Only 7.8" for the month though but you're right, let's see what the weekend brings! When I was looking at the radar returns the past couple hours, I saw all the flood reports all over and around the Reading metro area and after the earlier deluge (snapshot below from earlier), they still have the FFW up all around there.

I think it is due to the front that has been dropping in, with it sortof stalled around that area. The temp here has crept up and it is 75 now, after a low of 72, and dp 74.

May end up being like that through mid-week, although Tuesday may be the "dry" day before Ida. There's some weird flow going on - the bulk of the stuff backing in from the NE (I think there is a little low that formed) but then motion from the front coming out of the NW trying to push to the SE. The convergence is sparking that rain and keeping it from moving. I've been getting variable stratus and overcast with temp back down to 74 and a dp of 72, so something is trying to push into here.

Don't get me wrong, the worst day in the woodshop beats the best day at work, but the wife has commissioned several pieces of furniture that aren't going to build themselves, involving a whole lot of tedious joinery (completely my fault lol). Anyways, we've been gifted with a rare <80°F August day so spirits are up all around in my house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The rain has started up here again and got another 0.12" for 1.43" so far today. Currently have some light rain and temp is down to 72 with dp 71, so am thinking the front is floating overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I've been nailing it all morning (meaning rain..lol). I'm seeing puddles/ponds where I typically don't see it and still going on. Decent chunk moving SW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Now under a FFW here. Rain has picked up a bit more and is more light to moderate. Currently at 1.52". Temp is 71 with dp 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still heavy rain here... I’ve lucked out in that the heaviest of the rain pushed off just to my south and east, and I’m taking only by a mile or two. Been light rain/showers since 10am.

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 My sis in Wyndmoor texted that she is out too. I have stuff on a couple big UPSes but they won't last forever. My Comcast router is on one and is still up at the moment (also have hot spots). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Am up to 1.84" for the day so far with just over 1/2" per hour rates. The console to my main weather station is on a UPS although the Raspberry Pi's UPS is a different one that cut off now (it is running weewx). The GW-1000 that grabs stuff from the station to feed to the Pi is on the same UPS as the console (and is still on) so I probably should move the Pi off where it is at some point in the future (issue with plug distance). Temp is down to 69 with dp the same so I think that cool front continues to push through here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Power came back on about 10 minutes ago and am hoping it will hold. My sis in Wyndmoor also got hers back too around the same time. We are a couple miles away from each other. My other sis in Upper Darby was unaffected. Am currently at 1.90" so far for the event with temp down to 69 and dp 68. Am glad that it is relatively cool and not a blast furnace regarding the power outage (been there done that). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Had a look at what the atmosphere is doing in earth.nullschool.net and noticed that there is a bubble of low pressure spinning anti-clockwise under an area of high pressure (going clockwise) right off the Delmarva. It's like the upper atmosphere is completely decoupled from the lower part. I don't know it that means anything but I thought it was neat given our recent weather "pattern".

The Iceman Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Heavy rain threat looking like a big fail today/tonight. Yesterday's 30% chance was way more active compared to today's 60% chance with nothing on radar. Gonna need the break though as Ida's remnants look to bring a solid 2-4" mid week.

There's a line back west of Harrisburg but since it has sortof stabilized over in this area, that might not survive given we are a little over an hour from sunset, and it is fizzling as it moves east. I ended up with 1.96" today (so far assuming nothing else pops up) and my 78 high ended up about 45 minutes after midnight, with it mostly downhill since. The low was 69 and I'm currently overcast and 69 - with a dp of 66 that pretty much confirms the cold front is south of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
