Goes from 5 inches to 2.5 pretty quickly. Nothing near half an inch, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Last nights total .45 in Lower Macungie,Ancient oaks . Not a flooding event for sure. In the last two hours however, I have received nearly .50 inch of rain with these very localized tropical downpours. Hardest rains for awhile here. Cannot wait until Sunday/Monday with the the new airmass. The skies should be a deep blue with Debby washing out all of the heat, haze/smoke, pollen and humidity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVblizzard Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 This rain is great for me as a food delivery driver. These are some of the busiest weeknights I’ve had in awhile and I’m making some good money this week. I almost don’t want the sunny weather and low humidity next week! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Another 0.47" since midnight here in East Nantmeal - our 3 day total is up to 2.29" Chances of more showers today and especially tomorrow....the heaviest rain from the remnants of Debby look to especially impact areas west of Chester County but some spots in the county could pick up another inch or two. By the weekend our temperatures look to fall to below normal levels with highs mainly in the 70's and nights in the 50's with sunny skies - almost an early fall preview. Chester County records for today: High 104 degrees at Phoenixville (1918) / Low 47 degrees at Coatesville (1989) / Rain 3.21" at West Chester (1985) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 After a low of 66 this morning, I managed to get a round 1 of rain between 5 - 6 am from a pre-Debby band that lifted up from the south, giving me 0.19". Have been under some more scattered rain now backing in and lifting up from the SE for an additional 0.12" for a round 2, giving me 0.31" total at post time. Currently misty with some intermittent light rain and 70, with dp 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Checked the old spritzomatic meter and sure enough another .10" over night and this morning for an event total of 1" A real Debbie downer cane for heavy rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Slight risk for the region tomorrow with a big 5% tornado area. Could get pretty interesting. Doesn’t look very chaseable unfortunately as storm motion will be pretty quick and it’s likely that they’ll be rain wrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Unbelievable- canceling Kutztown festival today over drizzle. These people must be out of their mind. You think it was 33 degrees and a cold ass rain with sleet outside. Its 75 degrees. The fair sponsors wonder why attendance will be down. Cry wolf and this is what yoou get. Music fest is just as bad. But get this, if the event was the garlic fest or baconfest, they would go on even if a hurricane was hitting them directly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
