Hurricane Agnes Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 4 hours ago, RedSky said: Yeah yesterday was suppose to be the most comfortable going off the Friday forecasts but ended up hotter. Today actually turned out to be the "comfortable" day with dews in the mid-upper 50s. But I think we're done with days like this until probably September. Currently 83 after a high of 87 here today, with scattered cirrus clouds and plane-generated contrails most of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingFlakes Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Loving these sunny days! Took full advantage of the weather a went to lbi, nj on saturday to skimboard. Swell was nice, especially once the tide eased off toward sun down. Really fun skimming. Water was super warm too, and I've never seen so many stingray's in my life, and I've been to stingray city in grand Cayman. They were everywhere swimming in flocks through the waves. Big ones too at least 2 feet wide. Any word on the remnants of barry, I saw a couple days ago some models had the low going right over the region. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 It hit 90 just after noon time here today and is creeping up. The dp was higher earlier this morning (mid-60s) but has mixed out some thanks to an occasional few puffs of breeze and dropped to the low 60s. Currently 90 with almost all blue sky except for a few small cumulus starting to form off to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were big Cownose rays. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Managed to briefly make it up to 93 here today with enough mixing to keep the dews in check in the low 60s. I expect that ends tonight and definitely tomorrow. Currently 89 and partly sunny with a high deck of clouds starting to move in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingFlakes Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Small squall line rolling through not too breezy and just starting to rain. Good bit of lightning and thunder too. I like a nice evening summer thunder storm, cools things off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Back edge is coming through now but eventually got over 1"/hr rates with a gully washer but just for a couple minutes. So far have 0.25" from it (at post time) and the temps were knocked down almost 10 degrees to 73. That + hot asphalt, hot cement, hot brick and stone, and hot metal will = sauna for the next couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtd208 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 A little surprised to see Mt.Holly only have a high in the lower 90's for my area on Friday in their updated zone forecast this morning. I think that is a little low IMO but we'll see. Also there is a Flash Flood Watch in effect here from this afternoon thru late tonight for localized rainfall amounts of 2-4" possible.

My windows are steamed up and it's 77 with dps in the mid-70s. The only thing that makes it "not too bad" at the moment (had to go outside and add some nectar to my hummingbird feeder) is that the sun isn't blazing yet here due to a high deck of clouds. Soon as that sun emerges, look out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Also have a slight risk for parts of the area today. Main threats today will be flooding rain with PWATs nearing 2 inches and a localized wet downburst threat with the heavy rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemwinder Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I've heard just one or two summer cicadas recently, but only at sunset. Is it too brutal for them in the daytime? Will be happy when this godawful steam bath has abated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started hearing them in the morning around July 4th here in Philly (just once) and then again in the morning a week ago the day before the heavy rain, and again yesterday morning and on/off during the day yesterday. Before that it was mainly in the late afternoon and early evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
