BBasile Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Maybe I just have a bad memory (totally possible), but I seem to remember thinking a 70F dew point was high. Now....I'm pretty sure the dew point almost lives above 70 in the summer. And a 78F dew point doesn't even seem unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Both NAM's .15" in upper Bucks on 18z. This dry with a tropical flow a head scratcher for that model. I would get more rain from spit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Made it to 93F here today, was 90 a little after 7 pm, but has dropped 2 degrees in about 15 minutes to the current 88F. DP 74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now....I'm pretty sure the dew point almost lives above 70 in the summer. And a 78F dew point doesn't even seem unusual. We've had some nice cooldowns so far in between the hot spells, but we seem to be trending towards that pattern of a few days in the 90's with dps in the 70's, then a 2 day "cool down" with highs in the upper 80's with dps maybe in the upper 60's. Hopefully it won't persist into September like it did in 2016. That year we were doing some dirt and seeding out back (in September), and trying to keep the soil damp with temps in the low 90s. I have a couple of meat thermometers I got for checking soil temps, and after running the sprinkler long enough to wet the ground up in one (sunny) area, I checked the dirt temp and it was 101F. So much for seed germination, lol. Needless to say I had to reseed it when things cooled off a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 My low this morning was 74 but am currently up to 81 with dp bopping between 74 and 75. Had just popped out and it's not too bad yet... but then I guess that's because I apparently acclimatized to this a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 FWIW...the 12Z NAM says Elsa is a non-event NW of Philly. I don't mind missing flooding rains, but I'd sure like the lawn to get watered. Still, a 30 mile jog this way or that will change things. 82F/DP 74F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Heading backpacking tomorrow-Sunday. Don't need Elsa to ruin things and rain on me. Keeping things I-95 SE is fine with me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hoping for a stray pop up at this point... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 The stuff to the west is coming from the outer bands. I would think as it moves NE, the main convective complex part of it that is moving ahead of the CoC would be pretty much on top of us, if not close unless the track really shifts east enough for it to clip the tip of south Jersey. I'm just surprised that it is still a TS having moved over land this long. The thing has been like a jalopy just flapping pieces of itself around as it moves. It's currently 86 here with overcast from tropical-looking clouds and a dp of 76. I did manage to make it to 90 just before 2pm today though.
