Hurricane Agnes

Had a low of 77 this morning and it's currently 91 with dp 78, so something is definitely bound to pop up later this afternoon with that combo (particularly with the front). WPC has it juicy here... Once Debby drifts back out into the Hotlantic, it will refuel and just tear up the coast.

Get ready! As an obs, I made it up to 92 as a high and it's currently 88 and partly cloudy with dp 73.

After a low of of 73 this morning, am currently mostly sunny and 89 with dp 71. You're almost in the cone!

Getting a round 2 shot - so far with an additional 0.05" along with some thunder. Currently have 0.43", temp 78, dp 77. Oh and "steamy windows alert".

That little line gave me 0.38" when all was said and done, giving me a 3-day total of 1.40". Before the rain, I hit a high of 83 (with a low of 72) and it's currently overcast, but clearing and misty, with a temp of 78 and dp of 77.

> 1"/hr rates for what will probably be a quick hitter. Have 0.19" in the bucket as post time. Temp 78 with dp 75.

There is a little line that formed that is incoming here in NW Philly. Will see if it holds together and gives me anything of note. Am just starting to get rain and am hearing thunder and it's coming down! I think the names are done by the international met organization. I was trying to check to see if there was a "Debbie" that might have been retired in the past.

Ended up with an additional 0.14" for a 3-round 0.65" for Saturday, and a 2-day total of 0.72". The high yesterday topped off at 91 before the rains dropped the temp significantly. Currently 72 with dp 71.

Getting another round of light rain now and picked up a couple hundreds so far from that (0.51" total for the day). Temp 72 and dp 71.

Doesn't look like much measurable in the immediate future so finished up wtih 0.41" on top of 0..07" from midnight for 0.48" so far today. Did have some thunder finally a couple minutes ago. Looks like there is some more stuff back around Harrisburg but I don't know how much of that will survive its way east. Currently 72 and misty with dp 71.

1.80"/hr rates with the back-build and 0.47" in the bucket (0.40" from round 2). Temp 74 and dp 72.

Ooo... a blob just did a back-build over me. Getting some rain again.

It's fast moving and cools the air rapidly so the atmosphere seems to stabilize. Am down to 76 with dp 72 and still only 0.16" (total 2 rounds) in the bucket.

Getting warned now. Have about 1/2" per hour rates and 0.16" in the bucket (0.09" on top of the 0.07" from midnight).

A blob coalesced over me and am getting rain. Temp dropped down to 81 with dp 72 and getting convection (no audible thunder though).

Line wants to fall apart down this way but hoping a couple blobs come over. It got real dark out with some nasty looking storm clouds! Current temp is 87 with dp 73 and breezy.

More Watches up (in addition to the Flood Watch) - I ended up getting a little more rain after midnight this morning - 0.07". I actually finished yesterday with 0.86" so have 0.93" over 2 days with more possibly on the way with that line that is out west. Low this morning was 74 and am currently at my high of 91 (day 4 of my current heatwave and I believe day 26 for 90+), with dp an awful 80.

Yeah looks like it's about done here and sky is brightening. Am seeing some epic outflow from that blob down by Wilmington. Unless something else bubbles up, looks like I finished with 0.85" and am glad. Supposed to possibly be more this weekend (I guess with a front) although it'll heat up before that gets close. Currently clearing, misty, and 75 with dp 75,

Getting over 2"/hr rates and now have 0.85" in the bucket at post time and am grateful! Temp down to 74 with dp 74.

Finally under a little heavier returns. Rain is steady but was so "quiet" I had to go check to see if it was actually raining. Currently3/4" per hour rates and have 0.27" in the bucket. Temp still 77 with dp 75.

Getting some thunder and rain and have 0.14" in the bucket. Temp down to 77 with dp 74.

Watches are up - Currently overcast and 90 with dp 78. Hoping the line holds together to give me something!

Day 3 to start yet another heatwave IMBY, with the last day of July having a 90/75 split and yesterday with a 97/74 split. This morning's low was 77 and had hit 90 by 9:30 this morning. High so far today was 95 which is my current with dp 77. Tally of 90+ days is now 25 IMBY for JJA. When I had briefly popped outside (foolish) earlier this morning, i saw an interesting combo of cirrus and cumulus - just all kinds of cloud types but still plenty of sun. I need rain! Last rain here was 9 days ago (thankfully a soaking but that as worn off). Hoping I can cash in on some of that incoming stuff! EC seems to have problems with tropical systems. The Ukie seems to do better!

Down to very light rain where the sun has popped out a few times and currently have 1.41" of beneficial rain at post time. Temp is rising again and at 75 with dp 75.

The heaviest of the blob has moved out although still have just over 1/2" hour rates. Currently have 1.38" in the bucket at post time since noon. Current temp is 72 with dp 72.
