Hurricane Agnes

There was a mesonet down in Glen Burnie, MD that recorded a 72 mph gust and I heard on KYW that some place in Ocean County (ASOS) reported an 82 mph gust (didn't catch where).

Sun now popping in and out.

Sky slowly starting to brighten to the south and west, although still overcast here. I think the warm front finally popped up. Temp up to 65 here now. 1.83" of rain so far.

The warm front has been hung up much of the day but might be finally moving again and might be north of where you are now. The delay has kept it "cooler" and more stable ahead of the cold front.

Just had a loud rumbling thunder. Temp 64. Up to 1.82" rain so far.

Cold front is still back over central Ohio. Once it starts moving closer to here, winds from convection might get crazy. Temps are down into the 20s/30s and low 40s behind it.

Yeah had been watching that one outside of Baltimore and now the other one popped up further south of D.C.

You made me look out and check the station - yup rain is back. Another 0.08" here from light rain, for a total of 1.65" so far. Temp is up to 63.

Looks like round 1 is about done here. Ended up with 1.57" of rain. Currently 61 and misty. I believe the next step is warming once the warm front lifts to the north, and then the coming of the cold front (with winds really picking up during the day and into the evening). Am guessing wherever that triple point goes, so lands the worst of it.

I think there are 2 more events to come - lifting of a warm front (with associated precip) and then the arrival of the strong cold front with the possible severe thunderstorms later this afternoon I think.

Now up to 1.38" of rain and temp up to 61, with light rain at the moment and breezy. Looks like this round 1 may be ending soon, with the next rounds to come later today.

After 0.01" rain just before midnight yesterday (total precip for yesterday), am up to 1.12" this morning and coming down at a good clip - the heaviest being the past couple hours or so. The winds have started to pick up now too. Current temp is 59 with variable / light - moderate rain.

High Wind Warning... Was a degree warmer for a low here this morning compared to yesterday (36 vs 35) and it took a bit for the temps to creep up from that with the overcast that comes and goes with breaks of sun, but currently 66 and warming nicely now.

Both my sisters (in Delco and Montco) texted about getting flurries. I jumped up and opened the door and saw a flurry.

Under the diffuse 2nd line. More wind and overcast but nothing convective. Temp at 56.

Sun came out briefly here but it has clouded up again and I see a foreboding line to the west. It'll probably be even more meh than what I got from the 1st line but it'll probably be a bookend to this part of the event. Temp is down to 55 now (11 degree drop)!

There's a dryslot and another possible line after that headed east (if it holds together).

Updated Warning (temp here down to 62) -

Sortof meh. Didn't see any lightning although heard a distant thunder earlier. The line broke up around the hills here but can hear a roar to the east of me. The temp is dropping and you can feel to cool air coming in. Temp down to 65 and dropping with some rain. ETA, temp down to 64 and continuing to drop.

Starting to get the winds. Temp up to 66.

LOL @ the real life expletives.

Warning issued further east to Philly metro -
