Wow - nice! I wonder if that's the storm that woke me up around 11:30. Lots of lightning and thunder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Figured the stuff out west would move this way but wasn't sure how much it would hang together but it did (mainly because of the front moving it along). The lightning/thunder woke me up around midnight and deposited 0.09" just before 1 am and the on and off light rain has deposited another 0.05" since, with a total of 0.14" at post time. Was able to grab a snapshot of that stuff that woke me up. Currently misty and 73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Picked up 0.65" of rain so far today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Got a couple hundreds more of light rain this morning and the sky has been brightening and finished up (so far) with 0.17" from overnight and earlier this morning. Currently bright overcast and 74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Well the bright overcast didn't last long and I'm getting rain again. Just as I typed this, the skies opened up and a pop-up blew up right over me with almost 1"/hr rates. Currently 75 with a rain shower. In the meantime, this morning offered the rare opportunity to turn the oven on and get a casserole in and out, and not have to worry about long-lasting house-as-furnace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Well this thing evolved into a little thunderstorm with just over 2"/hr rates. Already have 0.66" added onto my last report (total 0.83" day total now at post time). I suppose when it crosses the Delaware River to Jersey, it'll finally get an SPS there.

JTA66 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I was unable to get an accurate total of last night's rain, but I was getting 3.60" rates per hour and it was coming down like that for 30-40 minutes. Ponding in the basement this morning, I've got the dehumidifier running down there. 75F/DP 74. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Another intensified cell just blew up and threw me past the 1" rain mark total (since midnight) for today. Currently at 1.17" (1.00" at post time more since just after midnight) with temp 74 and heavy rain. ETA - now at 1.29" (2"/hr rates again) for the day and with the antecedent wet conditions, this may cause ponding and whatnot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been out but I know some places right down the street (and hill) from me that tend to flood with rain rates like that. I got 1.48" of rain between about 9:20 am and 10:20 am where I am (Chestnut Hill). The highest rate on my station was 2.41"/hr at 10:09 am.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Kinda delayed based on how often the USGS gauge updates on the Wissahickon (the "at the mouth" gauge which is where it comes out into the Schuylkill) but it is starting to register whatever is flowing into it (11 am update) - I don't live that far from the Cresheim Creek (which is a feeder to the Wissahickon Creek) and that little creek runs at the bottom of several hills and floods Cresheim Valley Drive all the time with even just run-of-the-mill heavy rain.
