Hurricane Agnes

Yesterday I bottomed out at 37, the coldest since April 12 IMBY, with a high of 61. This morning's low was a bit warmer at 42 and I made it up to 58 for a high after the cloud deck broke up. Didn't get any of the precip that had been moving north this morning, but exited to the northeast before it got all the way here. Currently 52 with dp 48.

Under that last line but so far only 0.01" additional for 1.73" for the day and 1.95" 2-day. My high ended up being 65 and it's currently 63 and overcast with dp 63.

Back edge has passed through here and the sun is popping in and out (still some dribs and drabs to the west). Finished up, for the most part, with 1.72" (total 1.94" over 2 days). Currently 65 (my high so far for today) with dp 64. Looks like a convective line formed right in Jersey!

Wowser! I picked up 0.22" just before midnight and have my first over 1" daily rainfall since Aug. 13, currently ticked over to 1.29", with ~1/3" per hour rates. Total for the 2 days is 1.51" at post time (missed out on much of the last little rounds over the past couple months with barely any nickle and dime amounts registered). Have 2.78" for the month at post time. Bottomed out at 49 this morning and currently at my high of 60, with dp 59. Much needed!

Winds ended up at 185 mph sustained at landfall with some gusts in the mountains upwards of 225 mph! Ryan Hall has been streaming and showing some of the area cameras and where those cameras are, structures seem to be hanging in there.

The last 2 days I had lows of 40 and 40 and this morning's low was 41. The highs were 59, 60, but cooler (so far) today at 57. I expect cloud cover was in play over the weekend. It's currently mostly sunny and 56 with dp 33. And OMFG, Melissa was at 175 mph sustained at the 2 pm update. Waiting for the next update.

I actually still have my central air on "cool" (with fan constant on to keep the temps even) and it has been keeping it a comfortable 68 in here. I know as soon as I put the heat on, then that will start the humidifier production for me (I have a bunch of them and that means tank fillings and filter changing, etc). I.e., the hot air will send my indoor humidity down below 30% and into the 20% or lower range.

2 years ago, some creature (either a rabbit or groundhog) got under my privacy fence and snipped off every stem of both my asiatic lilies and tiger lilies. Then they proceeded to eat my hosta like salad. Last year, my hosta struggled a bit but returned, but almost nothing of my lilies came back. I also had dwindling crocuses and snowdrops out front. So this year I bought a pile of bulbs (including 3 different types of lilies) and perennials for fall planting, and have been prepping the patio for winter. So have been busy! This morning's 40F just after 7 am, was my coldest low since April 18. I did make it up to 57 yesterday after a 43 low and it's currently 46 with dp 40. Am watching TS Melissa's wild, yank-to-the-north track and waiting to see if a faux Miller B type thing actually happens to interact with it. Right now, it looks like Melissa would absolutely devastate Jamaica if it rapidly intensifies before landfall as is progged. As it is, it's growing in size.

Was hoping to wake up to something this morning and with the successive bands, had 0.14" after the first, then a total of 0.17" after the 2nd, and finished up with a total of 0.20" with the last band, finally sending me over the 1" mark for the month at post time (1.13"). It was oddly warm and humid yesterday and I made it up to 75 after a 49 low and dps in the 60s as I was planting some bulbs for spring. I am currently at my low for the morning of 53 and a 68 just before 1 am may end up being my high for today.

Well I nickel and dimed my way to 0.38" yesterday with a 2nd round that took me to 0.32" from 0.30", and then another round to 0.38" for the day. This morning I had a surprising 0.08", giving me a grand total of almost 3/4" over 4 days (0.74") and 0.92" for the month so far. It bottomed out at 52 just after 6:30 this morning and hit 67 just before 3 pm for a high, after the skies cleared and the sun came out. Currently cloudy and 60 with dp 55.

I almost got more rain this morning (0.30") than the total of the last 3 "events" (in quotes - 0.18", 0.25", 0.03" ). Rates got as high as about 1/4" per hour. Total for the month so far is 0.76". Bottomed out just before 9 am at 53 and had hit my high (so far) around 2:15 am. Currently drizzle and mist, with temp 54, and dp 53.

