Hurricane Agnes Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 Dribbed and drabbed my way to 0.20" for the day so far with some scattered returns on the radar occasionally drifting overhead. Currently at 3.08" for the 3-day event and still have overcast with a temp of 54 and dp of 35, with the moderate breezes continuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 Well it took all day but the sun is belatedly trying to make an appearance through the cloud deck. You can see on radar how the low has sortof crawled and stalled and has thrown a couple narrow bands of some areas. Currently mostly cloudy with some breaks of sun and 58, with dp 36.

Hurricane Agnes Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 And the 58 ended up being the high here. Currently 56 and partly sunny as we close in on sunset, with dp 33. What is interesting is that the coastal's rain bands from the cutoff low seem to be backing in to the coast again and parts of coastal central Jersey are getting impacted.

Look at the planet before you say that, North America has been in a little cold blue bubble since January while the majority of the northern hemisphere is in the red. Oh and the other side of the world centered on India crushed it for record heat. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 The pattern continues unabated with indications of another period of anomalous chill will hit in 10 days. It's like the movie Groundhog Day every 10 days since early January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drought out west is causing human remains to surface due to low water levels at Lake Mead. Fabulous viewing I'm sure for vacationing family and friends. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/05/08/lake-mead-human-remains-discovery-drought/9698550002/ No way, the blue bubble chill is a magical gift from the weather gods which we should cherish... 50F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 The record high for today is 93 degrees from way back in 1896. Our record low is 25 degrees set on this date in 1947. Record rainfall is 1.34" set in 1923. Should be a really nice week with near normal temps for a change. Enjoy but watch out for pollen increases this week!

Throw out the urban heat effect and there is no cause for alarm with the climate, unless you ask the greenies. Do you understand the difference between global vs local?

UHI contamination remains a real problem and will only get worse as detailed below for some rural suburban sites vs. the PHL Airport...but at least we will continue to see our local weather folks continue to show plenty more 90+ days and heat waves for Philly at the official PHL station then we have ever seen before! As we are seeing a trend to less 90+ days outside of the UHI.....but of course non-stop increases at PHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 May 10 has been my arbitrary benchmark for full leaf-out since forever. It seems we are at least 1-2 weeks behind this year as compared to my totally unscientific, non-peer-reviewed [lack of] research. Ice age coming? JK. And I've totally enjoyed this anomalously cool spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 Ended up hitting 73 yesterday with low humidity after a low of 50. So far have had a low of 50 again this morning and it's currently sunny and 51 with dp 28. I do recall some Mays like this in the past and if anything, all the antecedent rain that we have had will probably put a nail in the coffin for the possibility of any triple digit temps this summer (not that we won't get hot but the "dry begets dry begets greater heat when dry" thing is a general foregone conclusion here and we seemed to have more than made up up the precip deficit from winter/early spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
