Hurricane Agnes

Under a yellow and red blob. The rates (so far) were not as high as a few days ago but still around 3/4" per hour. Just went over the 1" mark and rising. Temp 70.

After a little bit of a light rain lull, the heavier rain is moving in again here. Currently up to 0.70" at post time. The line looks to be breaking up a bit as it moves into the city but will see what I end up with.

Just ticked over the 1/2" mark (0.52") with the heaviest still to my SW.

Rain intensity has really picked up here now as the eastern side of it is moving in. Getting almost 1" hour rates so far and at 0.20".

I know what you word you WANTED to say but obviously can't on this forum. There were reports of well over 3.5" of rain in Lancaster County this morning so it is definitely concerning - especially for the flashier creeks around this area.

Looks like that is pivoting this way. It has been raining lightly the past 20 minutes or so (finally tipped the bucket for 0.01") and just heard some thunder a couple minutes ago. Looks like that means business!

Watching the animated radar on my GRLevel3, that southernmost blob has been slowly pivoting and is moving from SW --> NE. Since about 5 am, it has moved from Lancaster County into western Chester County. We may be getting slammed with it later this morning if it holds together and keeps moving without stalling. As a sidenote, I ended up getting 0.11" of rain total yesterday, a couple hundredths more since my last precip post yesterday. Current temp is 74 and it's overcast.

Well... Have been watching what almost looked like some sort of seabreeze front moving in from the east across Jersey and noted storms firing up along it. It finally made it over here to PA and I had been hearing thunder on and off for the past half hour. As soon as that feature reached here, a cool breeze arrived (I was sitting outside watching the dark clouds roll in), it looked almost like it slammed into the ridge of hills here, and fired up some storms. Nothing severe but so far got 0.09" out of it at post time. The heaviest looks to be a few miles to my SW and this storm is moving to the WNW. Temp down to 77 (had a high of 83 today). Edit to add - I just stepped outside briefly and the humidity hadn't been too bad earlier but now it is a steam bath. Windows fogging up too!

Final total yesterday IMBY was 1.64". The earlier fog this morning has started to clear but it's still a bit steamy out, mostly cloudy and 70.

Yeah, this is progged to go on like this all weekend. lol It's wild to watch an animation of the radar and storm movements - literally wavering back and forth. Got 0.06" additional & current daily total is 1.61" now. It's also gotten a bit steamy believe it or not. The windows have started fogging up.

Round 3 going on now. Light rain and have added another 0.02" in the bucket. Temp is 71. The storm motion has continued to push lines to the south.

Thanks for the heads up. The storm motion has started to shift with those northernmost lines of cells and they have started pushing down from NW --> SE. The southernmost lines are still moving SW --> NE. It's gotten dark here again (rain stopped so the 0.03" round 2 was it), so I may be sideswiped by both sets. That's a perfect description. lol Some of those are flash flood warnings and the others are flood advisories. Hope you can catch a break though! Since the day is about over, the high today did manage to make it to 84 just after noon. It's been hovering in the upper 60s/low 70s most of the rest of the afternoon however. Currently 72 and darkly overcast.

Round 2 coming through here now. So far 0.03" additional to the totals. Rates are very much lighter than the last round. Temp had crept up to 72 before the rain had started. Currently down to 71 and rain.

Rain has stopped (sun peeping out) here but I may get side-swiped by that stuff down in Chester County. The storms have started generally moving SW --> NE. Don't know if the stuff north of here is going to push down any further unless the front moves or wobbles (which is possible). The sky still looks pretty nasty to the NE. Finished up with 1.47" with that round and have the total of 1.52" for the day so far w/temp @ 68.

Skies starting to brighten off to my west. Still dark to my north and east. Rains are light now (< 0.1"/hr). Totals up to 1.52" for the day so far at post time. Will see if the blob down in Chester County makes it here intact. Temp is down to 68 so if anything, the air has stabilized. Smells nice and fresh out there!

Still raining just over 1"/hr and slowly dropping. Temp is down to 69. rain totals so far up to 1.51" (inclusive of the earlier 0.05").

This is definitely flash flood type rain. I expect the usual areas in my neighborhood at the bottom of hills, to have some huge puddles. Rates have dropped off to under 2" in hour but still going ~1.77"/hr. Totals for the day up to 1.36" so far and still rising (to include the 0.05" from early this morning). Temp is 71.

No - just some occasional breezes where I am. A lot of thunder though.

Am right under the reds. Rates are still going >4"/hr. Have so far gotten 1.15 " out of this round (total 1.20 for the day).

OMG now up to 4"/hr. Thunder/lightning increased. Almost up to 1" out of this round so far and rising fast (0.98" at post time to add to previous 0.05").

Yeah there are some nasty looking clouds that are still to my west. I'm almost up to 1/4" already. The sky looks like it's literally almost 8 pm. Edit to add now getting almost 2"/hr rates. Gully washer rain and some thunder. Not that much wind at the moment.

The warning did include alerts for folks attending that. Broad St. is literally closed to any vehicle traffic during that entire stretch.

Am under reds and oranges - Looks like bowing just to the north & west (temp is at 78) -

Looks like I'm about to get rocked and rolled (or is that "Rick rolled")? Have been hearing some thunder rumbling all around. Clouds are moving in different directions at different altitudes. Edit - and here it comes. Huge drops. I'm thinking it wants to be hail but melted. Mt. Holly has alerts going everywhere!
