Hurricane Agnes

Bottomed out at 38 this morning and had a high of 65. Definitely fall weather! Currently 50 with dp 46.

My low was 39 here in NW Philly this morning with a dp in the low 30s. Temp has recovered to 56 (my high so far) with dp 28. Am not ready to bust out the humidifiers yet.

Injured reserve so out the next 4 games and we grabbed Joe Milton from the Cowboys as another backup quarterback. Historically strong El Nino will have a river of warm Pac moisture and a good chance for the PV to stay bottled up. Winds have slacked off and am down to 46.

That line pretty much fizzled by the time it reached Philly. Ended up with 0.24" yesterday and 0.20" this morning, for a 0.44" 2-day total. That cold front was slllllooooowwww to move through and it took time for the CAA to ooze in. Got up to 61 at midnight and am currently at my low of 48 with dp a dry 33.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch up - Also a Freeze Watch in the western burbs. It's a warmish 69 here with dp 66 but that's about to go bye bye.

Ended up with 2.12" yesterday (one of my nephews who lives in Upper Darby had a birthday party so I drove to and from there through various intensities of that rain) and had 0.03" from the thundershower that came through here this morning between 2:30 am - 3:30 am, making for a 2-day total of 2.15". Got up to 62 with a 57 low yesterday so wasn't really "raw" but was pretty much an all day soaking. Low this morning was 54 and it's currently a mostly sunny 69 with dp 62.

A double hit in 6 years by a storm named Isaias! Got up to 71 after a low of 48. Currently 62 with dp 53.

Was 42 here this morning! Big high, clear skies, wind went calm overnight = efficient radiational cooling. And now there is Isaias (2) that might throw some moisture this way with any fronts. Isaias (1) from 2020 - https://www.weather.gov/phi/EventReview20200804

Bottomed out at 45 here in NW Philly, coldest low since May 8 IMBY. That will definitely start triggering plants and trees to start doing stuff. Got up to 70 as a high yesterday after a 51 low and it's currently 54 with dp 43. My tropicals don't like consistent night temps below the mid-50s so I usually start bringing them in to overwinter Columbus Day weekend, which is coming up. Looking forward to the Sixers this year, apparently the only Philly team winning (without stressing us out) and even just did so against last year's champs without our big 3. C

Got up to 85 for a high after a 63 low and picked up 0.17" for my first rain in October (so far). Currently 72 with dp 72 and waiting for that cold front to push through and take that humidity away.

Finished up with 2.24" yesterday and 0.27" this morning, for a 3-day event total of 3.16"and month total of 8.89". Storm center has crawled its way up to LI. Currently an overcast and misty 62 with dp 60.

It's moved inland and is spinning over south Jersey. Am now up to 1.89" for the day (2.54" 2-day, 8.26" for the month). Temp is 62 with dp 61.

Had been under the heavier bands much of the early morning, not gully washer level but about 1/3rd- 1/2"/hr rates. Rain has tapered down to light as the storm crawls north and pushed west right into Jersey (pushing the heavier bands inland). Currently 58 with dp 58 and 1.60" in the bucket (2.25" 2-day total ).

I actually had my high at midnight of 67 and low of 55 just before noon. Picked up 0.49" from the intermittent rain and it's currently a misty 59 with dp 56

The storm that shall not be named was a full tropical system - a hurricane - before it got up to this latitude and transitioned. It basically lead to some changes in how a hybrid storm would be handled in the future. This was never a home-grown fully tropical system however FAA is indicating delays with a possible stop on the table - https://nasstatus.faa.gov/

Full Moon this weekend will exacerbate any coastal flooding and higher than normal tides.

Ended up with a deluge of 1.82" Sunday night and a leftover 0.04" yesterday morning for 1.86" 2-day event total. Got up to 73 after a low of 62 yesterday. Have scattered showers this morning with 0/21" in the bucket, a much cooler low of 56 so far, and a dp of 56.

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.
