    LOL I have had my shopping cart full of groceries do that in the parking lot of a supermarket. Had to run like a crazy woman to grab it before it slammed into someone's car. And yeah - I remember when my Wyndmoor sis had neglected to put her umbrella down and with it being on a south-facing backyard deck with a relatively unobstructed west side of the property, it managed to not only get lofted, but blown along the side of the house to the front, and then out into the street where it tumbled further down the street propelled by the west to east gusts. My niece had to race to chase it down. My lightning detector picked up convection between midnight and 2 am, although it wasn't as nuts as I have seen it in the past but was still frequent indicating nearby cells (it has a range of about a 20 mile radius). Still.. there was ZILCH in the rain department. Anyway, so far my low this morning has been 71 and it's currently a cloudy 73 with dp 67.

    I KNEW something from those clusters of cells had to have bullseyed you.

    Round 1 completely evaporated before getting here and round 2 fizzled. The umbrella jinx continues. Currently 77 with dp 67 with some lightning off in the distance.

    I finally broke down and decided to go put my patio umbrella down and was treated to an outflow boundary breeze. It has been knocking the temp down, which is currently down to 84. But the biggest difference is the dewpoint which is now down to 67.

    I'm going to probably have to put my umbrella down so it doesn't do a Mary Poppins. It's just that many times when I preemptively do that, I never get the rain! Warnings have been lofted N/W.

    Yeah I remember he and my dad got to chatting back then (they were both WWII vets). Looks like 95 will be my high and it's starting to cloud over. Currently overcast and 90 with dp 71.

    My sister and I and one of my nieces had gone up there. It really brought back some memories. I remember when Chief Halftown used to be at Crystal Cave. There's a lot of Birds' stuff to the west. Not sure how much will hold together by the time it gets here but it looks pretty rough! Currently down to 93 with dp 74.

    A spotter in Kutztown reported quarter and dime-size hail around the campus. I was last up there about 10 years ago (doesn't seem like it) to go to the Folk Festival and Crystal Cave that I hadn't been to in over 40 years, so I have a visualization of the area. And I just hit 95 with dp 76. Will not set foot outside if I can help it.

    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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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 -
  13. Hurricane Agnes
    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.
  14. 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.
  15. Hurricane Agnes
    3 RERs today -
  16. 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.
  17. Hurricane Agnes
    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!
  18. Hurricane Agnes
    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.
  19. Hurricane Agnes
    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.
  20. Hurricane Agnes
    Gonna have to chance your account name to "ChasingWaves".
  21. Hurricane Agnes
    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.

    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.
  25. 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.
