Hurricane Agnes Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Looking at my data, I had about 5 minutes worth (from 2:09 pm - 2:14 pm) of 4.82"/hr rates! You would think at this time of the evening, the convection would start dying out but it keeps coming. Still 70 and overcast here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that! Did Norman include any NJ counties? I'm in the Princeton/w Windsor area, and storms were passing by closely, but we got nary a drop. Of course, I'm in Mercer County. The NJ warning I saw did not have Mercer County, but the radar looked bad. I seemed to be in that big doughnut hole, and then cells started collapsing on radar. BTW, I've had some rain in the past week. Measured at least 2 inches, but the rain hits my deck broadside, so not sure how accurate that is.

I'm probably located around where the "e" is in "Princeton" on that map. Mercer County is not on the list you provided with the Mt. Holly warning. I did experience the outflow winds noted on radar earlier. Weather has become less boring of late. . . PS meant to say: map shows the influx of nice (to me) ocean air that cooled us off over here, storm or no storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 That was a fascinating storm to watch develop last evening! Got down to 68°F by ~9pm and has stayed there pretty much all night.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Ended up with another hundredth of an inch around 8 pm last night and final total was 3.13" for that wild event.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Mt. Holly tweeted an animation of that excitement from yesterday - Although it didn't get as hot here as yesterday (I just barely tapped 90 today), the dews were awful and it was pretty rough the brief times I was outside. Currently 80, mostly cloudy and soupy.. and I saw some pop-ups that formed in Montco and Bucks within the past couple hours moving SW --> NE into Jersey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I've been outside working in this heat for two weeks, and today it finally broke 90°F. However the strangest thing is that I think I've become acclimatized to it! Sure, you still sweat a lot, but I don't feel nearly as wiped out right now as I did after last Wednesday. Then again, my job isn't particularly strenuous and my company looks out for us by providing plenty of breaks, water, and shade to escape to. Sure feel sorry for the guys working on our apartment complex's roofs this week though... Looking forward to a 3-day weekend kicked off by our coastal!

Tropical Storm Fay is currently off the Outer Banks. It is expected to progress north over our region through Friday. Heavy rain is possible beginning very late tonight and continuing through Friday evening. The threat for tropical storm winds over land is very low except right along the New Jersey coast. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * FLOODING RAIN: Protect against locally hazardous rainfall flooding having possible limited impacts along and southeast Interstate 95 corridor. Potential impacts include: - Localized rainfall flooding may prompt a few evacuations. - Rivers and tributaries may quickly rise with swifter currents. Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos, and ditches may become swollen and overflow in spots. - Flood waters can enter a few structures, especially in usually vulnerable spots. A few places where rapid ponding of water occurs at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage areas. Several storm drains and retention ponds become near-full and begin to overflow. Some brief road and bridge closures. * TORNADOES: Protect against a tornado event having possible limited impacts across New Jersey... and southeastern Pennsylvania. Potential impacts include: - The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the execution of emergency plans during tropical events. - A few places may experience tornado damage, along with power and communications disruptions. - Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings, chimneys toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned, large tree tops and branches snapped off, shallow-rooted trees knocked over, moving vehicles blown off roads, and small boats pulled from moorings. * WIND: Protect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across coastal New Jersey. Potential impacts in this area include: - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about. - Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over. - A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on bridges and other elevated roadways. - Scattered power and communications outages. Elsewhere across the region, little to no impact is anticipated. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS ---------------------------------- * OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: Rapidly rising flood waters are deadly. If you are in a flood-prone area, consider moving to higher ground. Never drive through a flooded roadway. Remember, turn around don`t drown! Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather radio or local news outlets for official storm information. Be ready to adapt to possible changes to the forecast. Ensure you have multiple ways to receive weather warnings. * ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION: - For information on appropriate preparations see ready.gov - For information on creating an emergency plan see getagameplan.org - For additional disaster preparedness information see redcross.org NEXT UPDATE ----------- The next local statement will be issued by the National Weather Service in Mount Holly NJ around 11 PM, or sooner if conditions warrant. $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I actually made it up to 91 today surprisingly because it didn't look like it was going to do it but it did - right after ~3:15 pm. Currently partly cloudy to the north but starting to cloud up to the south, and 87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
