Hurricane Agnes Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Getting just over 2"/hr rates and am now at 0.53" since the rain started here. Not much wind to this but plenty of lightning and thunder. Temp got knocked down to 71 after a high of 85 earlier this morning (the day's high before the skies went overcast).

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The heaviest rain has now moved on to my northeast and so far got 0.59" out of it with the highest rain rate @ 2.55"/hr. That knocked the temp back to an amazing 67 which may end up being my low for the day (overnight and early morning low was originally 71)! Just getting a little light rain leftovers and the sky looks like it is clearing to my west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Once the sun came out and stayed out the rest of the afternoon, the temp managed to recover from that 67 low, right back up to 84 before falling off again as we head into the evening. Currently 82 and partly sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Pretty sweet looking system cranking through West Virginia right now. Looks pretty tightly wound, too. Could get interesting when the line sweeps through after a full day of summertime heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Anybody else having the problem of this website slowing the browser down to 300 baud 1997 speed basically useless but it works just fine on the phone? All other websites are good so it's not my computer. Been like this for two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Had to pop out to the store while there was a bit of a lull and even though it's 70 it is steamy too. Still getting some light rain and interestingly enough, still getting lightning (saw a few cloud-to-cloud bolts on the way back home) and getting the regular thunder as well. Am now up to 1.98" for the event so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And August is still less than 1 week old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
