SP Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Ok wind gusts reaching 50 plus. CheckWatching leaves and branches go flying by our entire yard and into the horse farm. Check. Reminded me of some of those twister videos this past week. Heat running in may. CheckAll we need now is a good high tide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Have managed to get under a heavier band and am now up to 1.26" for this morning (for a 2.14" 2-day total so far).

ChescoWx Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 0.85" of rain so far thru 7pm in East Nantmeal Twp in Chester County PA. Temp down to 49.2...exactly 2.00" of rain since yesterday in East Nantmeal, with 0.97" falling since midnight. The record high for today is 93 from way back in 1930 - our record low was the 28 degrees from 1974. Record rainfall is 2.90" set back in 1992. A couple of you had asked about the low maximum record for today....while we will likely stay in the 40's the record low max of 46 set back in 1967 will be safe. Our high temperature earlier this AM was 48.3 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 100% nasty as it gets for May, would have been the biggest April blizzard on record if it happened a month ago when we had arctic air. Looks like the coastal is beginning to form over the Delmarva. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the coastal is beginning to form over the Delmarva. I imagined the same thing. A month or two earlier would have been one hell of a blizzard with a nice front end thump yesterday and the real storm today. Definitely a strangely powerful coastal for this time of the year. I honestly do not recall many of these setups for May. In any case this storm helps establish soil moisture to start the growing season.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more thing about it, all the guidance had lesser precipitation amounts for the Lehigh Valley and Poconos with the heaviest expected totals out towards south central PA but the bullseye has ended up substantially to the northeast. We know that never happens in the winter with snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the wind took 2 pieces of siding out...not too bad but another "put it on the list" things to do. 47F/Rain *Clueless Phils (like Girardi) think they'll be able to play a 4:05 game today.

Still not cancelled.... That sucks about your siding. The winds this year have been rough. We have a broken wooden fence from the wind a couple weeks ago. As for the Phillies, I highly doubt they play that game. Why wait to make a decision that's pretty obvious.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtd208 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Beyond tomorrow temps look to rebound nicely from the low/mid 60's early in the week to the mid/upper 70's late week into next weekend.

ChescoWx Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Another 0.45" so far since this morning. Storm total now up to 2.45" with 1.42" falling so far today. We are also at our low temperature for the day at 43.5. Our high of just 48.3 is a full 20 degrees below where we should be today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Have been trying to find what the record low max is for this date at PHL 'cause it seems we might be close. Also thinking it's possible to have record rainfall for this date at PHL too. There is a PNS and LSR for the winds but nothing for precip. Currently 45 and misty with occasional light rain and dp 44. Now have 1.61" for the day (2.49" for the 2-day event) and the winds seem to have let up some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 A nice 2.69" total (thus far, some rain still slowly rotating in at this hour) for Friday/Saturday here in Reading. I'm all for it being this cold (currently 43°F) this late in the year. I know it's going to switch to being uncomfortably hot and moist soon, so I'll enjoy being able to wear extra layers for as long a possible. As a personal observation, my benchmark for the full leaf-out, greening of SEPA is May 10. We seem to be a bit late this year, as most trees around me are still in the process of leafing out. I guess it's kind of relative as one could expect fluxuations year-to-year in our region. Doesn't seem too irregular given a long-term view, though some recent years have seen full leaf-out way earlier than my personal benchmark. This is one of the outliers I think. (Thinking of maybe 2012 as an analogue.) I'm not built for summer mid-Atlantic US heat/humidity. Maybe someday I'll be able to live in a much farther northern clime. Until then, this makes me happy.

Hurricane Agnes Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 Saturday's total was 2.00" on the dot by midnight, making for a 2.88" 2-day total. Have had 0.16" this morning that tapered off after 4 am, for a 3.04" total for the 3-day event so far. There was low stratus earlier this morning and I appear to have bottomed out at 40 for a low this morning. It's currently overcast, misty and 42 with dp 37 and still a bit breezy but much reduced from the past 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
