E PA/NJ/DE Summer 2025 Obs/Discussion
Hurricane Agnes replied to Hurricane Agnes's topic in Philadelphia Region
Rain tapering now. Was up to 1.63"/hr at one point and currently have 0.44" in the bucket. Temp got knocked down almost 20 degrees from my high of 94 today and it's currently raining lightly with temp of 73 and dp 73. With the dribs and drabs for June, I ended up with 3.62" for the month (so far). -

Rocking and rolling with lots of thunder to my south but rising up to almost here. After a low of 73, it actually hit 94 here before the clouds started rolling in. Currently overcast and 83 with dp 75. EDIT - rain is here. Just tipped the bucket to 0.01". -

Ended up with 0.07" with much of the heaviest stuff going south of me, although there was quite a bit of thunder going on. Made it up to 89 for a high yesterday breaking the 3-day heatwave IMBY and am currently at my "low" this morning of 64, the coolest in a week. -

Game on! The spotty showers yesterday completely missed me although my Upper Darby sis got some. I had a high of 98 yesterday so my 3 days of the heatwave (so far) were 98, 100, 98. I bottomed out at 76 this morning and made it up to 89 just before 11:30 am but haven't touched 90 yet today. It's currently a mostly sunny and hazy 86 with dp 75. -

I was just thinking that too. It doesn't have as wide a range but beggars... Was checking out State College's and that looks to be on although obviously west of here. -

I bottomed out a degree "cooler" this morning - 80 vs the 81 of yesterday and so far have maxed at 98 ~2:10 this afternoon. There seems to be less mixing out today as the dp is back up to what was Sunday. Currently a mostly sunny 96 with scattered cumulus and dp 78. -

I briefly registered a 99 here in NW Philly at 2:09 pm but am back down to 98 with dp 75. Don't know if I'll hit triple digits but still have a few hours to get there. -

Well I bottomed out (if you can call it that) at 81 and have now h it 90 before 9 am. Just got done watering and am hoping that will hold the plants until the next precip event (Friday I think?). I was actually shocked that my potted herbs and veggies hadn't started drooping into oblivion yet. Currently a mostly sunny, hazy, hot and humid 91 with dp 78 as of post time (9:10 am). -

Ended up at 98 for a high and it's currently 86 with dp 78. Ugh. Will see what the "low" will end up being tomorrow morning. -

Hit 93 around 10:15 am, with dp 79. Currently 93 with dp 80. I am afraid to go outside. -

So... have already hit 87 by 8:30 this morning with dp 78. Don't know what else to say but good morning! (my "low" was 77 this morning) -

My temp finally recovered and I think 88 (finally hit around 6:30 pm) will be my final high for today, meaning starting over for tallying days towards an "official" heatwave IMBY (had a 90 yesterday). Ended up with 0.05" of rain from that band. Currently 87 with dp 78, so back in the oven again. ETA - was looking at the afternoon AFD and there was a mention of a pressure fall/rise and I did see that. -

The rain band has backed over me and so far have 0.03" in the bucket. Dropped the temp to 76 with dp 74 but if all that clears out later today and the sun comes back out, it'll be a steam bath! But I'll take the rain for the plants ahead of this coming inferno week! -

It has clouded over here and has dropped the temp once that started happening. Looks like a fire hose of precip trying to back in. I actually got up to 83 by around 9:30 this morning and am down to 79 with dp 73. I actually wouldn't mind a pre-heatwave dumping because I know I may have to get the hose out later this week with no precip forecast. -

Bottomed out at 69 this morning and did hit 90 just after 2:30 pm this afternoon here in NW Philly, thus starting day 1 of the progged heatwave. The dews were reasonable yesterday but today, are back in the low 70s. Currently a hazy, hot, and humid 89 with dp 71. -

I think they also changed the product name from "Excessive Heat Watch" to "Extreme Heat Watch" too. -

LSR is up and it seems the max gusts reported were ~55 - 60 mph - https://www.weather.gov/wrh/TextProduct?product=lsrphi Just looking at pics of literal "snapped" trees and poles (versus the usual uprooting) seems to suggest that there might have been some localized downbursts/straight line winds at some locations. I bottomed out at 64 this morning and it's like day and night compared to yesterday (with steamy windows). It's currently mostly sunny and breezy, with temp at 79 and dp a more manageable 64. Furnace will be incoming soon though! -

A 2nd round gave me an additional 0.1" for a total so far of 0.94". Thanks to the rain, my "low" ended up happening around 7:30 pm this evening. About 7:45 pm, there was still some light rain but then the sun popped out in the west and that generated a rainbow! It's currently overcast but with a bright sky in the west as the sun hasn't set yet, and 70, with dp 70. As another note, my sis texted to say as they were racing to get out of the pool and inside, they saw a pine tree get uprooted and fall over (this was in Bala Cynwyd). I saw a Philly Inquirer breaking news alert too that PECO was reporting about 250,000 outages in the area due to that storm. -

My Delco sis was at a pool in a Bala Cynwyd apartment complex (where her niece and grandniece/grandnephew are) and she said the winds were so strong, they bent at least one metal sign in the parking lot of the apartment complex! I'm in a brief lull but picked up 0.84" in that short period of time. Temp is still 71 with dp 71. -

Had over 4"/hr rain with this fast-moving complex coming up from the SW. Have 0.81" in the bucket since it all started. Temp dropped like 15 degrees and it's down to 71 with dp 71.
