Chief83 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Worcester, PA. For the month so far 8/1 to 8/16 1.04" of rain and most of that was in the first few days. Interesting, but not surprising how some locations not far away are well above that. Local showers and storms have consistently missed us or dissipated before getting here.

I've had 0.95" for the month here so far, and that was a total from 3 days for the month, with one of those days only netting 0.01". I did make it up to 82 and it's currently partly sunny and 79 with dp 59, so overall another nice late summer day that's not a blast furnace or sauna.

Similar results here: 1.01" which all fell on 3 separate days. We hit 87 here today but it was delightfully breezy most of the day with DP's only in the mid 50's. I'm dreading a repeat of last year where we had a run of 90+ later in August (the last IMBY recording of >90 being 8/30/21), but we shall see. It'd be nice to have a "normal" late summer pattern change again after how many years now of it just being hot all the way into October. (It was 84 on my last birthday on 10/15/21. Especially don't want a repeat of that.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 4 of the last 5 mornings have featured low temps in the 50's across the county. Today's low was 59.1 in East Nantmeal. Today will also be out 6th straight day for many spots across the county with high temps remaining below 80 degrees. Our record high today is 95 degrees from 2002. The record low is 45 degrees in 1981. The daily rainfall record is 5.28" from 1928. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm reading the enso charts looks like 1975-76 and 2000-01 were the other 2 3rd year nina's? Both weren't bad winters with 17.5" in 75-76 and 26.1" in 00-01 at PHL. Obviously not a large data set but I think many would take that if 3rd time follows the pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Weird weather patterns never seen so many parts of the globe in drought yet record rains in Death Valley and Vegas.

I'd be more than happy with a repeat of 2000-01 (minus 3/5/01). Actually, I'm surprised at how much Philly proper got that year, I recall it as a Fall Line north and west winter. But now that I think about it, Philly probably cashed in on that weird Miller B storm just before New Years while the sun was out in West Chester.

Albedoman Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 wow, I have not seen a brick wall put up around the LV and points east for the formation of rain like the last two months. I got 20 drops last night- left some spots on the windshield of dust and pollen. The car instantly became so dirty again. The same areas are getting the rain right now - from York to points south and east and it is retrograding south and west. That 40% forecast of precip is for western Chester county only. All I can say if a tropical storm forms off the Carolina coast or northern gulf coast in September, there will be plenty of latent heat around here for it to stay strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Temps dropped into the unseasonably chilly mid-60's with the storm that moved from north to south through Chester County earlier.

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Topped out at 82 today, with what became changeable skies this afternoon as the furthest segments of the nor'easter's rain bands expertly skipped over MBY headed south and west. It's currently mostly cloudy with occasional breaks in the clouds to reveal some sun, and 78, with dp 56. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Bottomed out at 62 this morning and could have been cooler but the wind didn't go calm. So far it's turned out to be a nice late summer day and when I went out to the supermarket this morning, I was greeted by a buzzing cicada, just like the "old days" (of last summer).

ChescoWx Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Today should be our first day over 80 degrees across almost all spots in Chester County in the last week! After 7 straight below normal days. We did not hit the 50's for a low here this morning in East Nantmeal...no better than 61.0 The record high for today is 96 degrees set in 1914. Our record low is 45 degrees in 1949. Daily rainfall record is 4.98" from 1939. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I dropped to a "warmer" 65 this morning compared to the previous mornings and as progged, the temps are off to the races. I'm currently at 84 and sunny with dp 62. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 85F at noon, looks like I'll make a run at 90F (or above) today. This morning I was woken by the sound of a cracking branch, although never heard it fall. Guess it's a sign of how stressed the trees are getting. I'll look around later today to see I notice anything in my yard or maybe the sound was coming from a neighbor's yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I surprisingly hit 90 initially about 10 after noon today and then the rest of the afternoon resulted in an explosion of cumulus and unsettled skies. Since then it's now partly sunny and 91 with dp 62. (humidity of 38% which isn't bad). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxwell03 Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 Summer is back and I'm loving it. Still no rain since Aug 11. Here's to hoping the CFS Monthly for September has some weight to it; I'm tired of this dry pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
