Will see if that holds together all the way to the city. Still 91 here with dp 75 and overcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Incredibly only received .80" on the day from one thunderstorm, two thundershowers. Retrieved the trash cans twice in one one day that might be a first.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Getting a lot of cloud-to-cloud lightning. It's almost continuous. Briefly had almost 1.5"/hr rates but the line is a fast-mover, so not much to show for all the sound and fury so far - 0.23" in the bucket at post time but I'll take it! Temp is down to 75 with dp 72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Still ongoing here, got about 0.32" of rain so far, a lot of lightning, and some pretty strong winds at the beginning with some branch breaking and transformer blowing sounds. Got a pic of some lightning just for fun: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBasile Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Have some heavy rain and it got a bit breezy, but nothing crazy. Radar makes it look like I may have missed out on some small hail that passed by just to the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 8 hours ago, BBasile said: Have the drone up. Looks like a dance club moving over the city. lol. Strobing like crazy. "Strobing" is the perfect term! I finished up with 0.25" of rain but I'll take it. At least it knocked the temps down about 25 degrees and gave the plants some moisture. Definitely not enough for all the brown/dormant grass around here though. Have already bottomed out at 72 this morning and it's currently mostly cloudy, misty, and 74, with dp 72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 The area just to the south of me where I noticed possible hail on radar. Must have been a nice little microburst there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeymac5306 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Chester County got whalloped from north to south. Transformer across the street blew but we didn't lose power for long. Street lights still out in Exton. Trees down all over the county from Coatesville to Kennett. Looks like we picked the wrong week to quit drinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Di Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I'm guessing straight line winds caused all the damage. It was brutal. Was sitting there watching it out the front door and then heard glass breaking in my bedroom. House is old so the windowpane that broke was no match for the wind. Large limb next door took out the back windshield of my neighbors' car. The entire play area of Tick Tock Day Care center is destroyed. Route 41 a nightmare with traffic, and no idea how long it will be to get power back. I slept on a towel in my bathing suit. Work is OK so I am currently in AC! More storms later? Doing my best not to stress, but it's pretty bad here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Widespread 90's again yesterday. In fact yesterday was the first time I have recorded back to back 90 degree days in East Nantmeal since July19-21st in 2020. Another shot at 90 today...but with a strong front sweeping in from the west by late PM or early evening it may keep some folks just below 90 degrees. Strong storms are again possible this evening and then a great stretch of weather with temperatures even a little below normal for Thursday and Friday. Of note on average tomorrow the 18th is the warmest day of the year...for those who love winter average temps begin a slow fall that will continue until the coldest day of the year on January 21st. Daily Chester County records for today: High 101 degrees at West Chester (1988) / Low 42 degrees at Devault (1954)/ Rain 2.61" at Phoenixville (2018) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
