NE Philly has been under a heavy blob for awhile that has been generating lots of lightning to boot! On the northern edge of another blob here, coming down pretty good. Hanging out under a holy tent, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Wow. Someone in Elam, Delco reported about a station in Bethel Twp (south of you Kamu) getting 4.65" rain in 90 minutes! I'm currently getting a little light rain at the moment (0.01" on top of my 0.19" for an event total of 0.20" so far). Temp is 78 with a dp of 75, so a steam bath.

KamuSnow Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Wound up with about 1.5" here. So this is how the water runoff is supposed to look, with everything just about restored from a couple of weeks ago. I put some piles of dirt out earlier, to rake in some gouged out spots for reseeding, but that won't happen today! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I said 1.5", think it was closer to 2" here. Elam is about 1/4 mile from here, I had to look it up the 1st time I saw it in a severe t'storm warning, lol.

ChescoWx Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 AM Low 66.6 on VP and 65.8 on Ambient - just missed heavier rains to my west and south last evening. While it's been 2x normal rainfall this month here...nowhere near the all-time wettest August of 17.81" back in 1955....however some spots to the south and west are already into double digit rainfall for the month! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Just tapped 90 today and that will probably be the high. I did end up getting a bit more rain last night after 9 pm, adding an additional 0.09" in the bucket for a total yesterday of 0.29". Currently down to 88 with a dp of 72. Have been keeping an eye on the Laura track since it appears the cone has been really re-curving around to hit near our CWA (at least as of today - we still have the rest of the week to see the ultimate track for when the remnants are progged to arrive here).

Lady Di Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I'm hoping she doesn't keep ticking westward -that will be devastating for Houston. And Galveston. It's going to be a bad one for a lot of people not to discount Louisana. At least it is forecast to move and not hang around like Harvey did. Not looking forward to more storms later. At least if winds knock my power out again, it's a cold front from the northwest for a day of dew points in the 50s, won't need the AC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I had caught some snapshots of the radar yesterday afternoon and one around 6 pm seemed to illustrate what happened - the pop-ups were streaming far north and somewhat south of the CWA. It was almost completely clear in between. Otherwise I did manage to hit 90 as a high yesterday and come this morning, the dews in the mid-upper 50s made this a polar opposite morning when compared to yesterday at this time. Currently 68, after a low of 66, and mostly sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 f the summer (Jun-Aug) ended today this would be our 18th warmest summer since 1894 with an average temperature at 73.8.
