Wow what an awesome summer time storm! Sat on the front covered porch with wife and kids and still got soaked from the sporadic wind gusts blowing in the rain, torrential at times. Looks like nearly .6” in the gauge. Time for a walk and hopefully we catch a rainbow. Success. 

You were under the storm at it's most mature stage, it has since weakened a good bit. It simply rained longer at your place than mine...it only lasted 10-15 minutes total.

A wide range of rain totals across the County yesterday with as little as 0.12" in Chadds Ford to near 4" in Central and Eastern sections.
We should top out short of 90 degrees today across most of the county but Thursday through Saturday we should see temps in the lower 90's for most. The heat will only pay a brief visit as has been the case this cool summer with temps likely not escaping the 70's by Sunday.
Records for today: High 99 (1940) / Low 48 (1977) / Rain 1.64" (1994)

Have a birthday party for a 3 year old Saturday at 2 - gonna remind me of my own birthday parties in Texas during football two-a-days. 

Will be interesting to see how the globals evolve on Sat with today's runs.  Several progs show 18Z temps in the 70's in N PA and mid 90's in far Southern PA with Harrisburg being under 90 on some and well over on others. All based on frontal timing.
