CoolHandMike Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Radar indicates rain just to my north, but there's nothing on the lightning indicator and the ground is bone dry. Normally you'd see evidence of convection with those red returns, right? Eh, hopefully somebody's getting a downpour for a few minutes at least. It's just not us this time.

Birds~69 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Just outside, ground is wet and some super light rain falling but damn it's muggy, critters going nuts. I'm not bad if this stuff holds together. Really didn't expect anything tonight so anything I receive is a bonus.... 76F/DP 73F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I gave up, it's pointless and cost money between the water and sewage. It's so brown/yellow in areas it's literally dead w/a dirt patch showing. 75F/DP 73F/drizzle but some stuff incoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I actually got a surprise 0.05" from that between 1 - 3 am. At this point, I'll take whatever dribs and drabs I can get, with the hope that it is at least "measurable". Am now up to 0.77" of rain total for the month. I bottomed out at 72 this morning and it's currently clearing, partly sunny, and 74 with dp 74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Some serious overnight dumpage...looks like I picked up a quick .80". I imagine a lot of it was run off, but still, any liquid is appreciated right now. 72F/DP 71F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Here in East Nantmeal Township in Chester County PA we picked up 0.44" of needed rainfall overnight into this morning. Some increasing chances of showers again tomorrow. Our record high temperature today is the 101 degrees set back in 1944. The record low is 50 degrees from 1946. The daily rainfall record is the 3.47" that fell today in 1914. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 While the PHL airport with it's UHI contamination will fuel our climate alarmist friends....as through yesterday PHL is currently running as the 4th warmest July on record. Climate analysis for July temp rankings across Western Chester County are unsurprisingly middle of the pack for July warmth through yesterday. With average temperature through yesterday / # of years of records / July 2022 ranking. East Nantmeal (74.6) #60 of 129 years Glenmoore (75.7) #27 of 66 years KMQS (75.2) #8 of 15 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 just received the million dollar rain. Almost an inch of water thus far from this storm. 2 million drops is my best estimate. Finally a t storm just for the LV on the radar. This will help hydrate those thirsty lawns, especially with the nitrogen as there was actual some lighting with the the showers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Was hoping on this radar blip but it is fading fast. It did actually make it to 91 today, with sun in and out and it's currently overcast and 87 with dp 74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
