    WPC 5 am update (no change in winds, pressure, forward motion) -
  2. Hurricane Agnes
    Flooding at rivers and creeks around the area are going through extreme flooding.
  3. Hurricane Agnes
    No further rain overnight so still at 5.41" for the event. Currently 62 with dp 57.

    Was still getting on and off rain and finished up with 5.41" for the day (since it is now past midnight). Any additional will make it a 2-day event. There's still a little back edge left so maybe a couple hundredths more might be added on if that. Currently overcast and 63 with dp 63.

    Here is the latest - 3 hour delayed (for state workers) so appears the state will be open but the rivers haven't all crested yet so stay tuned because that might change.

    The 100 year ones are annual though, so there's that.

    Mt. Holly had posted a Climatology section in the AFD earlier this afternoon. I think it is safe to say that several sites including PHL broke a record for today!

    The wildest thing though was that there was some huge tree trunk that had washed down the river with the currents that literally got wedged near the top of one of the stone arches of one of the (I think) railroad bridges that goes over the river near there. It was literally wedged straight across and it stayed up there for almost a year before someone finally removed it. There used to be pics of it on the internet years ago but I haven't been able to find one recently.

    Schuylkill at 30th St. right at flood stage downtown.

    The Delaware at Washington Crossing is flooding. I also got a light blip of measurable rain and am now at 5.34" for the day.

    KYW had an alert thingy (I have their audacy app) about Murphy having declared a state of emergency and had called out the National Guard.

    Ugh. I remember when the river flooded pretty badly after the 1996 blizzard when the temp suddenly warmed and then there was some heavy rain. The muddy water lines were clearly visible on the huge plowed snow banks along Kelly Drive near the Falls Bridge and the water had come all the way up and over Ridge Ave. and had probably reached partially up the hills where Calumet or Midvale come down.

    Latest Mt. Holly tweet -

    There is still rain coming down to the west and the river has already flooded way out of its banks in Norristown, so expect it to get a bit higher down there. Back edge is coming soon and has finally stopped (at least with the measurable) here so far. Currently at 5.33" for the event so far (0.56" round 1 and 4.77" for round 2). Currently breezy, overcast, misty and 63 with dp 62.

    WPC 11 pm update (the rainstorm has strengthened to 40 mph, with pressure at 998 mb, and is now zipping along at 28 mph to the NE) -
  16. Hurricane Agnes
    Was just about to post it. The gauge is showing right around flood stage for the Delaware there.

    Getting another heavy blip over me with almost over 3/4" per hr rates and am now up to 5.20" for the event so far. This time I'm getting some winds... It's almost like one of those windy rainy fall days now. Temp is 64 with dp of 63. I think my Stratus holds 11" so hopefully I won't have that much in there when all is said and done when I finally go out to check it for comparison to the station.
  18. Hurricane Agnes
    Wow. I guess it briefly became a waterspout going over the water and that Delaware River water must have been worse than drinking Schuylkill Punch and just killed the thing.
  19. Hurricane Agnes
    Still getting the light to moderate rain and am over that 5" mark (currently 5.05" total for today). Temp is down to 64 and there are now some city near stem creeks and rivers out of their banks! Schuylkill at Norristown flooding, Wissahickon has leveled off since it's probably completely covering Lincoln Drive. Schuylkill at the falls is just above flood stage and the Schuylkill at 30th St. is getting close to flood stage.
  20. Hurricane Agnes
    I have had on and off heavy rain and am currently at 4.96" for the event with light rain (4.4" from round 2). The big news here is that the temp is down to 65 with dp 65, so definitely cooler and probably more stable here. Radar still has a back edge back in Lancaster County with what looks like some heavier returns further east so expect to get over the 5" mark at some point overnight.

    Those poor people up in North Jersey including the New Brunswick area have been getting the heaviest bands just raining over them for a couple hours.
  22. Hurricane Agnes
    I am still getting some light to moderate rain and am up to 4.36" for the event. Temp has finally dropped a bit down to 71 with dp 71.
  23. Hurricane Agnes
    Guess the license plate reader missed that so they won't know who to mail the bill to.
  24. Hurricane Agnes
    And WPC because they were nailing what would be the hardest hit areas.
  25. Hurricane Agnes
    I would think pure adrenaline and love for the job. I will say - you can't say they didn't "warn" people. TORs and FFWs have been flying all afternoon and evening and good use of the EAS because that damage looks pretty bad from the tornadoes. And we haven't even seen the poor people who keep getting flooded out by the creeks they may live near.
