Severe Thunderstorm Warning was issued and I am literally right on the eastern line of it (the radio activated for it).
-
TS Barry has arrived (abbreviated) -
-
After a low of 70 this morning, was already up to 84 by 9:30 with a dp of 69. You can definitely feel the juiced up difference this morning versus yesterday. Currently 85 and partly sunny as the clouds start to roll in and thicken. I see a NW-to-SE-oriented line to the west slowly pushing to the east, so it won't be long (assuming that holds together).
-
Made it to 91 today just before 3 pm and with the dews in the mid-60s, you could feel a bit of humidity but it still wasn't too bad thanks to a light but active breeze. Currently mostly sunny and 87.
-
Just fell short of 90 today (high of 89) but the dp had a low around 57 but has since crept up to the low 60s later this afternoon and you could feel the difference (although still not like last week). Currently 82 and partly cloudy.
-
I actually heard my first cicada July 4th morning. Still haven't heard any crickets yet but they should be out and about soon.
-
Well after on and off light rain this morning, the sun is now coming out (or at least trying to). Picked up 0.15" from the intermittent showers. Dews are down in the lower 60s so much better than the past couple days but still a bit sticky with the rain. Temp has stayed around 70/71 most of the day (low was 69 at one point) but it is now up to 73 and generally overcast with some breaks in the ceiling for the sun to pop in and out.

They (NHC) have a little discussion on it here - https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo.php?basin=atlc&fdays=5

Could be because the water is pretty toasty there at the moment and you can see circulation trying to get going down there.
-
After all was said and done yesterday, my final rain total was just a hundredth of an inch more after the main precip line came through, than what I had reported with the precursor stuff - total for the day of 0.22" (i.e., most of the storm associated with the front had fizzled as it approached and arrived in my area). It's currently 81 with dews in the mid-upper 60s (vs the 70s this time yesterday) so not as steam bath as yesterday, and partly sunny.
-
I can imagine trying to file a claim on that with the insurance company. At least there was video footage of that car flip.
-
Well the line held together enough to give me showers again and at a pretty moderate clip. But it steamed up the windows again. Temp is down to 80 w/dp 73. ETA am hearing thunder for the first time.
-
Looks like something is headed my way. Will see if it holds together but it is getting real dark here (they are warning for NE Philly, Eastern Montco, and Southern Bucks). It's currently 82 here with dp 70, so still juicy.
-
I've seen those wave clouds too (although not recently), which are pretty cool - especially if you are in a spot where you can see a long strip of them. And yeah, if you have trees all around, it can be hard to catch some of these unique clouds. If you are out at a mall or shopping strip and in a parking lot, you can often get a better view.
-
Nice. Am surprised you haven't seen mammatus around your area. I usually manage to randomly catch a glimpse of some maybe a few times a year if I happen to take the time to go outside when some storm cells are moving near or into my area or I am out somewhere and a gust front is coming soon.

-
Looks like a TOR is up for part of Southern Philly and the surrounding area.
-
I am seeing that a spotter reported a funnel cloud at Ocean Acres in Stafford Twp in Ocean Co, NJ (plus there are water rescues going on there). And whatever came through here to drop the temps down to the mid 70s is now long gone and I am back up to 86 again with dps in the lower 70s.
-
Meanwhile I guess some front came through because my temp is down to 77 and dp is down to the upper 60s. It's also partly sunny but still hazy.
-
I foolishly stepped outside into the sauna and ran back inside. Ended up with 0.06" out of that (so far). Temp is down to 86 but the dp is now up to 80.
-
I am finally under a microscopic dot that is giving me some rain. So far at 0.05" at post time. It had already hit 91 with 75 dp before the rain came in. Temp is down to 89 with a shower.
-
I've been watching the clusters headed that way and was hoping you would at least cash in on some of it... but apparently that ain't happening.
-
Yup and I watched one kernel of popcorn literally move from about 2 miles to my south to 1 mile to my east and then to about 4 miles to my northeast, all within the past 10 minutes. I could even see the dark clouds associated with it. It briefly hit 91 before dropping back to 88 while it was overcast during the popcorn miss... Sun is back out again though so I expect the temp to shoot back up again. Dp has been in the low 70s much of the time.
-
Dews were in the mid 70s earlier this morning steaming up the windows again with today's low so far of 75. Once the sun broke through the haze, the dp dropped a bit to 73 but not much difference in steam bath feel. Currently partly sunny and 86 already before 10 am.
-
Got nothing here either. Watched a small line work its way from SW -> NE through the city and it fizzled into virga as it came into my neighborhood, with the bulk of what was left focused in Montco. Didn't quite make it to 90 today (was 89) due to it being hazy and overcast most of the day and it is currently 79 and mostly cloudy with dp 68.
