Yesterday was as nice a day as you could ask for in July, high was 80F and dew points stayed in the 50s. Feels a little warmer/stickier today but still nice. Low 60s in the mornings have been awesome

Happy to miss the severe so far, any risk of the smoke sticking around if the rain busts though?

AQI is much lower than 2023 but the news said this was the first code purple since 2008, confusing. Even still, AQI of 265 imby is grounds for staying inside all day

Quite a storm in Philly today. Saw some reports of a possible tornado in West Philly and wouldn't be shocked based on the damage I saw driving through West Fairmount Park. Severe tree damage, power was out and several spots were under a foot of water

Reverse jinx worked, been under a training storm for the last 40 minutes that wasn't even on the radar when I posted an hour ago. Pushing 2" total now

Only about 0.95” here last night, missed the first storm and the second never really got especially heavy. still early but I’m having a little trouble seeing how the 3-4” forecasts would verify

No rain here but the front cooled us off a bit. Much better out this morning than last, got down to 76 and now I’m at 80 with dew point 70. Yesterday at this time it was already 87

Sorry the Lehigh Valley missed out but that was a hell of a storm in NW Philly. 1.9” and 2 full hours of lightning. And now it’s a refreshing 68, dew point down to 52

well we actually got a passing shower in NW Philly (and a few serious wind gusts), which I believe technically brings us to 9 consecutive days with rain, although today's was not measurable

2.6” since Wednesday. Maybe another quarter inch tomorrow. Looks lush out there

4 day total 1.5” so far

got about 0.40" here yesterday, the sky never really opened up like it threatened to... until today, as we have had a couple legitimate downpours in the last hour or two. steady rain now, approaching 1.00" over the last 24 hours

I'm not saying that it accumulated but we were under a squall that was frozen precip, bouncing off the cars, much too small/atmospherically stable for hail. so yes, it was sleeting heavily and I don't think that's all that historic

heavy sleet in NW Philly (:

Rain has arrived well ahead of schedule in Philly, which might diminish the severe threat since I don't expect to see much more sun or make a run at 80 given the radar
