Hurricane Agnes Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I did finally bottom out at 71 this morning and the morning has generally been overcast until the past half hour or so when the sun made its appearance. Temp is currently 75 with dp 61. And I did see that Mt. Holly posted the Philly RER for record high min!

The Iceman Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Picked up some sprinkles yesterday, not even measurable. The garden is in dire straits besides tomato's and peppers even with watering once a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxwell03 Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Might be living in a satire at this point. 0.08" in the gauge this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Unfortunately we could only squeeze out 0.04" of rain yesterday in East Nantmeal. The good news across the County is we have a few more chances of rain this week. With the highest chance being Wednesday night. Of note yesterday's low temperature sets a new low minimum record at 74.3 - this eclipses the old record of 74.0 set back in 2013. The AC has surely been needed these recent nights! Also on the bright side our temperatures will return to near normal for the rest of this week. In fact we should not see any chances of 90 degree weather across much of Chesco over the next week or so. Our record high temperature today is 99 degrees set back in 1940. The record low for today is 48 degrees from 1977. Record daily rainfall is the 1.64" that fell today in 1994. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually go down to southern DE and crab off of a seawall in one of the bays but we haven't been since before the pandemic. It also used to be a day trip since we were relatively close when we lived in Chester County. This year though we decided to rent a camping cabin for a few nights so we could have more time to crab during the day. I can't wait, it's going to be epic. Cool and cloudy this morning. Loving it. Although I dislike the hot weather the late summer brings out crabs. I usually go sometime in August, even early September because the water holds the warm temperatures. And if want stay down there the room rates in September go way down. Camped down there as well.

I should clarify that we have stayed overnight a couple of times, usually at Ft. Whaley (now called Sun Outdoors Ocean City, I guess they got bought. WTG you corporate branding goons.) It's usually a pretty fun experience, sort of a sleeveless flannel and jorts kinda place if you know what I mean, but we haven't been in quite a while so I have no idea what it's like now. There's a big picnic shelter at Mulberry Landing we like to set up camp in. Helps a ton when it's super hot out down there, but hopefully late September won't be so bad.

But it seems Summer is lasting well into Sept these days. Hope not. Early Sept alright but I'm done by mid month. Been going to Tuckerton, NJ lately.....Barnegat as well. Turkey backs/handlines (no traps) and I'll be heading down at some point. We'll see what happens? Good luck. 75F/DP 59F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 What a difference a day makes! It clouded over (thankfully) and that has suppressed the temps. It's almost 15 degrees cooler right now (@76) than yesterday around this time and almost 20 degrees cooler than the 2 days previous to that! Dewpoint is 60 to boot and it's a big relief before the next bout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 So far I haven't hit 80 today, as much as the sun keeps trying to come out only to self-destruct, which is fine with me at this point. It's currently overcast with occasional breaks of sun and filtered sun and 79 with dp 63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two big fans out front (East) pulling air in from back windows (West). Turn off the A/C at night when I can and really get a breeze with the back windows open. But when it's super hot A/C stays on and PECO is happy.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Some increasing chances for some rain over the next several days as we are now running a little over 2 inches below normal for the month of July. Today's record high is 99 degrees set in 1940. The record low is 48 degrees set back in 1946. The daily rainfall record is 2.23" from 1966.

NWS discussion has left out the LV again of why we were screwed again.. What else is new. They are too worried about PWAT's in the forecast that do not even come to fruition. The 70% chance of rain has dwindled to 30% by 1:00 pm for the LV. I really do not see a measurable rain over one inch for the rest of the month. Normal for July should be around 4 in. Have had less than .25 in at my house. Drought watches coming soon. Current streamflow on the Little Lehigh is now in severe drought conditions. https://waterwatch.usgs.gov/index.php?r=pa&m=real&w=map Drove by the Skook near Reading omw home from errands just now and noticed it's at least a good foot lower than normal. We need some rain. Made it up to 90.8°F around 12:30pm before the clouds rolled in. At least the humidity's down somewhat, though I suspect that'll be on the increase here soon.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I bottomed out at 70 this morning and have so far reached a high of 86 today. The dp has been slowly creeping back up but since today was one of those "unsettled" days, with bouts of clouds and occasional breaks of sun, it has been tolerable. It's currently mostly cloudy and 84 with dp 68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually a little surprised we're not in a drought watch. 81F/DP creeping up 69F its coming. I expect a watch will be issued by mid - August unless we get a tropical storm. These hit and miss showers are good enough for farmers but not good enough to recharge the aquifers. The stream base flows are really starting to drop now as well. They were really high this past spring. The topsoil horizon is like powder in the shale soils and the clay soils elsewhere are starting to crack. The lawns are brown because they are primarily perennial ryegrass cool season grasses that are not heat tolerant as well as drought tolerant. The heat is browning the lawns even if they are watered sufficiently. The water tables are also falling rapidly in Lehigh county karst areas as the water is literally being sucked out from the water bottlers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water restrictions are already posted for areas around Trenton. This is a very dusty pattern and the hope of a tropical storm of any sort is very LOW zero support in this pattern for that unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
