Hurricane Agnes

Birds69 about to get nailed. I may be fringed by this pop-up. ETA am getting the thunder.

I got a quick dowsing from that one that is sitting in Philly that drifted up form the south and cut across me. Took the temp down from around 92/93 to a current 84.

Wow - something bubbled up in southern Montco right on the Philly border, zoomed into Roxborough and then rose up over me so it's literally pouring over me with a southern blip while the sun is out to the west. Currently up to 0.02" and temp at 88 with dp 78.

Tapped 94 just before 3 pm. Seeing some hazy cumulus starting to appear to partially obscure the sun. It's currently partly cloudy, and 93 with dp 75. Am not seeing anything popping up on the radar that is nearby at the moment.

Thar she blows from SPC -

I know this is you -->

Hit 90 just after noon today and am now up to 92 at post time with dp 76. It's definitely hazy out and as a note that I forgot to mention, I finally heard my first cicada early this morning.

Already up to 79 here now (dp 72) and a TC Elsa cone that looks interesting to say the least. Have to follow that evolution closely.

The little $19.99 consumer pack of "fireworks" from the Acme that my sister got (which have always been legal - basically sparklers, and ground stuff like the little spinner thingys, and small tube fountain things) are no where near the level of the aerial types that were recently legalized in PA. I.e., stuff that won't (and didn't) completely freak out my little grand-nieces and grand-nephews who really can't do "professional" fireworks (it's too much for them - which is often the case for the infant - 7 year old set). Her street has had more young families move in recently and thus more little kids are around on their bikes and scooters, and after the past year of lockdowns, they seemed to enjoy being out and about around the other kids on the street - especially for the little "home" fireworks displays. I told my sis that it looks like her street is now at a period (aside from lingering COVID issues) where they could actually have a decent block party. As an obs, my low this morning was 72 and when I went out earlier to put a reflector thing up for my car windshield, I felt the soup. Current temp is 76 with dp 71 so... here we go!

Made it up to 88 as a high today with a definite increase in the humidity happening. Currently 79 and clear with dp 68.

My low this morning ended up being 63 and am now on the way back up again. Currently mostly sunny and a bit misty off in the distance since the winds went calm this morning, and 66 with dp 65. Today is supposed to possibly be the "coolest" for the rest of the week.

Just got home not long ago from my sister's house in Upper Darby and it's currently 68 with dp 65, so the dews are creeping up. Earlier this afternoon, her area got some light rain from what looked like some nasty blob that sideswiped them to the east (we could see the dark clouds), cut across the city and then the river, and finally blew through South Jersey. Her whole neighborhood (including her) had the fireworks going this evening plus where she lives up in the hills, you can look down her street and see the downtown fireworks. My whole trip home with my other sis featured firecrackers going in every neighborhood we drove through to get out to Wyndmoor so I could drop her and my niece off. lol I guess people were making up for last year.

For some reason, the "width" issue got fixed in that Help forum's thread but not in ours and it was initially good when the badges were removed, but then reverted back again sans badges but with the gap. Pretty amazing that there is a below-60 low in July. My current temp is 59 with dp 58. Had a little mist earlier but it has generally been clear to partly cloudy here as the sun rises (I know there is a dense fog advisory up for the NW 'burbs).

Yeah, they pretty much reverted most of it back to what it was except for the number of posts (which is reduced to how many "k"... lol). Most of the pop-up storms either fizzled or literally just missed me. I got some leftovers/fringe stuff that amounted to 0.08" (so far) but I won't complain. That's less I'll have to water.

The stuff that has been nailing Birds had been fizzling before it gets down here although it has gotten dark and foreboding here again and I'm getting some light rain, but it had not been enough to be measurable yet. And just like that, I had noticed that Birds had a "leaf" badge in his mouth and then it disappeared. Gone. The Eagle had had enough. They're all gone and the stuff on the side is gone too! Temp is 69 here with splats starting to pick up enough to finally tip the bucket and am up to 0.04".

Getting "Florida-style" weather here now. Sun comes out, temp jumps up, sun self-destructs, light rain drops commence, temp drops, clouds move away, sun comes out, wash, rinse, repeat. That has made it downright humid in here and the fan is not helping (just turned on the ac again to maybe help dehumidify). My tropical plants live this stuff though! Currently light rain drops, 70, and partly sunny, with dp 63.

I was wondering if someone would eventually start a thread. I have been getting some light rain the past 15 minutes (the heavy stuff has so far missed me completely) and it's been enough to wet the walks, but not enough to tip the bucket until right before this post (and am at 0.01" as the rate has just increased). Temp has dropped down to 64.

LOL I guess it's only worth it if either of us get nailed with one of those cells rotating around. Someone in northern Delco is getting nailed (my sis in Upper Darby just texted that she is getting rain).

You just got your "rookie" badge with that last post too! (ETA and my post to you just gave me a rookie )

I gave you a dog in honor of the holiday... just as a "test" one. There's some foreboding-looking clouds off to my south and west as some returns rotate around the city. I may get fringed though. Temp is holding at 72 at the moment.

Sandworm! Great shot! My low barely ended up being 62 but am now up to 71 and had to run out to the store to experience how nice it is with the lower dp too in the low 60s. Currently mostly cloudy with blips rotating around that might impact me at some point. Will see!

You're funny this morning. Unbelievable that right now I'm at 62, with dp 61 and some stratus. Will see if that will be the low for the day but it's definitely a nice break.

I use Firefox and am only seeing it right at the top of a page but if there are enough posts on a page to scroll down, it doesn't extend any further than the space it uses at the top (and thankfully is not a "floating" frame). I would think (or hope) that could be something configurable (at least at some point in the future). I post on Gardenweb every once in awhile and they had implemented something like that a number of years ago when the site was taken over by Houzz (at GW, it is on the left panel vs the right).

I expect this is the "default" forum software setup after the upgrade and maybe the guys will start doing some tweaks or at least solicit some feedback.

Looks like it's just at the top of each page of a thread. I suppose there may be add-ons out there for a browser that will let you select frames to block... Haven't fooled with any yet though. I'm still stuck on the "newbie" badge despite 10 years here and 4 years at EasternWx before it became this.
