Thought it would miss me to the NW, but I got clipped by it. I'd say about 20-30 minutes of heavy rain that produced .60" here. I feel so bad for the folks who got hammered yesterday. I saw interviews with people who said they've lived there for decades and never experience flooding. That's what 8"-10" in a few hours will do. Haven't heard of any loss of life, so that's a positive. 71F/DP 70F Yep. I think there's an option to turn them off but I was in a panic to try to grab the screen in case my power went out.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I made it up to 88 around 3:15 pm, a couple hours after the sun came out and then self-destructed. It's currently mostly cloudy and 83 with dp 77. Not much on the radar nearby except for some stray cells out west that form and then dissipate.

I did a screenie of the site last night about 7:45 pm just to pinpoint where the activity was at that time based on how my sensor was reacting (and I usually use them to confirm in any case).

CoolHandMike Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 It's absolutely atrocious outside right now. My wife and I tried to do some simple yard work just now (clearing out some overgrown weeds behind my shed) and we were both completely drenched with sweat after only 10 minutes. Had to call it quits. And here I was, thinking I'd become acclimatized to this. Ha ha ha nope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember the last time we've been under such a consecutive streak of possible severe days. you are spot on. But in retrospect, I have had only an inch or so of rain and very little severe t- storms in western lehigh County during the entire time. Even those rains occurred overnight in dying diurnal t storms only to refire near Philly to the SE or northern NJ to the NE the next day. I swear this situation is just like winter snow storms. The severe t storms have been very localized too. What I have noticed is a persistent pattern of t storms firing up in the areas between Altoona and State College in the afternoon and racing up through NY in the last three days. Any that come east of Williamsport have either died out or missed SE PA. That 10 inch rain in Bucks county came from a dying and training t- storm yesterday. That was very telling of of the lack of steering winds in our area too from the stalled fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the outflow boundary of that convective complex washed over my area and my temp is down to 77 with dp 74. Pretty dramatic change in a relative sense! SnagIt is great but those animated gifs are a killer on this site's attachment limit (I think 40MB?) I would post animated gifs but would have to empty my attachment "trash can" every other day.

I would post animated gifs but would have to empty my attachment "trash can" every other day. Your image is 4.55MB... Yeah they have an option to reduce the size and I later realized how to edit the captured video to save just one initial multi-frame loop (which for a later attempt, was for 3 seconds covering about 12 frames) and then have it set to loop itself. Doing that would also allow a higher res version for not much difference in size. I have the super duper membership so I can actually upload up to 19 Mb-sized files (since I like doing the hurricane sat loops), but I know I can clear out some of the older stuff too. That one I posted was sortof testing doing it. My low this morning was 72 and I'm currently overcast and 75 with dp 73. We seem to be in a similar situation as yesterday morning (including fog here earlier), where we are mostly under the influence of the troughy part of the front. But once that lifts up again, look out. I have a feeling that the sun might be out earlier today than it was here yesterday (which didn't happen until the early afternoon).

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 The sun broke out "early" (vs yesterday) around 9:30, and the temp is now slowly creeping up. Currently mostly sunny with scattered cumulus and 78, with dp 73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Temp is up to 88 at noon, but the dp is "only 72" (and not 77/78) so...

JTA66 Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 Only got to 88F today. Clouds have since moved in and am now sitting at 86F. I’m hoping I can get under one the those stray showers to keep the lawn green for a while longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathernut85 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I’m gonna try to ignore that pop up storm by West Chester that fizzled out on its way to me here at the 3-way juncture of Philly, Delco, and Montco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Getting a neighborhood shower here, most rain since last Thursday night (about 0.10"). Not much but nice nonetheless! High here was 91F today, and it was a touch less humid which was slightly noticeable. Eta - wound up with 0.21" of rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hard to believe there are people in this region with dry problems. It's been a veritable rain forest locally since Memorial Day weekend. CoCoRahs are running near twice normal. Weather World 30 day outlook has the frequent rain pattern continuing, for some? Also, regular discussion of being near the top performer in 90F days in the NYC region, and yet July is on pace to finish...below normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 My low this morning was 73 with none of the stratus/fog experienced the last 2 mornings. Am currently mostly sunny and up to 80, with a noticeably higher dp of 73 (although I understand it's progged to mix out later ahead of the blast to come tomorrow and over the weekend).

Not sure if anyone is having dry problems, it's just been real feast or famine since last Friday. Lots of action, but not for everyone. Too much in some spots, and longing radar watching from others, lol. Here we've had 0.25" since last Friday, but 3.41" total for July, so it's not dry here anyway. About the temperatures, it would be nice to have historical dewpoint data, I'm sure these days we're above normal dewpoint-wise, and that's become pretty typical for July and August. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half way into July my backyard station shows an average DP of 68.1°F. Might be worth it to try to find some data from years past in my area, but from a quick glance it appears that DP is a couple of degrees higher on average than this time last year.
