Meanwhile only 42 miles to your southeast we have struggled to pick up 2.56" since May 25th! The only word that I can give the precipitation distribution for the entire area Harrisburg to Trenton to points south and east to Southern Delaware and Maryland .....eratic! Great information and write up as usual Paul! Thanks, from this section of Central Delaware County but I will tell you we are experiencing flash drought conditions and from the look of the landscape Moderate Drought. Springton Reservoir along Route 252 in Upper Providence and Marple Townships is dropping steadily the past few weeks. We know what will happen later August and September.... East Coast riding Hurricane! It's the La Nina way! Thanks Kevin! It really has been hit and miss. I suspect you are correct some tropical storm will come up the coast and interact with a cold front and bam - 4 to 6" of rain for all!! let's hope we see some more rain over the next days further south and east! Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Reilly Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 So, here we go..... Heavy rain 20-30 miles north and northeast..... Heavy rain 30-35 miles southwest and zippo here getting pretty frustrating. Flash Flood Warning Philadelphia and Montgomery county in PA and Burlington and Camden County in NJ 84.2 humidity 76% feels like 93f ... a few peeks of sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Getting warned for a little blob that is fringing me to the south. Made it up to 84 yesterday after a low of 76 and had 0.14" Monday evening and 0.41" early yesterday morning. Low this morning was 74. Currently getting some light rain and it's soup with a temp of 77, a dp of 75 and 0.03" in the bucket at post time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was because I wasn't sure if the storm motion would move it up from the SW over me vs fizzling or moving more to the east. Don't have to pull the hose out!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Reilly Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Absolutely nothing to show for any of the rain happening now. We have a light outflow boundary wind blowing from the east NE from Philadelphia. Maybe we get lucky and get an outflow boundary collision for development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 The heaviest of the blob has moved out although still have just over 1/2" hour rates. Currently have 1.38" in the bucket at post time since noon. Current temp is 72 with dp 72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Down to very light rain where the sun has popped out a few times and currently have 1.41" of beneficial rain at post time. Temp is rising again and at 75 with dp 75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Reilly Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Moderate to heavy rain here last 30 minutes now tapering down some clear skies to the east and northeast now. 73.8f humidity 91% dewpoint 71f. Sun about to pop out here wonder if that heats things back up for more development shall see. Total rainfall in the gauge = 0.52" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albedoman Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 of course zilcho for Lehigh County. I feel like this steam bath atmosphere is a joke. The grass is decimated from the heat. Overnight lows failing to get out of the 70's is a perfect atmosphere for breeding west nile virus mosquitoes in sept let alone record breaking. Its not the daytime highs, its the overnight lows that are unbearbable 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Picked up 0.44" of rain today. Only at 2.36 for the month now. Still have some junk in the area so maybe..... These below average temps are nice, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Its a been a long time since I have seen precip chances dwindle so quickly - from 70-80 % to less than 20% in susbsequent forecast updates. With no significant rains in the next 10 days with another heat wave by next Tuesday- things are going to get real ugly in western lehigh County. This heat is simply relentless. Its warmer here than Memphis TN. Where are these so-called tropical storms to break this pattern? All TS remnants have gone up to Canada. No forest fires this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhiEaglesfan712 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Looks like a very hot first week of August on tap: PHL hasn't had a 100-degree day in over 12 years (since July 2012), and in the month of August since 2001. That could be changing very soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 One more cloudy day today before a great stretch of weather through at least Monday. Cooler starting tonight with some spots in Chester County possibly touching the 50's tonight and tomorrow night.

Albedoman Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 1 hour ago, RedSky said: Guidance "thinks" next week is another wet week lmao. It will take a TS to kill this heat and dryness ONLY. Dying cold fronts that hang over our region are no longer. They go right out to sea or come back as dry warm fronts with no convective material. Wash and repeat every week for the past 3 months. We need a dying cold front to reach the carolinas and form an LP on the front. That is not in are cards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
