed the high by 5F so got screwed Now of course all week Friday was looking primo perfect 85F and sunny. Naturally it's turned mostly cloudy and i see showers popping to the north lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try living where I am for the forseeable future. I had to move out to Phoenix to help out my aging mother, and last weekend it was 115 on Saturday and 117 on Sunday at her house. This weekend (with the monsoon around) the temps will be milder at 98-102. Now, as you all know, I don't care for winter and like it mild, and will love it out here in a couple months, but hot damn, temps pushing 120 during the summertime are HOT...

I have a friend who works construction in Phoenix and says the 100+ temps don't bother him a bit. Currently 59F at 5am and feels great outside.

As much as I love the warm/hot weather, I just don't think I could work outdoors out here. As a commercial driver it's not bad, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaware Valley Weather Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 54 for a low last night in Exton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 My location running a bit warmer this AM compared to surrounding obs at lower spots with a low of only 58.9 in East Nantmeal and 59.0 at KMQS - still good for our 1st sub 60 degree reading since July 1st. We will see average lows reaching the 50's starting on August 21st. Beautiful day on the way both in Chesco and down the Shore - looks like the sea breeze just kicked in after an AM high of 80.0 now down to 79 with the wind now turned to the SE here at the coast.

Newman Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Severe threat coming up Tuesday. Plenty of shear, low level jet will be in play, instability not too bad. Here is berks county area: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
