    This looks like it is moving in your general vicinity!

    Bunch of RERs yesterday (ties) - Finally got chance to peep at the doppler and some nasty-looking cells have popped up.
  3. Hurricane Agnes
    Here we go - I made it up to 93 as a high yesterday and had a low of 72 this morning. It's currently mostly sunny 94 with cumulus starting to bubble in and a dp of 75. This is day 5 of the heatwave here.
  4. Hurricane Agnes
    And have now hit 90 just past 10:30 am, with dp 74. Am currently back down to 88 at post time. Couple RERs yesterday for multiple things - Record high - Ties for highs - And KPHL with a record high min yesterday morning -

    Idalia remnant clouds kept the temp lower here yesterday compared to Monday so I only hit 92 but that did become "day 3" marking what would be my 4th heatwave since July (none in August). Bottomed out at 75 as a low this morning and am off to the races this morning where it is currently mostly sunny and 88 with dp 74. Am keeping an eye on Lee.
  6. Hurricane Agnes
    Had a mild low of 76 this morning and am currently up to a partly sunny 86, with a deck of cirrus from the remnants of Idalia that have been backing into the area from the NE, with a dp of 73.

    3 RERs today -
  8. Hurricane Agnes
    Thanks! It was certainly a bit unexpected given the angle it was moving (from NE -> SW). It didn't really show that clearly on radar outside of being a thin darker green band that moved over the city - similar to how I've seen the marine layer move inland. So far I've dropped down to 82 at post time with dp 73. Critters (crickets and katydids) are making a racket.

    Not sure what the heck it is - outflow boundary? Trough? Something has backed in and over me to dribble some non-measurable moisture over the area - enough to even generate a faint rainbow! It's currently overcast with some breaks in the cloud deck, and 89 with dp now up to 74 thanks to something wringing out some moisture out of the dampish-dry clouds!

    Well I bottomed out at 74 this morning and made it up to 94 as a high so far today. Looks like KPHL broke its record of 93 for today too (waiting for the RER updates). Currently mostly sunny and 92, with lots of high clouds, and dp 73.

    Wasn't sure I would get there but I did eventually hit 90.0 just before 4:30 pm today, so that starts day 1 of the upcoming heatwave. It was actually "summery" but not oppressive at all, as the dps mixed out some, plus there was an active light breeze. It's currently clear and 82 with dp 68.
  12. Hurricane Agnes
    Gonna have to chance your account name to "ChasingWaves".

    Made it up to 81 for a high yesterday just before 3:30 pm, but in contrast, I was already at a mostly sunny 83 so far this morning by 10:30 am, after a low of 64. Had to give everything a good soaking this morning and it wasn't bad out despite the dp having crept up to 70. Will see how close we get to any records for sites in the CWA -

    That's hilarious and true! I have heard people even refer to "8 seasons". Yup. It's an annual thing. And ironically because of what happened last year with an attempt to start before Labor Day in August again, and having to be released early for much of that week (the last week of August through the first week of September had temps in the mid-80s to low 90s), they went back to starting the day after Labor Day as usual, and it didn't matter. As long as there are a large number of century+ old school buildings continuing to be used, it will be like this. They still have to complete the upgrades to the electrical systems in those old buildings to handle individual classroom air-conditioners. I was bopping around 55 for a low this morning and that appears to be it as I'm currently at 56 and partly cloudy with dp 55. That 55 low is the coolest since the first week of June IMBY.

    GFS was spinning up storms the past couple days in the GOM including one hitting TX near the end of the run. The 12z has yet another spun up out of the Caribbean.
  16. Hurricane Agnes
    TD-12 (potential "Katia" if it gets named) is up and running with the 11 am update. It might not survive the trip across the Atlantic though. Currently sunny with lots of blue sky and 73 with dp a nice 52.
  17. Hurricane Agnes
    Franklin, Idalia, and Jose all circled the wagon in the Atlantic and brought zombie Gert back to life! After a low of 62 yesterday, I made it up to 77 for a high... but the news of the day has been the dps down in the low 50s, making for probably one of the nicest days of late. Finished the month of August with 3.78" of rain. So far my low this morning has been 58 and it's currently 59 with dp 52.
  18. Hurricane Agnes
    I believe it! It's been one of those years.

    He raised about $50,000 before ending the stream to get some rest and expects to be figuring out how to distribute it. We almost always have some kind of heat wave right around Labor Day (similar to the April "heat waves*" (or at least upper 80s and maybe a 90 here and there)). That's why every time the city tried to start schools before then, they had to let out 1/2 days much of that week since they still don't have enough ACs in the 100+ year old buildings.
  20. Hurricane Agnes
    No Ryan Hall Y'all? It's still a Cat 1 over land in GA. Meanwhile, the front has been moving through and the dp has dropped down to 66 with a temp of 81.
  21. Hurricane Agnes
    Ended up with a high of 79 yesterday and a low of 70 this morning, with a little bit of tropical rain from Idalia that ran up over the front as it moved east, giving me 0.24" this morning. It's currently starting to clear and is 72, with a still humid dp of 70.
  22. Hurricane Agnes
    I ran an 18Z NAM and this is an example of not needing a hit but just having a front nearby to suck up the moisture! All the models have been showing some high pushing down from Canada to send Idalia OTS (at varying degrees) but I suppose the strength and timing of it will definitely make a difference with the path.
  23. Hurricane Agnes
    I was watching that. Always thought that was cool. Made it up to 65 today and the dp was still hanging in that mid-60s. Currently partly cloudy and 79 with dp 66. As a side note, I ran the 18Z GFS and it picked up what looks like another tropical cyclone in the GOM and aimed it at TX right at the end of the run! Sounds like it is getting warmed up for winter.
  24. Hurricane Agnes
    If you have any frontal passage corresponding with it as it approaches, the moisture could get entrained in that to produce an overrunning event, regardless of whether we get a direct remnant hit or not. This is what Ian did last year - Et voila! Between Sept. 30 - Oct. 5, I had 5.02" of rain from that! Similarly, Ida gave me 5.41" of rain the year before on Sept. 1 And in 2020, Isaias deposited 4.39" here on Aug. 4. And although the "S" word storm was the big one for people, Hurricane Issac gave us a little love in 2012 - I always keep an eye out for "I" storms around here (think "Irene", "Issac", "Irma" (got some splats), "Isais", "Ida", "Ian"). As an obs, I think I have finally bottomed out at 67 and it's currently a partly sunny 68 with a lower dp (finally) of 64.
  25. Hurricane Agnes
    Looks like our soon-to-be-a-(Philly Special)-"I" tropical cyclone is in the making (just became a TD). Had a low of 71 this morning and made it up to a humid 87 for a high. It's currently a partly sunny and still-humid 84, with dp 70.
