Hurricane Agnes

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 -

Mt. Holly's climo for October for CWA sites - Had a low of 47 this morning and my high (so far) tapped 58. Currently sunny (not seeing any clouds) and 57 with dp way down to 36.

I ended up picking up another 0.01" from what was left of it as it passed over me for 0.17" today (so far because we seem to be getting widely scattered dark clouds floating around). I did make it up to 64 today after a low of 49 and currently partly sunny but with a broken deck of dark clouds overhead, 61 and a dp of 53.

I've been watching that and am surprised it is still hanging together. It had cleared out overnight and this morning (when I had popped out early this morning, it was completely clear with the stars easily visible). The sun has generally been out most of this morning but it is now starting to cloud up. Currently 54 and cloudy with dp 53.

Although "chances" of showers were progged, I didn't expect any at all. But ended up getting 0.14" on top of the earlier 0.29 for 0.43" for yesterday, and then got another 0.16 on the other side of midnight for a 3-day event total of 1.54". Currently clear, starry, and 51 with dp 50.

Ended up with 0.95" of rain yesterday and another 0.29" this morning for a total of 1.24" for the 2-day event (so far). Currently 57 (my low so far this morning) and dp 57, with a misty overcast.

Bottomed out a little warmer this morning at 50 and had an initial narrow ban of showers come through from SW to NE between 7:30 am - 8 am depositing 0.01". Had gone out early this morning to the supermarket and ran into it on my way home. It definitely had a "fall" feel out there in terms of the chilly breeze. Currently the overcast is starting to clear and temp is 52 with dp 47. Awaiting round 2.

Made it up to 61 today after bottoming out at 46. The sun was out pretty much all day except for late this afternoon, when it started clouding up. Currently 60 and mostly cloudy with dp 50. SPC SWDY2 has the SE part of the CWA under a marginal risk for severe with the rest of the area penciled in for some T-storms.

Ended up getting a little more overnight (0.03") just before midnight, for a total of 1.31" yesterday. I then got another 0.09" sometime between 2 am - 3 am today, giving me a 3-day event total of 2.17". That took my "below normal precip" for October, to above normal just from that event. I was surprised to have bottomed out at 48 at midnight and it's currently 56 and partly cloudy with dp 54.
