Hurricane Agnes

Picked up 0.33" of rain yesterday, with a lot of sound and fury but not as much rain as expected but I take! Made it to 85 after a 67 low yesterday. Today it looks like I maxed at 94 just after 3 pm after a low of 71. Currently 89 with dp a horrid 77 and a STS was just lofted for the area (saw the line way out west and will see if it holds together) -

I missed a 90 yesterday so no "heatwave". Made it to 89 after a low of 66. Didn't have high hopes for the line to hold together but it did. There appeared to be mixing of cooler air during the day though and eventually once the gust front came through, it knocked the temps down about 15 degrees ahead of the rain. I did get 0.26" out of that, my first rain for the month. Currently partly sunny and 84 (my high for the day so far) with lots of cumulus, after a low of 65, and dp is 68.

And believe it or not, I managed to eke out another degree for my high and managed to get to 91 just before 4 pm. Otherwise it's currently mostly sunny an 86 with dp 59.

Tapped 90 for the first time this month about 45 minutes ago, my 5th 90 or above temp for the year so far. Just missed it yesterday when I didn't get past 89. After a 65 low this morning, it's currently sunny and 89 with dp 60.

And I managed to squeeze out another 0.05" this morning for a 6-day total of 3.36" for the event and 4.46" for the month so far. Much warmer today (and the sun popped out this afternoon), getting me to a high of 74 after a low of 57. It's currently 69 with dp 67.

Have been calculating my totals from this long duration event and so far - 5/20 - 0.81" 5/21 - 0.31" 5/22 - 0.05" 5/23 - 0.74" 5/24 - 1.40" 5-day TOTAL = 3.31" (Month to date = 4.41") Today was the heaviest so far, pretty much a month's worth these last 5 days that was needed for a good soaking after that heat! Bottomed out at 50 and made it to 59 for a high. currently overcast and 58 with dp 57.

I was finally able to register my non-diurnal temps for yesterday which were a 67 high at midnight and a 54 low just after 11:30 am. Picked up 0.31" of rain yesterday for a 2-day event total of 1.12". My high and low today ended up almost being the same (so far) and as the precipitation shield has drifted north (where there was no precip until later this afternoon), I have picked up 0.05" so far for a 3-day of 1.17". It's currently 53 (my low so far) and overcast/misty, with dp 50.

Finished up yesterday's round of rain at a much-needed 0.81". My temps are still dropping this morning so may not have hit my low yet, but am currently an overcast 57 with dp 50. More rain appears to be slowly moving in from the west.

My lightning detector has picked up literally hundreds and hundreds of strikes (am guessing mostly cloud-to-cloud) but I haven't seen any obvious flashes and finally heard one weak thunder seemingly from a distance, about 10 minutes ago. Temp has been knocked down to 70 (dp 69) and have 0.61" in the bucket with light rain.

AHHHHHHHH. RAIN! Am under a small cell and it dropped my temp from 90 down to 72. Have 0.51" in the bucket at post time.

I had nothing measurable but if it did something after I went to bed to wet the walks, it was evaporated by early this morning! SPC in Norman is up with the Severe Thunderstorm Watches -

Well the diffused blob was so diffuse that I got nothing from it other than more humidity. I bottomed out at 70 this morning and it's currently 86 with a dp of 70 (which should be banned anytime before July). I did see the upcoming forecast for rain on and off into the weekend so hopefully I get something from that (looks like an overrunning event along the cold front).

I was watching that line (literal west to east) run across your area. Figured you might cash in. There were scattered cells that went north of me but my lightning detector didn't miss that trick. Am hoping the diffused blob moving up from the southwest will give me enough to wet the leaves. High today IMBY ended up being 95 and it's currently 82 with dp 65.

After a 67 low yesterday, I hit 95 for a high just before 3 pm. Another scorcher today with my low so far a little with my low of 71 so far about 4 degrees warmer than yesterday. Currently sunny and 72 with dp 69.

Heat Advisory hoisted for Philly metro - Seems close to the earliest having one for mid-90s in May! Got up to 88 yesterday after a 62 low and it's currently 67 with dp 63. Only have 1.10" of rain for the month so far and shrubs were already wilting yesterday.
