That storm looked a lot more menacing on radar than in real life here in Philly. just a few rumbles on thunder and a few hundredths of an inch of rain

Should be right in the thick of a severe cell now but the sky lightened up, the wind totally died, and it’s just drizzling. Kind of eerie. Very tropical looking rain so far, tiny drops coming down in waves

another case where strong storms are possible in the evening but we get some rain early in the day. wonder if we fail the same way as we have earlier this summer, with too much going on and not enough instability left by the time the storms are expected

DPs are still nasty this morning, hanging in the low-mid 70s. should get some relief this evening and tomorrow

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
