Kevin Reilly Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I am down in Orlando Florida had a lot of Saharan Dust here today milky fuzzy clouds and all skies were brown / orange this morning. Any thunderstorms were choked off. Looks like cooler up there temps near 80 and then a fairly wet patten showing up with an upper level low and surface low pressure developing in the Delmarva looks like a winter pattern within a weak El Nino. I will be back August 16th looks like the rain is August 13th at night to the 16th on and off, but it looked fairly significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albedoman Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 forget about any rain for the LV. That Saharan desert dust is choking the living hell out of any precip forming north of I-78. That LP for Monday is also pee in the wind for anyone near i_78. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Miracle of miracles - leave the patio umbrella up and get 0.44 of rain when I first checked this morning. Popped out quickly and put it down so the rain can hit stuff that was just under the umbrella's canopy. Currently 72 with light rain and dp 72, and so far am up to 0.50" in the bucket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was gonna reluctantly pull out the hose today and now can wait. Currently a misty 73 with dp 72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Did a what the hell check and found a PA Drought monitor status published last week (am guessing a new one might issue today). Definitely reflects the issue here in NW Philly as much of the rain and pop-ups have concentrated south of where I am. I know that over th weekend, a "Drought Watch" had been declared and heavily advertised on KYW for Jersey, but we have our issues here on this side of the river. I eeked out another 0.01" and stand at 0.59" at post time, with the heaviest rains now all over NJ. Currently misty and 72 with dp 72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Some much needed and welcomed rain here this morning. Picked up 0.29" of rain so far today. High for the day yesterday was 90 here. Current temp 72/DP 70/RH 95% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drought does not stop at the Delaware River just like flooding and a Nor'Easter.. The media takes a graphic and runs with it no matter how stupid it is. The USGS people need to wake up when doing public media for graphics. The media is too stupid to recognize the situation. https://www.drought.gov/states/Pennsylvania/county/Lehigh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 And the sun just popped out briefly as the skies clear. Currently a deck of cirrus overhead with some breaks allowing the sun to pop in and out, and 75 with dp 72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Got down to 72F overnight with a whopping .06" of rain. Hope we cash in next week, kinda looking Miller B-ish. 74F/DP 68F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 After today's high in the low 80's there is a good chance much of Chester County PA will see high temps getting no higher than the 70's for the next week or so. This nice stretch of below normal weather will be a welcome change! Of note although our recent stretch was above normal and very uncomfortable. It looks increasingly likely that overall the summer months (June-July-August) at most of the Chester County reporting sites will average pretty close to a normal summer. Our record high for today is the 101.5 set today back in 1900. The record low was 48 degrees from 1974. The daily rainfall record is 1.14" set in 1982.

The Iceman Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Picked up .6" early this morning. Definitely a nice soaking for the area. Mon-Tues could be a nice soaking area wide with a coastal storm but still a wide range of solutions in the ensembles ranging from 1-3" to a complete whiff.

Still hot, but much dryer with a breeze. Looking forward to enjoying this stretch. Last year though we had a hot/humid stretch at the end of August, so hopefully we don't repeat that. Currently 78 with a DP of 59.7. A nice reprieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Just missed 90 for a high today (made it to 89) and it's currently 80 with dp a much better 61. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 64.3 for the AM low this morning in NW Chesco. Nice stretch of cooler weather across Chester County with temps unlikely to reach 80 degrees for at least the next week especially across the relatively higher spots. After a near perfect weekend, we get into a pretty wet pattern with Monday through Wednesday being the wettest days. Our record high for today is 101 set in 1900. Record low was 45 degrees in 1930. Daily rainfall record the 5.22" that fell today in 1955. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Wasn't sure how low I would go but it wasn't very (although better than the past week). Ended up at 70 and after the stratus cleared and the sun burst out, it's currently 75, with some scattered cirrus and a dp of 61. I did see a Fire Weather section up in the AFD for the next couple days ahead of what is speculated as being a coastal. So hopefully we won't see anything igniting before we get some much-needed rain that supposedly arrives Monday and into next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Made it up to 86 as a high today but the big news was the dewpoint drops over 25 degrees lower than the average of the past couple weeks.

KamuSnow Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Not a cloud in the sky, lots of stars, and a supermoon to boot. A full house of katydids for audio and temps in the upper 60s - all making for a fine August night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Amazing but so far my low this morning was 60, the lowest for just over a month (last one was back on July 11). Finally turned off the AC. It's currently clear and 61 with dp 50. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 precip on Monday is being ghostbusted . Precip chances dwindling by more than 10% each day. Not a real confident booster for sure. Each model run is being pushed further south and out to sea. Is this January 2022? Tropical season is not going to arrive until mid Sept this year for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The low this morning in East Nantmeal was 56.2. Our chilliest low since the 55.4 on June 24th. However, lower spots like a lake level at Marsh Creek bottomed out at 51.8. Top 10 summer weather weekend on tap across the County today. We should see below normal temps at least through next Friday. It looks a little wet starting Monday night through Tuesday. Record high for today is 99 set in 1918. Our record low is 43 degrees set back in 1930. Daily rainfall record was the 4.17" just 4 years ago in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 What a perfect day at the beach in Sea Isle City. The sea breeze kicked in and has now dropped us down into the upper 60's following an earlier 75 degree high temp. Also, not too shabby of a day back in the hills of Chester County with those upper 40's DPs over at KMQS last hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
