Hurricane Agnes

Looks like Flourtown was reporting a water rescue. I think the heaviest is now pretty much past and currently have 3.42" in the bucket with 0.61"/hr rate. Like a month's worth of rain in an hour. Temp 75 with dp 74. And with that, time to go back to bed. The lightning/thunder has pretty much ended for now. ETA - now at 3.45" and light rain at 2:30 am.

Still >3.5"/hr rates. Now at 3.10" for the event at post time.

Still getting raked and now up to 2.81" of rain from Fred. and still well over 3"/hr rate but dropping. Temp is 75.

Yes! The line has been solid coming through. Now closing in on 2" from this so far.

Am over 5.22"/hr rates. Am at 1.82" at post time.

Now almost up 4"/hr of rain - at 1.17" at post time. Temp is down to 76

It has been non-stop lightning/thunder for the past 2 hours so finally came down to check the radar on the laptop and assumed there had been rain all that time and nope, the line hadn't even gotten here until now when I saw I had 0.25". Now the front edge of the line has moved over my area and am getting almost 3"/hr rates.

Nope. Not a drop... at least not yet. Am hoping that band out in Lancaster holds together as it slowly crawls east.

LOL You guys have sucked me into the screw zone too. Trying to eek out some tip of the bucket here. I'll even take 0.1". Juicy here with temp at 80 and dp at 75.

He may want

There were a couple TORs over around York but I don't know if anything was confirmed. I've been getting that "tropical storm" type clouds, but nothing has bubbled up here. I'll be happy with 1/4" if I can get it. Have been watching the clouds advecting in from the southeast now... and it's a soupy 86 with dp 74, so I the 90.0 was my high for the day. Have been watching that track of Henri too.

Damn. Didn't expect to hit 90 today, but I just did (#31 since May) - although the sun did make a more extended appearance earlier this afternoon right before I got there and then executed a self-destruct. Currently 88 when it clouded over with dp 75.

Tornado Watch up for northern/western parts of the area -

Getting closer and closer to the 40/70 benchmark. ETA - Levi Cowan's take -

Despite the cloud cover and attempts at the sun trying to break through but not quite making it out, the temp has soared a bit more than I expected. So far the high here hit 87 but it's currently mostly cloudy, with a few breaks in the ceiling, and 86, with a disgusting dp of 77.

LOL I have been watching the track change further and further west before the N/NE direction change the past couple days. It was originally progged to do a tight loop around Bermuda and out to sea but each subsequent update has it moving more and more westward before making the turn. In any case, I've been getting on and off stratus this morning along with the general overcast. Low this morning was 74 and it's currently 77, with dp 75.

Getting some light rain coming up from the south. It just reached the level to be enough to tip the bucket with 0.01" after wetting the walks. Temp is currently 79 with dp 74.

So far had a low of 71 and high of 83 today, but with the changeable skies (mostly overcast), the temp has understandably fluctuated. It is definitely feeling more humid out though and it's currently 82 with dp 71. Need a little rain here now. Have been looking at what appears to be subsidence just drying up the metro I95 corridor, with a band of showers to the south in MD and DE and a scattered band that shifted from the Lehigh Valley and Poconos, to the far north near the PA/NY border.

After a low of 70 this morning, I did manage to make it to 83 for a high, but the humidity is back. Had run to the supermarket this morning and it was definitely noticeable. The sun was in and out earlier but it's been generally overcast most of the afternoon. Currently 79 with dp 68 and overcast.

Made it up to 84 today with amazing "low" humidity for August - only in the mid-upper 30% range. Currently 82 and mostly sunny with some cirrus advecting in and a dp of 55.

Watched the radar as the front started moving through between 4 am - 5 am, although the returns evaporated, so didn't get any precip from it. However saw the dp drop from ~71/72 down to the current 59, which is pretty dramatic. Temp was in the low-mid 70s and did a corresponding drop with the front crossing, and is now down to 68 at post time, with a deck of clouds overhead. I saw that further west of here in central/western PA, the current temps are in the mid-50s. ETA (1 hour later) - I got chance to pop out to the back and saw the plant foliage had been wet and was drying, although whatever came through this morning was not enough to tip the bucket. Still I'll take it.

Wasn't sure if I would do it, but after a low of 73 this morning, I did tap 90 just before noon today (#30 of 90+ since May). It's currently 89 and partly cloudy with dp bopping between 72 and 73. SPC has our area in a "Marginal Risk" (but hope I can get a little rain in to top off after the past couple days of heat).

Looks like the 96 was my high and I'm now getting some incoming clouds but am still partly sunny and "down to" 92, with a dp 71.

Have now hit 95 (although still haven't matched or exceeded my highest of the summer yet, which was 96 on 6/30/21). The few earlier wispy clouds have disappeared and now have all blue sky. Dp is 70. Some stuff has been firing west of Harrisburg the past couple hours.

Have already hit a 90 just after 10:30 this morning (#29 since May), with a low of 74. Am currently @90 with a mixed-out dp of 69 (much better than the mid-upper 70s earlier this week, which probably also included "burning off" the moisture from the antecedent rain at that time). May hit the mid-90s earlier today but will see.
