Hurricane Agnes Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 So far got 0.39" out of that this morning. Am not sure if that stuff out west will continue moving this way or if it will start clearing and heating up the soup. There are a couple little pop-ups that formed over Roxborough/Manyunk that might swipe me. Currently 74 and misty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Tacked on another .05" this morning. Looks like another line forming to the west of Agnes and Kamu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 And sure enough, those little pop-ups have been coming right over me and so far (at post time), deposited another 0.19" in a >1"/hr heavy shower (total for the event now at 0.58"). This time, it looked like it wanted to be hail but had melted before hitting the ground, thus the huge rain drops (which is something that has been more common here the past decade or so - the exception being earlier this month where I actually had hail make it to the ground). There appears to be another line that formed just to the west that might hit here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 And the sun tried to pop out briefly about 15 minutes ago but is more in and out now. Meanwhile that line to the west is holding together and barrelling this way, so it'll end up being like self-destruct sunshine soon! Currently mostly cloudy with breaks of sun, and 75.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 And that band held together and is passing over me now. Getting a heavy shower, with an additional 0.12" at post time, for an event total of 0.70" and it's 77. Looks like that might be it for this morning as it looks clear to the west.

KamuSnow Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Got 1.25" yesterday evening, missed one to the north earlier, but the thunder was cool, and just had a shower, nothing really measurable. Sun coming out, 79F and super muggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 And looks like that is it for the morning (so far). Finished up with another 0.02" for a morning total of 0.72", Currently partly sunny and 77. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 It feels like a Brazil rain forest. Peak nasty. Who remembers just several days ago this was to be the start of a significant cool down? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECM had a several day stretch of low 80's starting today as recently as last Saturday, and the GFS had it for a week. The cool down is now 2 days with normal temps Fri-Sat and back in the 90's Sunday. Last July 5th hottest this one on track for #1 looking at the extended, we cook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep on pumping that heat out over the Atlantic warming those waters. We are in line for a cat 3-4 runner up the east coast and a 4-5 Florida to North Carolina mid August to September 15th. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenCtyWx Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I would only really consider a cool down to be high temperatures below 85 and dew points below 60 at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Di Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 temp 86/dp 76/rh 72%. Disgusting despite the lower air temps today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I think today will break my 6-day streak of 90+ days. The rain and overcast this morning seemed to work its magic. So far today, my high has been 88 and we're getting to what is usually the hottest part of the day. Of course that rain helped to feed the sauna. My basils love it though! Currently 88 and partly sunny with some possible pop-ups that appear to be moving this way from the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see that but I believe you. Now it's summer as usual, hot and humid with temps 90 to 95, and a weekly cool down into the upper 80's that lasts about a day and a half like Kevin said. I hope we get surprised and it breaks early like last year, starting in mid August as opposed to mid September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some Italian basil, Thai basil, and Holy basil that I started from seed this past spring, but were delayed going out into my vegtrug raised bed planter because of the winter-in-May that we had (couple days of frosts/freezes around Mother's Day). But in this environment, they are just basking in the heat and humidity. Of course the lettuce bolted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
