JTA66 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Got a thundershower rolling through atm, nothing severe. Temp down to 77F after a high of 86F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 This next line looks rather ominous. The temp has dropped down to 74 so not sure if that has stabilized things a bit here or whether that holds together all the way in. I did pick up 0.06" of rain from being fringed by some popups. ETA - just as I posted, Mt. Holly extended the severe thunderstorm warning for my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drove through some of that on the 30 going west about a half hour ago. There was some pea-sized hail mixed in and it was raining so hard I almost had to pull over since my wipers couldn't clear it fast enough. Lots of other ppl did pull over and I managed to get off at the business 30 exit (Downingtown) where it stopped raining almost instantly. Went from driving in a washing machine to sunny and hot in less than 1/8th of a mile. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went from driving in a washing machine to sunny and hot in less than 1/8th of a mile. Crazy. Still have light rain here at the moment but not like the earlier gully washer (with a bit over 1.5"/hr rates). It amounted to (so far) an additional 0.29" for a total of 0.35". I.e., the cells sortof suddenly bubbled up and intensified but are moving fast, so not sitting over an area for extended time - at least where I am and with this current line. I did hear of a tree down a few miles southeast of me (per a traffic report) so something must have gusted enough to do that. I did hear a loud crack of thunder after a pretty significant lightning bolt just before the line actually got here so it could be it got hit with lightning but I'm not sure (something got hit though). Fortunately where that happened was literally 1/2 block from a fire station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingFlakes Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Just a few short showers/sprinkles not even a drizzle out at York today. I think pville got fringed by that line rolling through the area now. Hoping it stays dry so I can skateboard. Been going everyday after work for past couple weeks with the dry weather.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Sun is out and I ended up with a total of 0.37" of rain from that round. It did knock the temp down to the currently 73 here though so there's that! It was a noisy storm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Got a decent sized pop-up hovering in place just to my north. I'm hoping it comes down here so I don't have to go outside and water the garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Recorded 0.98" of rain last evening for the month up to 7.59" which is 2.92" above normal. Temp wise we ended July with an average temp of 76.0 (+4.1 above normal). This also marks the 9th straight month of above normal readings - last below normal month was November 2018. This is the warmest July since the 77.0 back in 2011. It is also the 6th warmest July since 1983 (warmest was the 80.0 in 1999) All-time this is the 21st warmest July since local records began back in 1894 - the 2nd warmest was the 79.2 way back in 1901 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Ugh, when is this pattern gonna break. Another night of near-miss blob storms. It's like they all evaporate as soon as they get near Rt. 30. I wonder if our extremely localized heat island has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemwinder Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 summer cicadas have been singing in chorus every morning these days. Don't need a lot of heat to get them singing. Won't mind a cool spell one bit if it comes. It's August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Hearing rockin' and rollin' nearby - about 3 - 4 miles to my west. Have been watching the cell blossom from its birth in Delco and move further north and northeast just under me. It's gotten pretty dark and is currently 80. It's pretty noisy.
