Hurricane Agnes

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.

I have a nice soft electric blanket with multiple heat settings for a toasty comfortable snooze. Meanwhile I just hit 95 and that dp is still up there at 75.

Just briefly hit 93 at 11:55 am with a dp that was supposed to be "lower" today but instead, is bopping between 76 and 77.

Had a low of 75 earlier, with a "lower" dp of 71, but am now up to 82 with dp going right back up to 75. I had to get some water on the plants earlier this morning and hope it will hold them until the progged showers Thursday/Friday. Was glad to have had the little ground-wetting pop-ups last Saturday but that couldn't make up for these temps. It's been interesting to note that I've had just over 5 3/4" rain for the month of June (since this is the last day, although will see if anything pops up this afternoon).

Hopefully not that McDonald's scorcher type. Looks like 94 was my high today and even the puffy clouds had had enough and disappeared. Currently 90 and yes, the dp has actually dropped to 72. I think what moisture was left in the ground has evaporated, and that plus an active light breeze helped to mix some of the stagnant air (at least in relative terms, dropping the dews from the upper 70s down to the low 70s).

I briefly tapped 94 with a dp of 78. That has bubbled up the cumulus big time so the sun is going in and out. Currently at 93 with dp moving between 77 & 78.

It didn't steam but then it could be the central air didn't cycle off either so the windows never got a chance. I have hit 91 as a high so far this morning, and am currently bopping between that and 90 with a disgusting 77 dp (refuse to even open the door).

Had my low of 74 just before sunrise and am off to the races and currently at 77 with dp 74. This morning there wasn't even an opportunity for stratus to form, so it went right to unimpeded sun at sunrise.

I know there was some earlier speculation in the AFDs but Mt. Holly decided to loft the Excessive Heat Warning for the metro area in conjunction with the Advisory around the outer parts of the metro. Probably due to that dp not really mixing out. And then abracadabra, up pops another east coastal TS! Danny was suddenly born with an outsized role - to go over the coastal goal line as a TS. Currently a hazy, hot, and humid 90 with dp bopping between 74 and 75.

So far holding at 93 for a high today and currently bopping between 91 and 92 for a current, but with a dp that genreally hasn't gotten off the 75.

OMG the summer before my senior year in college (summer of '82) I was a new student's counselor doing sessions from the end of June until the beginning of August, and one of the other counselors had one of those - I think even the same color (with bench seats in front and back and it was naturally a stick). On July 4th that summer, we had off that weekend, so 9 of us jammed in one of those - 3 in the front (including the driver) and 6 in the back with 3 lap-sitters), driving from Amherst, MA to Provincetown, MA, which is right on the tip of the Cape Cod hook (it was around a 90 mile trip each way). What a blast! The car owner/counselor's parents had a beach house on the bay side of the Cape in Brewster where we stayed for a couple nights (in the attic). On the way back, one of the other counselors who had met up with us there, had his own car, so we were able offload 2 for the trip back, only having 7. It is shocking how small the Beetles look on the outside but they were actually roomy inside (I guess if you're young ). Hope your dad had a happy birthday! My dad's birthday would have been a couple days before yours (June 25th) and if he were still around, he'd be 97 this year.

Hit 93 at 2:30 pm. Currently 92 with 75 dp. Looks like some scattered pop-up stuff forming well to the north and west of the Philly metro counties but will be interesting to see if they move this way.

Hit 90 just after noon with a dp of 77 at that point. The cumulus has picked up along with a few puffs of wind to bounce it up and down but I'm currently at 90 with dp 76 at post time. Brutal out there.

When you are already in an extreme drought going into your normal "dry season" (where "dry season" in the PNW generally goes from June - September), then any heat bubbles sitting over that area become nuclear mushroom clouds. This year has been a bit drier here than the past couple years but I don't think they're dry enough for us to hit triple digits this summer unless the faucet gets completely closed off (meaning no more severe ) and all the TS remnants miss us. When you have that PAC ridge like that in winter that protects them from snow, inevitably we get the "trough in the east" mixed bag, depending on other factors. As an obs, my low was a surprisingly "low" 73 but the big difference was the lack of lingering morning stratus, except for a a few low clouds. So the sun has pretty much been full out earlier than the past couple days, helping to send the temp here to a current 85 with a nasty dp of 75, and some scattered cumulus here and there.

I wasn't sure I would get there given the stratus this morning that finally broke around 9 am, but then the in and out sun due to lots of cumulus, but I tapped 90 at 3:45 pm today. Currently 87 and mostly cloudy with dp 73.

My low early this morning was 73 and I was shrouded in stratus again like yesterday. The sun briefly came out a little later but self-destructed, so I am now back to overcast again. I expect that whenever the clouds break, it's off to the races. Currently 77 with dp 74 so very moist!

I've been getting on and off hits and misses with those little streamers. Am actually up to 0.25" after the last one. Currently mostly cloudy with breaks of sun and 82 with dp 73.

And with that, the shower is over (final tally 0.14"), clouds have been receding and the sun is back out, although there are some other possible streamers that could fly overhead. And that means off to the races. Temp up to 77 and rising with dp a nasty 75.
