Hurricane Agnes

Yikes - I finally checked back here and yeah - the little hand-clap icon is weird. I guess I have to check to see what what they did. It's been awhile since they did any upgrades. I heard an alert come through and Mt. Holly threw up a FFW for downtown and up into NE Philly (I am sortof on the western border of it) - I saw on the radar how something just literally blew up in the middle of the city in the past hour. I know they are doing all the July 4th/"Welcome America" stuff but yikes! They got right under a thin band that just took the heat and ran with it. I did make it up to 81 today once the sun finally made an appearance after 3 pm. Currently 76 with dp below 70 for once - at 69. lol

Yeah I've been watching the evolution and the WAR position. If it goes over Cuba along a wider part of the island, it might end up shredding and weakening, and if it can't recover in the GOM, hitting FL would surely do it in, but there are some unfavorable conditions being progged at the moment regarding where it might even hit FL... But I expect the moisture could still get sucked up here. The storm is pretty compact at the moment as it is.

At this point, I hit my low for this morning of 67 about 10 minutes after sunrise and have slowly been on the upswing since. Currently overcast, misty and 70, with dp 69.

Ended up with another 0.35" late last night plus 0.10" early this morning, for a total of 1.53" over the 2-day event. Currently lots of mist and low clouds with a temp of 68 & dp the same.

Amazing! I was just looking at some pics people were tweeting of the cell and shelf clouds in various locations in Jersey.

Some folks have been tweeting a few videos of the couplet after it crossed the river, as replies to Mt. Holly's TOR tweet. E.g., - ETA to add a screenshot of a report that came in after the live run of the radar... Some downed trees/wind damage reported in Levittown. The back edge of the round 2 rainfall is approaching my area and so far I'm up to 1.08" for the day (0.97" directly from round 2). Currently on and off light rain and 72 with dp 71, so still have a steamy windows alert in effect.

Took a snapshot of the screen of the GR2Analyst zoom in on where there was a good hook echo. If I am looking at it correctly (using the 3D mode with volume), it looks like there is a funnel coming down. Definitely showing towering clouds up to 40K ft. The TOR area went from Bucks into Burlington County in NJ over Bordentown.

I'm on my other lappy with the GR2Analyst trying to see if I can find any radar angles that show any funnels.

The heaviest part of the line is past and just getting moderate rain at the moment. Currently at 1.01" on the nose total for the day (0.90" from this round 2). Temp is down to 71 with dp 70, so steamy window alert is up. Looks like a TOR is up for Bucks...

Gully washer with over 2.5"/hr rates. Am up to 0.71" so far for the day at post time.

Finally getting under the heavier rain. Currently at over 3/4" an hour and am up to 0.26" for the day so far. Temp down to 73,

The leading edge of it is finally here but it hasn't completely come over me yet. Temp is down to 78 with dp 73 and lightning detectors in the area capturing it.

After that first round was done, the sun came out during the gap and shot me back up to 83 before the clouds came in again and knocked the temp back down a bit. Currently overcast 81 with dp 72. Incoming line looks solid and a Warning was issued for parts of the metro area.

SPC just lofted Severe Thunderstorm Watches - Current temp here is down to 77 with dp 73, and I have picked up 0.11" rain so far from the initial little round.

I finally got a little measurable! 0.05" (so far). Me take. I'm now down to 78 (dp 72) with the rain but hit the 86 at 10:50 am according to my station data. I know there is a FF Watch up so whatever heavier stuff comes later this afternoon and supposedly into tomorrow, will cool the asphalt streets and brick/stone buildings!

Was looking at Levi Cowan's last video before what would be Elsa became a TS and he was noting that the sheer was actually lower than normal this early in the season, so that gives it a better chance to stay alive, assuming it doesn't shift and run across the islands, and then that would tear it apart as a weak TS. Hope he can get an updated one up soon! My high this earlier morning was 86 before the cloud cover took over and dropped the temps. Currently 83 with dp 71 and some incoming. Hopefully what looks like a possible 1st round won't fizzle like last night's little attempt.

So far my low this morning has been 73 and it's currently 73 with dp "down to" 70. Ended up getting nothing measurable last night. Since May, I have hit 90 and above 11 times (9 of those days in June).

Finally getting some thunder and damp sidewalk but nothing measurable yet. Temp is down to 78 with dp 72. Looks like Center City and South Philly have a pop up blob.

Looks like the big fizzle. Stuff is showing up over me but except for some initial large splats, nada. Temp is down to 79 with dp 71. I think Bucks County got the bulk...

Need something on the dusty leaves!

That gust front turned the sky jet black. Hasn't arrived here yet but am watching it incoming. Temp ticked down to 87. Dp has dropped a tiny bit to 72. ETA - gust front coming through now. Temp down to 85 w/dp 71.

My little lightning detector is picking up the line (snapshot from about 5 minutes ago)...

There's an incoming line and some huge towering cumulus that I have been looking at to my west (with a layer of cirrus right above them). Temp is "down to" 88 and the dp is a more manageable 73. lol There is a more active breeze so that is mixing some of it. Hope I can cash in on a little rain tonight ahead of whatever is proggred for tomorrow afternoon.

Flash Flood Watch just issued for tomorrow - Temp has been bopping between 95 and 96 here with dps shifting between 73 - 74 and still mostly sunny with some clouds trying to get going. There's some stuff forming way up north and west.

Just hit 96 with dp bopping between 75 and 74 whenever a puff of a breeze appears. My station's "Feels like" temp says 106.9... lol). The cumulus have rolled in and will see if that eventually offers any ground shading.
