Newman Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 That storm heading towards Philly is warned for Ping Pong ball sized hail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief83 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Worcester, PA. Couple of drops (literally - you could easily count them on pavement), but did drop temp from a high of 81 down to 68. Was 46 this AM. Wind did gust to 32 during the "storm". Unless something else pops up - that looks like about it for the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Am still waiting for something more than drops. The one cell that survived the early trip has been running along where the Schuylkill enters the city to the SW of me. There are are some darker greens on radar but it's like the air is so dry that it's pretty much virga at the moment. My lightning detector is picking up some convection although I'm not hearing any thunder. Temp is down to 70 with dp 53. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Finally got a brief sprinkle enough to wet the walk and tip the bucket with 0.01". Lock it in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Finally, a good, soaking rain here. Up to .37" now. Just a little bit more pea-sized hail as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 .48"! Also, my neighbor is already up on a ladder inspecting his roof. Apparently there was a bad hail storm here in 2014, so if they didn't get theirs fixed back then, then I could see why they'd be concerned. However, we're still hearing thunder here and it's waaaay too soon to be getting up on a ladder, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 OMG the smoke in Macungie is unreal. You can actually see among the trees. I have never seen it this bad. I smell the wood burning as if it was in the neighborhood. Its coming your way guys. WE got Nada for rain. Enjoy the rain if you get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Yeah just got crazy smokey in the last 20 minutes, purple death band ftw 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 And.... out came the sun and dried up all the rain and the entsy weentsy spider when up the spout again. Everything is blowing to the S/W of me. Temp is 71 with dp 55. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Yeah, that smoke is crazy. Had a very red sun this morning. Expecting it tomorrow as well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Smoke is unreal this evening, thought the sky was overcast but it’s just all smoke. Noticeable fog like haze as well. I haven’t seen it this bad since I was a kid… I want to say an early 2000s summer like 01 or 02 it was really bad from the Canadian wildfires too. Does anyone else remember that? Going to be a beautiful sunset though. The smell has me craving s’mores 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Got grazed by a storm moving SE just west of here, enough rain to wet the ground but not under the trees. Looking forward to the thick smoke, I guess. Would be cool with the moon if it clears out here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 View out front looks like we're on a more lush version of Tatooine. ("Second sun is a reflection from the window in front of my security camera.) I've only ever seen that far tree line obscured in such a way due to fog though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Got another shower earlier that actually added up to 0.12". Two showers in a week! Hoping it's a subtle start to an at least slightly wetter pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Also it got smoky here...got the snow lamp out to check it, and lol, yeah. Looked for the moon, and it's either too low or obscured. Looks cloudy, no stars visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could you tell if its a fire far away or a new fire close by. I remember some bad wild fires in Canada back in the early 2000's and we got a little bit of smoke but never like this I can smell it getting in the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Sky on a smoky day.... 52F here...can't beat these temps, though I think the lightning bugs (and people with pools) would like it a few degrees warmer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Some spots like here in East Nantmeal did pick up a brief shower - we picked up 0.03" we take!! The smoke continues to be a problem across the area...we may see a brief clearing of smoke this morning before another plume builds across the county by later today. Temperatures should remain below normal for the rest of the work week. Before a brief warmup to above normal by Sunday. Shower chances increase by Friday night and again on Sunday night. Of interest, while I did record 1 day last summer that rounded to 90 degrees (89.7 on July 23rd) I have not recorded a day that exceeded 90 degrees in almost 2 years!! The last time being June 30, 2021 when we hit 91.2 degrees here in East Nantmeal Township. I think it is likely we see no 90 degree days here in Chester County for the rest of June. Records for today: 97 (1899) / Low 42 (1949) / Rain 2.94" (2013) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
