Sounded like there may have been a little hail mixed in, but can't confirm. I'll go out in a bit once it settles down to see if I can find any ice.

mattinpa Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Had downpours, some wind, lightning and thunder. But fortunately none of the isolated tornado risk talked about, or hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 Had some loud rolling thunder and lightning (picked up by the detector too) and ended up with 0.14" of rain from the passage of the storm. Currently 50 with dp 45. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too dry a winter/spring can equal a triple digit summer (it's been awhile since we last had that). Whatever disturbance scooted across the northern part of the area seems to have broken up where I am but it has gotten pretty cloudy. Current temp is 53 with a drier dp of 39 (which is probably why it fizzled here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's so inconsequential, who really cares? It's nothing major. And one good soaking rain/T-storm and all is good. (or above) I think all is good now. It sounds like a bunch of people want to look like they doing something to justify their annual salary. If I had a no TV/radio/internet in the past 6 months and just judging by observation I would think....meh, we're about normal which is right. 50F/Cloudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of the area (except for the far southern parts of the CWA) are only 50 - 60-% of "normal" snowfall so far. What can happen is in the long term, if the deficit continues, is what it could do for summer temps since dry ground heats the air faster. But in other news that might be a solace for you is this (if it verifies) - As an obs, am down to 51 with dp 38 and mostly cloudy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Beautiful day both in NW Chesco and down the shore! Splits were 62.1/38.8 in Chesco and 62.6/42.4 in Sea Isle City. Through today in Chesco we are running 4.9 degrees above normal for March. Precipitation wise we are 8.54" or 85% of our normal precip of 10.00" exactly through today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
