  1. Here we go! I bottomed out at 68 this morning and had 0.19" in the bucket from some overnight rain. It's currently mostly cloudy (sun popping in and out) and 82 with a horrible dp of 76.
  2. Better bottle this up because the long range doesn't look "cool". I did manage my first 90+ of the season last Thursday, actually hitting 91. And with all the rain threats that were progged, I actually ended up getting the most yesterday, with 0.60" for the plants. It's currently overcast and 64 with dp 64 and 0.01" in the bucket from some scattered showers.
  3. I ended up with a grand total of 0.04" out of it and have watched the line that was coming across from the west, just about disintegrate before my eyes. Looks like the 88 will be my high for the day after a 66 low. The temp has crept up with the sun out again and it's currently a partly sunny 81 with dp 68.
  4. Getting a pop up that is coming up from the south. Was putting some of my tender annuals out (finally), some near where they will be planted and the others on a table under my patio umbrella that was up. Saw it was getting dark so had to put the umbrella down as it was starting to rain so they could at least get a little water (had watered them when I bought them earlier this week but they need more today). Temp hit 88 earlier today before the rain knocked it back to the current 75 with dp 71.
  5. There was a very high layer of something like cirrocumulus early this morning, where I could occasionally see a star here and there but I expect that no aurora would break through that. I am unfortunately in the city and although "darker" compared to other areas, still not really "dark sky" and have lots of obstructions (trees/houses) to see anything faint. The chilly mornings have kept me from my usual schedule of putting my tender tropicals out "by or around Memorial Day" (they are still in the basement, but will try to get them out this week finally). My lows have been 48 the past 2 mornings and I am currently at 49 with hazy sunshine and a dp of 46. In other news, a doe delivered a Bambi in the front yard of my sister's nextdoor neighbor's house near their "run" (the herds travel between the houses from the street) and my niece texted a pic of it. The fawn was chilling in the grass while mamma was probably down at the creek at the bottom of the backyard getting a drink (that is usually where they go before heading back to the front and across the street).
  6. Happy (cold) June! But heat incoming later in the week. Finished up with 8.14" rain IMBY in NW Philly for May (16.81" for met spring) and I'm currently at my low of 49 this morning with dp 45.
  7. Had 0,25" of rain yesterday and woke up to 0.73" this morning. There were a couple more rounds and pop-ups since with one adding 0.14" for 0.87" and the latest round giving me another quarter inch and I stand at 1.12" for the day so far (2-day 1.37"). Am up to 8.13" for the month so far. Got up to 74 for a high after bottoming out at 55 this morning and almost hit that again after that last rain pass! That temp drop was pretty dramatic, I currently recovered to 59 with dp 56 and it's mostly cloudy.
  8. A 992 low - almost a weak high! Now if it were a 963 then you'd be talking... The last 2 days, I ended up with 0.94" of rain (0.06 yesterday and 0.88" on Wednesday). Apparently more to come tonight and tomorrow. Am up to 6.76" for the month so far. Bottomed out at 60 this morning and got up to 80 as a high. Was actually surprised to see more sun today than expected. But then it was also more humid too. Currently partly sunny and 78 with dp 63.
  9. The scattered pop-ups mostly missed me yesterday (although my Delco sister got nailed by one but then got a cool double-rainbow at the end that she texted a pic of). But for the previous 3 days (5/21 - 23), I ended up with 1.20", which takes me to 5.82" for the month so far (vs 2.76" for April). Got up to 64 yesterday and bottomed out at 50 this morning. Currently a mostly sunny 51 and so far not as breezy as yesterday, with a dp of 45.
  10. Norman, OK re-upped the Watches! I did see the cells popping way west of here. When the sun came out, the temp started shooting up and I did hit a high (so far) of 77 just before 4 pm, when it started clouding up again. Currently 75 and cloudy with dp a juicy 70.
  11. See a couple TORs up in BBasile land... I think the heaviest is done here and so far have 0.66" in the bucket. Temp is 67 with dp 67.
  12. Under the heavier returns now with 2"/hr rates. Currently have 0.52" in the bucket at post time.
  13. FFW up for the city and surrounding counties. Still have light rain but the heavier stuff is still west in south central Montco. My Delco sis texted that she is getting walloped!
  14. Now the rest of Philly has been warned - I currently have some light rain ahead of this with temp 69 and dp 68.