Bottomed out at 48 this morning at midnight before clouds must have rolled in to kill any radiational cooling. Ended up hitting 64 for a high just before noon and what are some intermittent bands of light rain that have passed overhead backing in from the SE. It's currently 61 with a little band that gave me 0.03" so far, and dp 59. Also saw that it appears La Nina is here through the rest of fall and into early winter - https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso_advisory/ensodisc.shtml I think we sort of know the drill on that!

Bottomed out at 40 this morning here in NW Philly, the lowest since April 13 IMBY. That will probably trigger some leaf coloring in the area (most of the tree leaves around here are still mostly green, with a few starting to yellow and others going direct to brown - probably from the lack of rain). Currently clear and 44 with dp 35. P.S. - I know Philly is in mourning this morning with a trifecta of Philly teams losing last night.

That pre-frontal rain was stingy as hell here. I got up this morning expecting to have had something and there was nada until about 7 am when some droplets finally fell from the sky. Grand total was 0.18" and that has been all for the month so far (September was 2.39" IMBY). My high was 70 at midnight and I bottomed out with the front to 61 at 10:45 this morning. It's currently mostly sunny and 69 with dp 53.

I remember hoping they would let us off work early but alas. NYC got bullseyed. What is notable is where the heaviest bands of rain within our CWA set up (more to the north and west of Philly metro) - But the winds along the coast were fierce! As an obs, it's currently overcast and 77 with dp 65. Am looking at the doppler with rain to our south. Need some of that up here!

I saw one weather site talking about Fujiwhara. I remember that in the eastern Pacific in 2017 with Hurricane Hilary and TS Irwin - NASA had an interesting write-up and graphic of that - https://gpm.nasa.gov/extreme-weather/hilary-and-irwin-interaction-shown I got really screwed the past 3 days with the rain. Only got a total of 0.47" over those 3 days,with yesterday's 0.29" as the largest of the series. As an obs, I bottomed out at 66 this morning and got up to 81 as a high. Was surprised to see so much blue sky! Currently 74 with dp 64.

And it looks like the front has moved the band to coastal NJ and it's starting to clear here, with the sun trying to pop in and out. The rain gods gave me an extended, much needed soaking, with nothing over around 0.5"/hr. Ended up with 0.87" in the bucket for today, so along with the 0.01" just before midnight, I have a 2-day event total of 0.88". Currently 68 and clearing, with dp 63.

Got zero. Zilch. Nada from that prefrontal line but YAY for this current round that has been doing a slow soak since just before midnight. The "heavier" (in quotes) rates have come after 3 am, going as high as about 0.50"/hr but averaging in the 0.10 -0.30" per hour range. Currently have light - moderate rain, with temp 61, dp 61, and 0.49" in the bucket.

Well as expected, that initial line completely broke up and fizzled as it passed over me, so got nada. I still ran out to put some fall fertilizer on the plants in case I get some kind of rain to get it watered in. Currently overcast with breaks of sun and 83 with dp 75. I did see the ST Watch up -

I have a PM 2.5 sensor outside and something pinged it twice this week and figured maybe someone was bbqing nearby (which will cause that too), but didn't see anyone grilling. Looked like it was yesterday and Tuesday night. Otherwise, I bottomed out at 70 this morning and it shot up to 87 before clouding over. Currently a humid 85 with dp 75 and some little segment just to my northwest.

Picked up 0.43" from 2 rounds (0.34" + another 0.09" later). Will take it! Last rain here was 0.10" on August 20th. Had bottomed out at 61 and got up to 83 yesterday. The humidity was clearly felt though. Currently 66 with dp 65. OT but glad the Iggles came through on game 1 (even with the lightning delay) because Dallas sucks!

(Added this to the fall thread ) - Finished up August with 2.57" of rain and only 3, 90+ degree days. Final tally for JJA was 13.60" of rain and 26 days of 90+ (including the 1st triple digit day -100- since 2012). After a low of 54 yesterday, made it up to 78 for a high. Currently 60 with dp a pleasant 56.

Ended up with 1.57" out of that (so far). Woot! Up until today, I only had 0.04" for the month. Currently 73 with dp 73.

Just missed 90 yesterday but did make it up to 91 today after a 73 low. The rain gods have come! At one point I got up to 4"/hr rates but am running between 1 - 2" per hour. So far have 1.35" in the bucket. Currently 43 with dp 72. Am getting a FFW right now.
