Hurricane Agnes

Down to light rain now and currently have 1.84" so far bringing me up to a whopping 8.09" for the month so far! Temp/dp now 69.

Heard 2 separate instances of thunder and rates shot up to >3"/hr. Have 1.67" in the bucket at post time.

Gully washer here with >2"/hr rates Have 0.67" so far and temp knocked down to 71.

I know this won't be welcome in this group - Picked up 0.09" of rain yesterday for 6.25" for the month so far, and had a high of 76 after a 68 low. Currently 69 with dp 67.

Got another hundredth of an inch yesterday for a 0.24" final and 2.80" 2-day event total. My high was 71 after a low of 64, and the drier air is trickling in. Currently a sunny 70 with dp 61. I've been following that Limerick site one as I figured exactly why the location was picked. I remember my senior high school physics class taking a field trip to Limerick back in 1979 while the plant was still under construction. I think the cooling towers had recently been completed. The PECO tour guide told us that once the plant came online, the average electric bill would drop to $3/month.

I did ultimately finish up with 2.56" for day 1, mostly due to getting under several cells. Made it up to 86 for a high after a 67 low, before the rain knocked that down. With today's light overrunning precip., I have picked up 0.23" so far for a 2-day total o 2.79" and monthly total of 6.15". Despite that, I heard on the radio yesterday that we are still experiencing drought conditions here in the city (below as of the last update) - Currently light rain and 66 with dp 66.

And here comes a huge round 4 that gave me upwards of 2.5"/hr rates and now have 2.56".

Just got a light 3rd round. Round 2 gave me another 0.1" to get over the 2" mark and this round has me up to 2.06" so far, although a small cell looks to be coming this way from the southwest. Currently 71 & 70 dp.

Currently in a rain pause at the moment with some iight rain just starting...although a weakening cell is off to my west but may scoot south of me. Highest rate briefly got up to >6"/hr. Temp 71/dp 70. Have 1.93" so far.

Down to sbout 1.5"/hr with 1.88" in the bucket . Temp 70 dp 69.

Rocking and rolling here. >5.5"/hr. 1.39".

Gully washer. >3"/hr. Knocked trmpxdown to 71. 0.99" in the bucket .

TOR up -

Thunderstorm Watches are up (am getting a lot of convection hits on my lightning detector) Also a warning over parts of Philly metro - Currently overcast and 78 with dp 69.

Well here's something we haven't seen much of in awhile - Stuff was starting to brown up so need the rain. I have 3.36" for the month so far. Currently overcast and 71 with dp 64.

Picked up 0.33" of rain yesterday, with a lot of sound and fury but not as much rain as expected but I take! Made it to 85 after a 67 low yesterday. Today it looks like I maxed at 94 just after 3 pm after a low of 71. Currently 89 with dp a horrid 77 and a STS was just lofted for the area (saw the line way out west and will see if it holds together) -

I missed a 90 yesterday so no "heatwave". Made it to 89 after a low of 66. Didn't have high hopes for the line to hold together but it did. There appeared to be mixing of cooler air during the day though and eventually once the gust front came through, it knocked the temps down about 15 degrees ahead of the rain. I did get 0.26" out of that, my first rain for the month. Currently partly sunny and 84 (my high for the day so far) with lots of cumulus, after a low of 65, and dp is 68.

And believe it or not, I managed to eke out another degree for my high and managed to get to 91 just before 4 pm. Otherwise it's currently mostly sunny an 86 with dp 59.

Tapped 90 for the first time this month about 45 minutes ago, my 5th 90 or above temp for the year so far. Just missed it yesterday when I didn't get past 89. After a 65 low this morning, it's currently sunny and 89 with dp 60.

And I managed to squeeze out another 0.05" this morning for a 6-day total of 3.36" for the event and 4.46" for the month so far. Much warmer today (and the sun popped out this afternoon), getting me to a high of 74 after a low of 57. It's currently 69 with dp 67.

Have been calculating my totals from this long duration event and so far - 5/20 - 0.81" 5/21 - 0.31" 5/22 - 0.05" 5/23 - 0.74" 5/24 - 1.40" 5-day TOTAL = 3.31" (Month to date = 4.41") Today was the heaviest so far, pretty much a month's worth these last 5 days that was needed for a good soaking after that heat! Bottomed out at 50 and made it to 59 for a high. currently overcast and 58 with dp 57.

I was finally able to register my non-diurnal temps for yesterday which were a 67 high at midnight and a 54 low just after 11:30 am. Picked up 0.31" of rain yesterday for a 2-day event total of 1.12". My high and low today ended up almost being the same (so far) and as the precipitation shield has drifted north (where there was no precip until later this afternoon), I have picked up 0.05" so far for a 3-day of 1.17". It's currently 53 (my low so far) and overcast/misty, with dp 50.

Finished up yesterday's round of rain at a much-needed 0.81". My temps are still dropping this morning so may not have hit my low yet, but am currently an overcast 57 with dp 50. More rain appears to be slowly moving in from the west.

My lightning detector has picked up literally hundreds and hundreds of strikes (am guessing mostly cloud-to-cloud) but I haven't seen any obvious flashes and finally heard one weak thunder seemingly from a distance, about 10 minutes ago. Temp has been knocked down to 70 (dp 69) and have 0.61" in the bucket with light rain.

AHHHHHHHH. RAIN! Am under a small cell and it dropped my temp from 90 down to 72. Have 0.51" in the bucket at post time.
