Hurricane Agnes

Down to very light rain where the sun has popped out a few times and currently have 1.41" of beneficial rain at post time. Temp is rising again and at 75 with dp 75.

The heaviest of the blob has moved out although still have just over 1/2" hour rates. Currently have 1.38" in the bucket at post time since noon. Current temp is 72 with dp 72.

Yeah it was because I wasn't sure if the storm motion would move it up from the SW over me vs fizzling or moving more to the east. Don't have to pull the hose out!!!

Now at 1.07" since 12:00pm (I had opened the back door to check for any hail). 3.40"/hr rate.

Now at 3"/hr rates, 0.85" in the bucket, temp 73 with dp 72.

Now under the blob with just over 2"/hr rates. Have 0.41" in the bucket at post time.

Getting warned for a little blob that is fringing me to the south. Made it up to 84 yesterday after a low of 76 and had 0.14" Monday evening and 0.41" early yesterday morning. Low this morning was 74. Currently getting some light rain and it's soup with a temp of 77, a dp of 75 and 0.03" in the bucket at post time.

Finished up with 0.87" (total from 2 rounds - 0.05" + 0.82"). There appears to be a light band ahead of the actual cold front moving this way but not sure how much of that survives the trip. Currently an overcast and misty 71 (my low so far for the day), with dp 71.

Under the band now and getting a gully washer with 1.75"/hr. Temp down to 74 with dp 73. Have 0.42" in the bucket (0.37" from round 2).

Sounds like a gust front is trying to come through. After the last round, the temp recovered back up to around 83. Now it is dropping and down to 79 with dp 75.

Well that little blob disintegrated as it passed over me. Apparently it deluged the roadways in Chester County and then Montgomery County on its way here, including Conshohocken and other places along the way, per KYW's traffic report. Picked up 0.05" from it. There's another cluster going through Delco at the moment and will most likely miss me to the south. Currently mostly cloudy but clearing and 79 with dp 73. It did make it up to 95 as a high here after a low of 72 this morning.

Have a blob on my doorstep. Lots of convection associated with it. Has gotten breezy (may be the gust front) and temp has dropped down to 88 with dp 73.

Thunder boomer Watches up - IMBY, today is day 5 of the current heatwave with temps at or above 90. So far this month, I have had 13 days of 90 and above and with 9 days in June, season to date total is a whopping 22 (and we haven't even finished off July yet let alone gone through August). Currently a partly sunny and hazy 94 with dp 73.

"Strobing" is the perfect term! I finished up with 0.25" of rain but I'll take it. At least it knocked the temps down about 25 degrees and gave the plants some moisture. Definitely not enough for all the brown/dormant grass around here though. Have already bottomed out at 72 this morning and it's currently mostly cloudy, misty, and 74, with dp 72.

Getting a lot of cloud-to-cloud lightning. It's almost continuous. Briefly had almost 1.5"/hr rates but the line is a fast-mover, so not much to show for all the sound and fury so far - 0.23" in the bucket at post time but I'll take it! Temp is down to 75 with dp 72.
