absolutley nothing- .02 in. The storms hit the Lehigh County line and literally died. Stiff breezes for the 1000th time - scorched leaves everywhere with small twigs and just enough rain to wash the dead bugs off the windshield. Drought watches coming if we get no significant rain by next weekend. Meanwhile we continue to bake. Mid tu upper 80 degree highs with 70 degree lows is awful ----that is not a cool down.

I’m seeing lightning from the storms in northern DE…pretty cool!

Guess what I see it clear as day all the way up here on the roof of Bucks

Funny shit is they are only crappy thundershowers on radar not massive 65,000 ft thunderheads

The DC blob is surviving. Probably because the atmosphere is much cooler and more stable than this afternoon.

Backwards world

Haven't gotten a lot of rain here, but it's evolved into a steady light rain for the last couple of hours with a couple of rounds of lightning and thunder, the current one off to the west. Actually raining a little better now. A nice Friday night for sitting on the porch, for sure!

Hoping Media got some rain today?  I’m down in Florida a state of emergency was just issued.  Should be an interesting weekend down here.

The 3 hour shower this evening has given us about 0.22" here, not a lot but the first real rain this week, and very enjoyable.

Eta - good luck!

Waking up to sunny down here.  Don’t let your guard down up the coast with what probably will become Debby.  What’s interesting too is I check into Charleston SC on August 11th.  I guess I’ll be checking into the aftermath. We drove down hope the roads are passable in Georgia, SC, NC as I look at the models this morning.

As has been the case much of this summer some pretty wide ranges in rainfall amounts since yesterday across the county. Some totals Nottingham 1.26" / West Grove 1.17" / Warwick Twp. 1.12" / East Nantmeal 0.95" / Atglen 0.91" / West Bradford 0.54" / Chester Springs 0.47" / Devault 0.26" / Brandywine Airport 0.16"
More rain chances today and tomorrow. Monday looks sunny and likely the only day this week with a chance at a 90 degree reading in some spots. By mid week temperatures should trend to be a bit cooler than normal for early August.
Chester County records for today: High 102 degrees at West Chester (2002) / Low 47 degrees Morgantown/Elverson (1959) / Rain 4.55" at West Chester (1950)

A thousand tiny showers moving northeast in Pennsylvania with a thousand ways to miss. Good luck everybody.

Guidance has sliced down coverage for today to about half the region gets a drink

But flood watch issued

I ended up getting a little more rain after midnight this morning - 0.07".  I actually finished yesterday with 0.86" so have 0.93" over 2 days with more possibly on the way with that line that is out west.

Low this morning was 74 and am currently at my high of 91 (day 4 of my current heatwave and I believe day 26 for 90+), with dp an awful 80.
