Newman Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Storms coming in from the west forming a nice bowing line segment. Much of the area should be impacted through the rest of the afternoon, especially the further west you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Had near constant thunder preceding the line that just came through. Then it poured enough to completely overwhelm the gutters (again!). I think we even had a brief moment of pea-sized hail towards the end as well. Was reading 89.3° right before I went out to check on things; now it's down to 69.4° F. Holy temperature gradient, batman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Made it up to 93 earlier (not as hot as yesterday but higher dp) but the overcast has dropped the temp down to 89 now. Will be hitting here shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Getting the seven-ten split here as the best of these storms are passing to my north and south. The most impressive part was the gust front, but even that was probably only in the 30-35mph range. Nothing more than a heavy shower with some thunder & lightning. Maxed out at 88F again, down to 79F now. Looks like the 18Z NAM wants to bring another line through later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Gust front has been coming through and got some mammatus clouds and greenage preceding that. Temp has dropped down to 86 with the winds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Looks like it was falling apart as it came over here in NW Philly. Must have hit the hills here and got disrupted. Have had some occasional thunder but am not seeing any lightning. Winds have been gusty but not excessive and the rain has been more garden-variety thundershower, not gully washer. Currently at 0.08" of rain so far. Temp is down to 79. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Seven-ten split here too, been getting hitting good just to the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Looks like it's about done and the sun is trying to pop out to the west. Ended up with 0.14" rain from that. Glad a I deep watered early this morning. lol It did drop the temp down to 69 so that's pretty amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtd208 Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 One of the craziest storms in a while here. Had winds of 50+ mph w/heavy rain, also alot of tree branches down in town with some wires down/power outages etc. High for the day was 94,picked up 0.57" of rain so far today.

Rtd208 Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 Looks like more heat similar to what we just had coming up mid/late this week with a chance of rain/storms. Mt.Holly: .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Synoptic Overview: The mid-lvl low will have cleared the area by the start of the period, and generally zonal mid-lvl flow will then prevail for most of the extended as the area finds itself on the northern periphery of an increasing flat ridge centered over the SE US. Active weather will largely be driven diurnally-driven convection aided by weak convectively- enhanced waves interacting with nearby weak thermal boundaries. Specifics regarding precipitation chances are difficult in this regime as precipitation will largely be in the form of diurnal convection with dynamic forcing being weak due to a lack of appreciable height/temperature gradients (and resulting flow). Dailies: Monday... Monday will likely be the nicest day of the week as high pressure briefly builds in SW of the area. High temperatures will generally be in the 80s (with dewpoints only reaching around 60) with limited clouds, and fairly light winds. Tuesday... A weak shortwave will approach the area on Tuesday bringing a chance of showers and perhaps thunderstorms. Last night`s 00Z guidance were in fairly good agreement that this system would be fairly weak and arrive Tuesday morning. The Euro and Canadian still retain this solution, however the NAM and GFS have trended slower with the system, holding off until Tuesday afternoon/evening. This would potentially lead to stronger precipitation due to better diurnal-convective timing. Although I added slight Chc.PoPs Tuesday PM to account for these new solutions, generally left higher PoPs (still only Chc.) for Tuesday AM. High temperatures will run about 5 degrees warmer than Monday with winds remaining light. Wednesday... Moisture will be on the increase into Wednesday however guidance is not in agreement on if it will yet be sufficient to initiate diurnal convection Wednesday PM (therefore went with only Slight Chc. PoPs) Temperatures will remain warm with highs generally in the 90s outside of the coast and higher elevation areas. Thursday-Saturday... Sufficient Moisture (PWATs near or above 2 inches, dewpoints at or above 70) should be present by the end of the week to support (at least) scattered afternoon thunderstorms each day. It will also become increasing muggy and heat indices approaching 100 will be possible for portions of the urban corridor Friday and Saturday. On the plus side (after the last couple of days) the organized severe threat looks limited due to very weak flow (at all levels). Given the abundant moisture and weak flow there may be somewhat of a hydro threat, however, it is currently too far out to say for sure. && Upton: .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... Region will be on the northern edge of southern ridging, with a relatively active flow mid to late week. Models signaling flattening of the ridge this weekend as Hudson`s Bay low begins to slide into Quebec and exert more influence on Great lakes and Northeast. Generally increasingly warm and humid conditions Wed through Fri, with a low to moderate potential for heat indices to reach 95 degrees for NYC/NJ metro and surroundings Thursday thru Saturday. Potential for afternoon convection Thu and Fri. At this point, the bulk of this convective activity and even possible MCS`s appear more likely to the south of the area, based on ridge orientation, but will have to monitor. Better chance for organized convection may come next weekend with approach of cold front, but low predictability this far out. && Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 That Canadian high meant some business and dropped me down overnight to a low of 62. It did recover quickly though and it's currently 83 and gorgeous out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemwinder Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 This 82 year old lurker thanks you all for your observations and remarks. For me, Summer is official when I hear the first Cicada sing. Then it gets better when the katydids start later on, at night. Welcome to the new, hotter Summers. - Still waiting for the cicada. - cheers - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always like seeing him doing something. If he's just staring at the TV or isolating I get worried. Agree about the Cicada and katydids....I haven't heard anything yet. Their sound just screams summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually made it up to 85 yesterday and the dews stayed below 60 so a really nice day. Today is a different story where the dp is @ 63 and slowly climbing with a temp of 91. Have been seeing on and off cirrus clouds overhead earlier today but now the cumulus is coming in from the south and it's getting a little hazy, but still mostly sunny. Summer = lightning bugs, crickets, cicadas, and katydids for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Small but powerful storm just blew through. Completely different from the last time, where there was literally continuous rumbling thunder throughout the event; this time there was a whole lot of flickering and very little thunder... until the storm passed by. Now my apartment is shaking from the thunder every minute or so. Torrential rain once again overwhelmed the gutters. Cooled right off though, which is nice. 70.5°F and 89% RH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Pretty vigorous storm here, had everything except hail. Lots of lightning and thunder, pretty gusty winds. Picked up 0.90" of rain in about 30 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was warned here, but the winds imby weren't much over 40, which I'm okay with due to liking the tall trees! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
