Hurricane Agnes Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Just got home not long ago from my sister's house in Upper Darby and it's currently 68 with dp 65, so the dews are creeping up. Earlier this afternoon, her area got some light rain from what looked like some nasty blob that sideswiped them to the east (we could see the dark clouds), cut across the city and then the river, and finally blew through South Jersey. Her whole neighborhood (including her) had the fireworks going this evening plus where she lives up in the hills, you can look down her street and see the downtown fireworks. My whole trip home with my other sis featured firecrackers going in every neighborhood we drove through to get out to Wyndmoor so I could drop her and my niece off. lol I guess people were making up for last year.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 My low this morning ended up being 63 and am now on the way back up again. Currently mostly sunny and a bit misty off in the distance since the winds went calm this morning, and 66 with dp 65. Today is supposed to possibly be the "coolest" for the rest of the week.

ChescoWx Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 These 1st 4 days of July (avg. temp 69.2) has been the 8th coolest 4 day holiday period since 1983 - the top 7 cooler than this year: 1) 2007 - 63.5 / 2) 1986 - 64.5 / 3) 1985 - 68.1 / 4) 2015 - 68.2 / 5) 2010 - 68.5 / 6) 2016 - 68.7 / 7) 2001 - 68.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The air is actually smoky, and none of our nextdoor neighbors are even setting any off. Pretty funny. 23 hours ago, Birds~69 said: 68F / DP 64F...no wind, clouds of smoke. I swear it's a booze male ego thing. Once one person sets off a aerial display...sticks of dynamite. There's a pause...then the next neighbor has a larger display and more sticks of dynamite. And the wheel goes round and round.. Overall, good displays, loud bombs but could use a breeze...I mean it's dead calm. No breeze also means bugs gnats hanging around messing with me... 22 hours ago, Hurricane Agnes said: Just got home not long ago from my sister's house in Upper Darby and it's currently 68 with dp 65, so the dews are creeping up.

I wish people would be a bit more civically minded about their fireworks privledges. The new law that allows them to be set off in PA has caused a lot of problems in Reading and a few other places. If anything it should only be one day. Of course people could donate to the mucipal Fourth of July funds so everyone could enjoy a really spectacular professional display instead of a ho-hum hundred foot back yard display. Part of the beuaty of fireworks is the coordinated effort. That being said Im very excited for the Semi-bicentennial thats coming up in a few years! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the beuaty of fireworks is the coordinated effort. That being said Im very excited for the Semi-bicentennial thats coming up in a few years! The little $19.99 consumer pack of "fireworks" from the Acme that my sister got (which have always been legal - basically sparklers, and ground stuff like the little spinner thingys, and small tube fountain things) are no where near the level of the aerial types that were recently legalized in PA. I.e., stuff that won't (and didn't) completely freak out my little grand-nieces and grand-nephews who really can't do "professional" fireworks (it's too much for them - which is often the case for the infant - 7 year old set). Her street has had more young families move in recently and thus more little kids are around on their bikes and scooters, and after the past year of lockdowns, they seemed to enjoy being out and about around the other kids on the street - especially for the little "home" fireworks displays. I told my sis that it looks like her street is now at a period (aside from lingering COVID issues) where they could actually have a decent block party. As an obs, my low this morning was 72 and when I went out earlier to put a reflector thing up for my car windshield, I felt the soup. Current temp is 76 with dp 71 so... here we go!

Yeah to be clear I have no issue with the glorified sparkler products. So carry on. Little kid ears can be really sensitive! I think its going to be a scorcher today!

It's a couple days a year...usually when it falls on a weekend like this year. Otherwise it's one day, two max. PA HAD to pass the buying/setting off of fireworks. 1. PA people would buy fireworks from other states like myself (PA doesn't receive tax money, now they do) 2. Nothing the police can do with all the fireworks going off unless it's something major. And wait till recreational marijuana becomes readily available in NJ. PA folks will go to NJ and PA will receive no tax money....so PA will make recreational marijuana legal. It's all about money and PA always seems to be a step behind... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well considering the other three members of my family were once nearly killed in a car accident by someone high on cannabis-- I have every right to be uptight. If you ask me the Philippines have the right approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 DISCUSSION...Isolated to widely scattered strong/severe storms have developed over western NY as of 16z within an air mass characterized by moderate MLCAPE and generally weak (at or below 25 kts) effective shear values. Despite the lack of large-scale forcing, additional thunderstorm development is anticipated over central portions of NY and in the vicinity of a surface trough from the Delaware Valley into southern New England as remaining weak MLCIN is removed through daytime heating, with multiple multicell clusters moving generally east/southeast this afternoon. A belt of enhanced westerly flow averaging 35-40 kts will result in a risk for damaging downburst winds with the stronger storms and clusters. Generally weak deep-layer shear and poor mid-level lapse rates will temper the hail risk, however a few stronger updrafts may be capable of marginally severe hail. Given the expected development, one or more Severe Thunderstorm Watches is expected by early afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for the big, puffy cumulous clouds to form as it's been extremely clear all morning. I am just now seeing them creeping over the horizon to the NW.
