Hurricane Agnes

There was a TOR up around your area sometime between 5 and 5:30 pm. I think there was a report of a funnel by a spotter. Looks like my low was 72 this morning and the sun is trying to peak out between the debris clouds. Current temp is 75 with dp 73.

I'm pretty much done. Any residual will probably be unmeasurable. Still seeing lightning flashes off to the north and east but not hearing any thunder. Finished up with 1.19" for the day in 2 rounds. Temp is currently 72 with dp 71. I saw the reports of a water rescue in Bensalem and noting the Frankford and Pennypack Creeks are out of their banks, so some of the places that got hit Monday, got hit again. There's flooding on the Schuylkill Expressway between Montgomery and City Ave. going westbound in the SE Montco area.

The front end of it is on Trenton's doorstep. I'm down to light but still productive rain and am up to 1.17" in the bucket. Grateful I won't have to water for a few days! TOR just got lofted in Wrightstown south of you.

The heaviest rains have moved on east and I'm getting light to moderate but still quite a bit of rocking and rolling. Currently up to 1.13" in the bucket with about a 1/2" per hour rate. Temp is 72 with dp 71.

Jackpotted. Rates variable but around 2.75"/hr and am up to 0.96" at post time.

Fireworks in progress. Getting rainfall rates of ~2.4"/hr and am up to 0.85" for the event so far and rising rapidly. Temp at 73 with dp 73.

Anything that Edward G. Robinson appears in only illustrates how comfortable he is just playing any kind of role. I am getting walloped. Warnings flying. Getting 1.4"/hr rate at the moment and am up to 0.42" so far. Temp is 75.

Lauren Bacall is da bomb! As much as people love Casablanca, I prefer Bogart in Key Largo (probably my favorite movie with him). Am on the precipice of some incoming cells... That line has taken its sweet time moving east but seems to have accelerated its forward motion now. Am currently at 78 with dp 75 so still a bit juicy here and not really stabilized. And as I'm typing this, up goes a Thunderstorm Warning. ETA - game on! Rain has commenced!

Hopefully not too much after what happened to you guys this past Monday! Made the national news alongside Germany & Belgium.

Was gonna post that it looks like the big dry slot over your area is slowly starting to fill in. Meanwhile I could use a little more. It's down to 75 with dp down a bit to 72 but that means a steamy window alert.

That little cell was moving fast and only deposited 0.14" but I'll take. Temp is down to 77 with dp 75.

RAIN!!! Thunderstorm. THANK GOODNESS!!!!! Up to 0.04" but a blob just expanded and is moving north over me.

That complex up in North Jersey has a well-defined outflow boundary that has been moving to the SE. Am back down to 86 with dp 77 and still waiting for some blip to at least give me 1/4" for the effort. The firehose flow that is starting to produce some stuff through the city is still generally to my east although it looks like it starting to backbuild a bit to the west.

They just threw up a Warning on this but it is to my east. Am hearing thunder from it. Temp is 87 with dp 75. It's like dry begets dry.

There's a TOR up for the Flemington area. I know an earlier warning had a spotter see a funnel. Still nothing measurable here and temp down to 86 with dp 77.

Getting some light rain, enough to start wetting the sidewalk but not measurable yet. Temp is down to 87 but dp is 77, so still juicy.

Hearing thunder and the lightning sensors all around are lighting up!

It's clouded over here but the rain has been missing me entirely. The clouds did drop my temp down to 90, but the dp is still up there at 75.

Getting some big raindrops as I get fringed by some small popups coming in from the SW of me. Temp dropped a few degrees to 92 with dp 76.

I can't believe I that I ended up looking that up and then watching Youtube reviews of it. If it can nail lanternflies then it would be worth it! You might still get sideswiped by the connecting stuff between those split cells. Am watching some little blips trying to bubble up in central Delco and southern Montco to see if I can get something. Poor plants are frying. Sun has been in and out and am currently bopping between 94 and 95 (am at 95 at post time) with 76 dp.

Now at 95 with dp 77. Mailman just deposited some mail in my mailbox... Poor guy.

You made me look and yup, my sensor is lighting up! My temp briefly hit 94 but it's back down to 93.

SPC up with the Severe Thunderstorm Watches for the CWA (pretty extensive area too) - It's literally the entire states of NJ & DE and 3/4 of the state of PA! Currently 93 with a 77 dp and some cumulus starting to bubble up.

Or something out of a Louisiana bayou. High noon (yes I did briefly go out and run back in), and it's 93 with dp still bopping between 78 and 79. Sometimes on days like this there is an active SW breeze but today so far, barely a breeze to be seen or felt.

Yeah I think it's all the brick and stone around here that absorbs the heat and radiates it, especially if there is extended heat. I am probably about 150 ft from a strip of woods, but that is to my east and it would have probably made more of a difference if they were near the west side. If we hadn't had as much rain as we have had so far this year, then we would have certainly reached triple digits this summer, which will probably not happen this year given the pattern (unless the pattern does a major change and shuts off the faucet). AND... as I type this, I'm sitting at 90, with a 79 dp (that is bopping between 78/79).
