Hurricane Agnes Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I actually got 0.25" of rain last night from some cells that blew by here, complete with some chimney-rattling thunder. Had an additional 0.02" of leftovers early this morning so have 0.27" for the event. After a low of 68 this morning, am currently mostly sunny and 78 with dp 69.

CoolHandMike Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Looking at those nearly stationary cells just south and along the MD line. That's been the story of this summer, hasn't it? Hope Ellicott City will be ok. Anyway, I don't see this moving north any time soon though. Slightly cooler today in the field, mid-eighties and mostly overcast all day made for a much more pleasant day in the hazmat suit compared to the rest of the week. Still waiting for the humidity to taper off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Had a light shower about an hour ago, enough to wet the surface. 71F currently, DP 69. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Off-and-on light mist/drizzle here. I still ran the sprinklers this morning to give the grass seed a good drink. It seems to be working, already seeing a few sprouts pop up. (Yes, this is how exciting my life is, I watch grass grow.) 72F/DP 70F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried seeding a spot in my backyard earlier this year, and it sorta kinda took--the previous owners had held a bonfire in that spot right before we closed, grrrr. Anyhow, if you're familiar with the janitor from Futurama, I always made an effort to use his voice whenever my wife was within earshot: "Mmm hmm, yup. Just a-waterin' muh dirt patch. Mmm hmm, yup." So yeah, I totally get it you guys. What I DON'T get is how stinkin' warm and humid it still is out there. We're about to be in meteorological AND astronomical fall. This has got to break eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, yup. As far as warm and humid goes, yup to that too. Just started prepping another area and my shirt is partially wet so far. Really not too bad though, at least it's not in the 80's. I've pretty much come to expect this kind of weather in September, but it would be nice if October had a boatload of days in the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Had a low of 70 this morning and a high of 77, with some scattered rain that netted 0.03" so far. It's currently 74 and mostly cloudy, with dp 70 and a newly minted TS Odette sitting right off the coast! Quote 696 WTNT35 KNHC 172036 TCPAT5 BULLETIN Tropical Storm Odette Advisory Number 1 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL152021 500 PM EDT Fri Sep 17 2021 ...TROPICAL STORM ODETTE FORMS OFF THE U.S. MID-ATLANTIC COAST... ...FORECAST TO BECOME POST-TROPICAL BY SATURDAY NIGHT SOUTH OF ATLANTIC CANADA... SUMMARY OF 500 PM EDT...2100 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...36.7N 71.8W ABOUT 225 MI...365 KM SE OF CAPE MAY NEW JERSEY ABOUT 325 MI...525 KM SSW OF NANTUCKET MASSACHUSETTS MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...40 MPH...65 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...NE OR 45 DEGREES AT 15 MPH...24 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1010 MB...29.83 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. Please refer to products issued by Environment Canada for Odette's potential impacts to Newfoundland as a post-tropical cyclone. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 500 PM EDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Odette was located near latitude 36.7 North, longitude 71.8 West. Odette is moving toward the northeast near 15 mph (24 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue into tonight. A turn toward the east-northeast with an increase in forward speed is expected to begin on Saturday and continue through Monday. On the forecast track, the center of Odette will move away from the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coast and pass south of Atlantic Canada over the weekend. Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days, and Odette is expected to become a strong post-tropical low by Saturday night. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km) to the north of the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1010 mb (29.83 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Swells generated by Odette are affecting portions of the United States Mid-Atlantic coast and are expected to spread northward to portions of the U.S. Northeast and Atlantic Canada coasts during the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 1100 PM EDT. $$ Forecaster Berg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eruption looks like it's growing larger by the minute There was speculation in an article a couple days ago of possible landslide collapse into the ocean of one side of the island near the volcano (due to the eruption and all the earthquakes the proceeded it, as well as those still going on) and that possibly causing a large tidal wave - https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/canary-islands-volcano-could-eruption-cause-landslide-and-mega-tsunami/MEAOBU6BPNYO7QPCIWCNOHVU7A/ But then the "disaster scenario" was apparently pooh-poohed based on some later studies. Here's an interesting explanation about it though from 4 years ago - Currently 76 with dp way down to an amazing 49. I did have to go out and water because despite some 11" of rain last month, and except for a few hundredths of an inch the past couple days, I haven't had a solid rain since around September 9th.
