Hurricane Agnes

Usually the crickets slow down when it's chilly! On warm nights, they are roaring. My low yesterday was 54 (lowest IMBY since June 9) and this morning was 57. Am enjoying the dps in the 50s for a change. Currently 59 with dp 57.

Finished up with 2.25" and the sun is starting to come out. Currently 73 with dp 72.

You guys got a confirmation of receipt of that here in NW Philly. I know there is a little creek here (Cresheim Creek) that feeds into the Wissahickon, that definitely floods across the bottom of the hilly street that runs parallel to it.

Just got a different kind of get-my-attention EAS. IMMINENT THREAT ALERT Am down to lighter rain at the moment and now have 2.25" in the bucket since last reported. Temp/dp 70.

Had some rounds light rain earlier this morning but have been under a gully washer of >2.5" - 3"/hr and am up to 1.98" in the bucket at post time. Currently heavy rain and 69 with dp 69.

The Atlantic is at its peak for SSTs this time of year which is why it's normally the peak for hurricanes too. But the strong El Nino is suppressing/shearing apart any potentials.

I missed out on the more significant rains the past couple of days (just 0.05 total over 2 days), so this time I got nailed. Have 1.01" for the month so far.

Finished up with 0.96" this morning. More possible this afternoon once the temp cranks up. Currently overcast with temp/dp 71.

Autumn thread is up - Noting that I finished up with 0.96" from the early morning storms. Currently 71 with dp 71.

The storm a couple of days ago was a light show with little rain for me but this one is a definite and almost continuous sound and light show for the past 3 hours. Currently have 0.83" total after an initial round 1 of 0.67". Temp dp both 69.

Did remember to start up in this thread. Ended up with 8.06" of rain for August. And as an obs for yesterday, I did manage to hit 90 after a 72 low. Last evening was an almost continuous lighting show and the precip blobs were impressive but I only got a whopping 0.02" from that. i noticed the line was moving fast so that might have cut down on the totals here. My sis, BIL, and nephew were at the Linc at a Bruno Mars concert last night. They initially had an hour rain/lightning delay and resumed just before 8:30 pm per her text, but then they were apparently forced to shelter in place and the show didn't resume until almost 10 pm per this - https://www.fox29.com/news/bruno-mars-raye-concert-philly-paused-due-severe-weather Currently 69 with dp 69.

Been finally getting some heavier returns but no gully washers and lots of convection picked up by my lightning detector the past couple hours. Mainly scattered cells. Currently have 3/4"/hr rates and 0.62" in the bucket. Temp 67/dp 66.

It mostly split up and moved north and south of the city. i registered 0.01" and was surprised to get that. There has been lots of convection around though. The humidity with dews back up in the 70s, has made it miserable again. Currently overcast and 75 with dp 73.

Thunderstorm Watches are up.

Well I had round 1 of rain between 4 am - 5 am and am now getting a quick round 2 from a cell that I had been watching for a couple hours.. So far have an additional 0.09" for 0.98" for the day at post time. Will probably cross 1" shortly. After a low of64, made it up to 81 and am currently down to 65 with dp 61.
