    Am sitting under a light - moderate rain death band and have picked up another 0.39" for 1.22" for the day (2.30" for the 2-day event so far). Currently light rain and 65 with dp 64.

    That band has been pretty solid with the light rain and this has literally been an old fashioned "rainy day". From my earlier Ophelia report in that thread, I have picked up another 0.48" for a total of 0.83" for the day so far and 1.91" for a 2-day total. High so far today has been 66 just after 12:30 pm and I'm currently under moderate rain and 66 with dp 65.

    Am now under a pivot band as the remnant pushes up from the SW and is giving me some steady 1/4" per hr rain. Finished up yesterday with 1.08" and got up this morning to another 0.07". Now have 0.35" at post time (1.43" for the 2-days) from the on and off showers. Temp has really surged and is 66 with dp 65 (and you can feel the difference).

    WPC now taking over discussion with the 5 am update with Ophelia is now a remnant low -
  5. Hurricane Agnes
    Temp continues to creep up and still getting spotty showers. Currently windy with 1.07" in the bucket. Temp is 60 with dp 60.
  6. Hurricane Agnes
    11 pm update and Ophelia has now been downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone. Last advisory from the NHC -
  7. Hurricane Agnes
    I guess it was about an hour ago I had a loud gust (I guess from where it blew against the back of the house which faces NE) and the temp has slowly crept up (although not at the midnight high of 62 yet). Currently an overcast, breezy and damp 60 with dp 59. Next batch is pushing up from the SE so will see what that nets me (am still siting at 1.00" for the day/event so far).

    8 pm update - Ophelia is downgraded to a tropical depression -
  9. Hurricane Agnes
    5 pm update, Ophelia still a tropical storm that continues to weaken (in other news, TS Philippe has formed in the SE Atlantic but is expected to follow track similar to Hurricane Nigel - recurving to the east well off the coast of Bermuda) -

    Not much mention but I did find NBC10 did a blip as they work with KYW for some stuff - https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/downed-power-lines-spark-explosion-and-fire-at-delco-senior-living-complex/3652760/ Last report was that the gas has been contained and shut off in the area, although there are obvious power outages and 2 houses took the brunt of it. I managed to pick up another 0.01" and am now sitting at 1.00" on the nose. My high for the day at post time, was a 62 at midnight, and it's currently an overcast and misty 59 with dp 58.

    As an Ophelia-related incident, I had just heard on KYW this afternoon that a tree blew over onto power lines in Yeadon (and there was apparently sparking so am guessing it may have impacted some transformers) and then the sparking lines apparently managed to melt the asphalt on the street and heated up a gas line, that in turn caused a large gas explosion.

    There you are. First day of fall!
  13. Hurricane Agnes
    It's battling the lower-level dry air per the water vapor depiction (although there is some at the mid-levels but not near the core) -
  14. Hurricane Agnes
    2 pm update (continues to weaken but still a tropical storm) -
  15. Hurricane Agnes
    Got another quick hit from a band that added an additional 0.10" and currently have 0.99" in the bucket for the day so far at post time.
  16. Hurricane Agnes
    Just discovered there's a spotter a couple miles NW from where I am (they are in Wyncote) and they reported large branches down by the apartment towers there in Cheltenham. I know there is a golf course adjacent to that complex too.
  17. Hurricane Agnes
    11 am surge map (not sure how intact the core will be by the time it gets up to S. Jersey but I would think it would push some water into the coastal towns) -
  18. Hurricane Agnes
    Just have to watch for mixing and a warm nose.
  19. Hurricane Agnes
    11 am update and weakening as progged (looks like the remnant might be heading for the 40/70 benchmark! ) -
  20. Hurricane Agnes
    Finally notched above my low this morning and am at 58. Dewpoint has slowly crept up to 57 so the battle between moist and dry is underway. Winds have been pushing with from the SE. Currently in a dry slot between bands with 0.89" in the bucket.
  21. Hurricane Agnes
    8 am update -
  22. Hurricane Agnes
    Am now up to 0.77" in the bucket at post time, with temp still at the low for today - 56 - and dp 56. The current rain band is pushing up from the SSE and looks like there might be a break in it on the western side.
  23. Hurricane Agnes
    So far this morning, am getting a little steadier rain (currently around 1/4" - 1/3rd" per hr rates) and have 0.39" in the bucket at post time. Am currently at my low of 56 at the moment with dp 56 (so the drier conditions continue). Am guessing a "small" central core of that has the tropical conditions and the rest is (inland) nor'easter-like.
  24. Hurricane Agnes
    And NHC confirmed landfall @ 6:15 am.
  25. Hurricane Agnes
    Looks like some kind of landfall happened to the SW of Morehead City by Emerald Isle, sometime around 6:15 am give or take.
