Hurricane Agnes

I did make it up to 48 today vs yesterday's high of 46. Lots of CAA and wind going on today and with a low of 36 this morning, and times of sun and clouds, am currently mostly cloudy with breaks in the cloud deck here and there, and 46, with dp 33.

That cold front meant some business and I bottomed out at 32 for a few hours after 3 am and am now up to 37, with frost, a dp of 31, and variable skies with lots of whispy cirrus obscuring the sun most times.

Back edge has blasted through and sun is out with clearing and blue sky overhead and to the west. Even with a couple minutes of the yellow over me at the end (image of closest approach below), I still got hardly anything. Currently 0.07". Temp down to 42 and dp 39. Mt. Holly just lofted a Wind Advisory.

Wow. Looks like the yellow band just dissolved away as it approached NW Philly. Maybe it broke up over the hills or something. Temp is now down to 43 with dp 40 and have 0.06" from it so far. Winds are still gusty.

Finally getting a little rain and so far have 0.02" in the bucket. Temp has plummeted to 46 with dp 44. Yellow band hasn't come through yet but getting real close now...

Gust front is coming through here at the moment and am getting a bit of a leaf-zard. Temp starting to drop quickly and down to 53 with dp 46. Still nothing in the bucket yet but there's a narrow line headed this way that might give me something.

All I know is that as waves started moving over me, I have been virga'd. Not a drop out of any of it although it has been breezy. So far my low has been 41 this morning and it's currently churning in the sky and 57 with dp 48. Looks like most of the action is north and east.

Sun out and temp creeping up. Now at 62 here with dp 55.

Looks like the back edge is past me now so I ended up with 0.39" from that today. There's a clipper that might blow through here over the weekend so will see what that does. Currently overcast, misty, and 59 with dp the same.

So far this morning, all kinds of dry slots have opened up and I only started getting some rain about 5 am and then it sortof disappeared and then briefly returned and sortof went away. Currently have 0.26", with heavier bands to the west and east. I just lifted and replanted a peony yesterday hoping to get it rained in so we'll see. Since fronts are moving through (warm first and cold soon), my high so far just before the rain, was 63, with a low of 56 coming just after midnight. Currently overcast, misty and 62, with dp the same. SPC SWDY1 did put the eastern part of the CWA in a marginal risk for severe -

Had a low of 48 this morning but didn't hit 70 today - "only" 65 but it was still a pleasant fall day. Currently 50 with dp 44. CPC was calling for an above average temp and equal chances precip winter due to La Nina - I think it will depend on how strong (or weak) the La Nina becomes. The chances for snow to rain are higher - although last year's La Nina resulted in an above-normal amount of frozen precipitation in the CWA, but some of us had a couple events that were absolute sleetfests.

My high surprisingly hit 70 today after my full expectation that it would under perform here (I usually run ~3 below KPHL). I guess the full sun helped but then there was still a light "cool" breeze too so... Currently clear and 53 with dp now up to 47.

Low this morning was 43 and it's currently sunny and 60 with dp 44. Just seeing this new WPC product change for flood potential - I suppose it makes it easier to deal with although I always interpreted a Flash Flood Watch as a sudden, short duration event vs a Flood Watch as something that could go on for some time (although they apparently still plan to use the FF Watch for certain circumstances).

Don't forget the temper tantrums when someone finds themself trapped in a dry slot (especially if still in one as the storm bands pivot). This morning's low of 41 was much warmer than the past mornings here, probably thanks to an overnight cirrus deck and light breezes. Currently sunny and clear and 50 with dp 37,

I saw where an RER was issued for Allentown for a low of 23 this morning - Apparently some interpreted it as "-23". Currently 53 (54 may end up being my high), partly sunny with a deck of cirrus and a dp of 32.

Many a Thanksgiving parade here in Philly has had some flakes (or actually flurries) flying at some point during it, so that's about right... My low was a "warmer" 34 this morning most likely due to a light breeze and high clouds. Currently mostly sunny with scattered cirrus and 50 with dp 33.

Had a high of 51 yesterday and my low this morning was 31 after winds went calm some time between 1 - 4 am. That was the lowest temp here since March. Currently mostly sunny and 33 with dp 29.

My low this morning was a wee bit warmer at 33 vs the 32 of yesterday morning and that might have been due to a light breeze that kept up overnight, and possibly due to any leftover clouds before things cleared out. It's currently sunny and 43 with dp 33, so still chilly.

People were scraping windshields here this morning and the 32 was my final low for today (so far). My today (so far although I think we're done with warming) was 50. Currently 50 with a high deck of cirrus and dp a dry 29. Mt. Holly ended the growing season for many of the metro counties included Philly -

Now down to 32 with dp 31. That high overhead means business.

With beverage! I think my growing season is about to end. Am currently at 33 IMBY with dp 31. I still have under 2 hours before sunrise and winds went calm just before 3 am, so getting efficient radiational cooling.

Bottomed out at 36 about 8 minutes after sunrise and I expect the intermittent light breezes overnight prevented complete radiational cooling. Have rebounded a bit with the sun and now am currently up to 37 and sunny, with dp 33. Will soon be time to whip out the humidifiers (still haven't turned the heat on yet but I expect I may have to do so for tonight).

I barely got over 50 today (high was 51 around 11 am), and it's been mostly cloudy to overcast and drizzly most of the afternoon with falling temps. So far I got 0..03" of precipitation collected throughout the day. Currently 44 and misty with dp 42.

Mt. Holly has the frost advisories and freeze warnings up - Brought the rest of my potted plants (citrus and tender perennials) in yesterday (except my fig, which needs to go dormant before bringing in). Ended up with that 58 as a high yesterday and it's certain I probably won't hit that today. Currently 47 (a little "warmer" than I expected here due to a deck of high clouds) with dp 39.

Freeze Watch up for areas outside Philly metro -
