  1. As a 2-day event total update, I had 0.42" total yesterday after overnight rain, and along with this morning's round, with another band over me right now ticking me up to 1.07", have 1.49" for 2 days. Temp 76/dp 75.
  2. Now up to 1.06" after more heavy rain. Glad to see the FFW that was carved around to exclude NW Philly, was supplemented with a new one to include it as I know there are some low-lying areas bordering creeks, that do flood with these kinds of heavy rain bursts. Currently in a break from the rain, with temp 75 and dp 74. Steambath!
  3. Getting gully washer the past 10 minutes with ,>2"/hr, went from 0.08" to 0.85" in the bucket here in NW Philly. Temp/dp both 76.
  4. I finished July with 5.69" of rain but my last rain hit was 0.02" this past Thursday. Need a good soaker. No 90s the past 3 days, but 88s for highs including today. Have been watching what was once a solid rain band that has become disorganized as it moved east. Currently an overcast 84 and 73 dp. Also, I don't know if it just this area but I haven't heard any crickets yet. Usually they would have been going last month and the katydids would be warming up now.
  5. I finished up with 0.39" yesterday after a couple rounds (2-day total 1.29"). Currently a misty 68 with dp 68.
  6. Just listening to NOAA Weather radio and heard the auto-guy call your area "Qwee-care-town. So far the rain band has diffused over me and I only have 0.10" in the bucket after a couple passes, with only light rain sitting over me at the moment. Not complaining since I got 0.90" yesterday . Currently 70 with dp 69 (had a high of 83 today)..
  7. Have been watching the cell just SW of Allentown. it seems to be reforming.
  8. Sun back out. Finished up with 0.90" of needed rain. Currently 71 with dp 71.
  9. Under angry blob with >2"/hr. Have 0.57" in the bucket. Temp 68, dp 66.
  10. Have hear 2 loud thunderbooms from the cells that are moving east of me. There is some mPing report of >1" hail. The dews crept into the low 70s but with the convection to my east, they dropped a few degrees. Hit up to 89 after a 67 low snd before the popcorn started. Currently 81 with dp 68.
  11. It's official. Chief meteorologist Cecily Tynan to retire after more than 30 years with Action News Her last broadcast will be on Monday, Aug. 31. https://6abc.com/post/cecily-tynan-retirement-announcement-6abc-action-news-wpvi/19562769/ Birds will be in mourning !
  12. EF0 confirmed at Cape May Point plus info on 3 other tornadoes that day - As an OBS, I bottomed out at 63 this morning and it's currently a sunny 75 with dp a refreshing 58.
  13. Well I finished up with a whopping 0.09" while watching the training sefere slobg the PA/ND/DE border. high was 86/low 71. KYW was talking about the waterspouts becoming landspouts down at Cape May Point. Area will be surveyed today. Currently overcast and 71 with dp 70.
  14. Tornado Watches up for the area (plus a TOR in north Jersey) -
  15. Amazingly, I dropped even lower for a low this morning after posting, that hit 59. That meant AC off and house aired out. Did get up to 85 for a high and it's currently 77 with dp 62 - more normal for summer.
  16. I was wondering what happened when my GR2Analyst stopped updating yesterday. I eventually switched to KDOX. I ended up at 87 for a high after a 69 low and only picked up 0.34" total from 2 rounds yesterday . Today was like day and night with the dp drop... actually tolerable. High was 82 after a 69 low and smoke mostly cleared out. Currently mostly sunny and 80 with dp 60.
  17. Similar here with temp 83 and dp 77. Lightening detector is picking up the stuff north of here.
  18. Fell short of any triple digits here in NW Philly yesterday but did make it up to 96 after a 73 low. it was still brutal with the humidity and dps into the upper 70s... until some convective outflow boundary from the upstate storms, washed down over the city and knocked the dps down almost 10 degrees. Currently hazy, smokey and 80 with dp 72,
  19. Plus he was the Superintendent of schools there. it was just over 4 years ago when you sent me down the rabbit hole, eventually finding the guy's house! As an OBS, got up to 86 yesterday after a low of 65. The dps have been in the low 60s making it tolerable but that's about to change. Currently 66 with dp 62.
  20. Ended up with 0.14" where the heaviest hit SW of me. I have 3.95" for the month so far, so it was not a desperate need for now. Currently overcast and 77 with dp 73. Heard someone on Accuwx earlier today mention triple digits again for later next week .
  21. Under a red blob but just getting tupjca thunderstorm rain. My sister whose flight to FL was already 90 minutes late (due to overbooking), finally got off the ground about 45 minutes ago as the storm cells were approaching. Currently have 0.06"with temp 75, dp 73.
