    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.

    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) -

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  13. 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.

    Guess the license plate reader missed that so they won't know who to mail the bill to.

    And WPC because they were nailing what would be the hardest hit areas.
  16. 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.

    Rain has let up a bit and down to about 1/2"/hr but am now at 4.03" for the event (3.47" for round 2), so the calls for " 4" - 6" " in the I95 corridor have definitely verified. There are some other streaky blobs to the west and am not sure if they will go over me but, we shall see.
  18. Hurricane Agnes
    Wissahickon looks to probably be out of its banks.
  19. Hurricane Agnes
    Getting hammered with heavy rain now. Getting close to 3"/hr. Am up to 3.66" for the event at post time.
  20. Hurricane Agnes
    Spotter reported a funnel cloud near Tulleytown.
  21. Hurricane Agnes
    Just had a close loud lightning strike.
  22. Hurricane Agnes
    Have been hearing thunder hear. Rain has started back up again and just over 1"/hr rates. Temp and dp at 75.

    WPC 5 pm update (winds have picked up, system has deepened a bit, but still moving at 25 mph ENE) -
  24. Hurricane Agnes
    Rain has lightened a bit at the moment but am at 3.00" on the dot at the moment (total for the event).
  25. Hurricane Agnes
    Saw that they were indicating it was in the Mullica Hill area.
