Albedoman Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 The DC blob is surviving. Probably because the atmosphere is much cooler and more stable than this afternoon. Backwards world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Reilly Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
