Hurricane Agnes Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I was just going through some of the earlier radar shots an apparently there was a report of a water spout off the coast near Tom's River. As an obs, it finally hit 80 here and still overcast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely the geek option. Did reach 82 here today, but that's gone now with the current downpour. Now at 78. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like there's a C-2-C strike top right. And just below that on the horizon there's a bit of light, but can't really say if it's lightning in the distance or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely that IC strike, but I think the one near the horizon is just a light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Picked up 1.35" of rain so far today from storms overnight and earlier this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 OMFG the thing that was hitting the NE and southern Bucksco pivoted around to here. I saw it moving this way but I HAD to go out and do some errands (and had a damn truck parked such that I couldn't get out). When it finally moved and I zoomed out, as soon as I pulled in the lot to the post office, gully washer. I did bring my umbrella because I knew it was coming and had hoped to beat it, but nope. Lots of ponding in parking lots and streams running down streets. Anyway, between 2:30 pm and post time, I got another 0.63" of rain for a daily total of 2.28" (so far). The max rate here hit 1.77"/hr. Currently light rain and 73. ETA - added the radar shot when I was in the parking lot of the little shopping complex right near me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Was outside last night around 10 pm fruitlessly comet-hunting and pretty much failing due to the continual cirrus cloud presence and not only heard my first crickets but my first katydid. So we are now officially in the depths of summer. It has been humid as slop, both last night and this morning. Current temp is 83 with a horrible 76 dewpoint and partly sunny.

ChescoWx Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Here in Western Chester County PA through yesterday the average temperature for July 2020 is at 76.0. If the month ended today that would be the 22nd warmest July since 1894. We have a great shot to finish with a top 20 warmest July...however a top 10 is unlikely. Below are the 5 hottest July's on record 1999 - 80.0 / 1901 - 79.2 / 1955 - 78.9 / 1921 - 78.8 / 1944 - 78.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a brutal hot and dry summer, with a bad drought that finally broke in the fall. https://www.drought.gov/drought/states/pennsylvania Currently 92 and mostly sunny. Am guessing I am "officially" starting a new heatwave period! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Made it up to 93 today but fortunately the dews did drop a bit by the afternoon, so it wasn't like last night and earlier this morning. Currently 80 with lots of comet-blocking cirrus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
