Hurricane Agnes

Hit 91 for a high today after a 72 low and it's currently 85 with the dp finally out of the mid-upper 70s and sitting at 70. As a precip note, I only got 0.04" out of that storm that came through yesterday as most of us watched it disintegrate as it moved east, north of I-76. For the first week of August though, I actually have 4.42" of rain.

Severe thunderstorm Watch went up - I did hit 90 today so being the 3rd day, officially another "heatwave". Currently 84 and stormy looking with dp 73.

It had a good hook on it for a bit and left some wind damage.

From the 2 rounds of rain yesterday, I got 0.49" from round 1 and an additional 0.04" from round 2 for 0.53" total. My high was 93 before rnd 1 knocked it down to 85 and rnd 2 all the way down yo 73. Looks like the next few days will be Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Currently 73 with dp 73.

T-storm Watches up. Didn't get anything from that system last night. Got up to 92 after a 74 low yesterday. Had a 73 low this morning and it's currently an awful 92 with 78 dp.

Getting round 3 with >1"/hr and am at the 1.00" mark for the day so far. Temp 77/dp 76.

Well good luck out west. Oddly enough, when I was out there about 25 years ago, other than there obviously being the wall of Rocky Mountains nearby and not being near a harbor, Denver reminded me of Baltimore (probably due to the extant buildings there built during a similar era as those in Baltimore). Denver has their notorious "spring snow", so that might be an adjustment . Regarding this round 2, I got side-swiped by the heaviest rain and picked up 0.35" for a total of 0.79" today. Sun is out and temp is 78 with dp an awful 77.

Have managed to get under a rain blob that moved up from the SW, briefly giving me >1"/hr rates. Currently 73 with dp 72 and moderate rain that dumped 0.44" in the bucket so far.

Rain band was a quick mover so did finish up with 1.79" total for the day so far. Sun has been back out now and has really juiced up the atmosphere. Currently 80 with dp 79.

Round 3 here in NW Philly with another thin but potent band coming through with > 2"/ hr rates. Now at 1.79" at post time Temp 76/dp 74.

Looks like the Wissahickon hit bankfull.

Now up to 1.40" with light rain (1.82" 2-day). Temp 75/dp 74.

Round 2 has intensified and has me up to over 1"/hr along with a thunderstorm. Have 1.33" in the bucket .

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.

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!

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.

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.

I finished up with 0.39" yesterday after a couple rounds (2-day total 1.29"). Currently a misty 68 with dp 68.

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)..

Tornado Watch lofted -

Severe Thunderstorm Watches issued for the area -

Love the rainbow at the end of the video!

Have been watching the cell just SW of Allentown. it seems to be reforming.

Sun back out. Finished up with 0.90" of needed rain. Currently 71 with dp 71.

Under angry blob with >2"/hr. Have 0.57" in the bucket. Temp 68, dp 66.
