Hurricane Agnes

Getting some round 2 fringing. Big blob to my south has been undulating. Currently getting light rain with 0.69" in the bucket, temp 77 and dp 75.

The pop-up final total (for now) was 0.66" (on top of my hose watering...lol). I'll take it. Currently overcast with sun in and out and 73 with dp 72.

Now almost 2"/hr rates but as it pulls away the sun is out. Looking for a rainbow where it *should be* and not there. It's a damn steamy tropical rainforest out there in any case with temp 75 and dp 73 & 0.66" in the bucket so far.

Now getting a gully washer w/1.5"/hr rates. So far have 0.40" in the bucket. Temp down to 75 with dp 73. Lots of convection around.

And right on cue. Couldn't buy a rain drop until I pulled out the hose and watered. Day 12 and finally getting a pop-up. Have 0.06" in the bucket as an edit and temp down to 80 with a thunderstorm.

LOL I caved and left it down and then pulled out the hose and watered. Then I saw there was a flood advisory up (looks like it may be for that cell in lower NE Philly). Luckily the sun has been mostly obscured today and so far the temp has held just under 90 for a high (so far) with an 89. Currently overcast and 87 with dp 75.

There weren't any PNS reports for Exton from yesterday but there was a "Flash Flood" report in the LSR for there - Maybe someone estimated and reported the water on the road? In any case, am currently at my "low" for the day (so far) of 74, with a high deck of cirrus, and dp 73. Got zippo for rain the past couple days and now on day 11 of being rain-less.

At least you got something. I'm still bone dry. Temp up to 83 with dp 74. The 90 ended up being my high for the day.

And the sun is out. Temp back up to 80 with dp 72.

It's literal virga here with whatever is the darker green blob going well north of here. That outflow boundary just stabilized it enough to take any chance of rain out of the equation. Currently sort of overcast because it is trying to break up with sun attempting to come back out again. Temp is 78 with dp 71. There's another line that has formed back by Harrisburg but I'm not even going to count on that surviving the trip.

Hope it doesn't completely fizzle before getting something out of it. I put the umbrella down but may have jinxed it by doing it. Temp down to 79 and watching those outflow boundaries moving to the west from Jersey too.

Outflow boundary! Temp down to 80, dp 72.

Some kind of gust front or maybe convective outflow boundary. Winds got a bit gusty briefly. Temp is down to 85 with dp 74.

Looks like some of it passed right over Paul!

Wow. Blob has basically been undulating in the area. Jackpot zones... LOL I actually put buckets out at times to catch some rain water that I can filter and use for plants inside. I have some that are fluoride sensitive adn they do better with that rain water. Currently 87 with dp 73 and watching the radar closely. I have my patio umbrella up and will leave it up until I *think* I may be getting something because when I have kept it down, it has been dry dry dry.

Excellent! Was just looking at the radar. Am hoping I can cash in on some of that. Currently starting to cloud up a bit although the sun is still breaking through, and 88 with dp 74.

Yay! Just hit 90 a few minutes ago for my 4th day in a row. Sun had been in and out earlier but now have more scattered cumulus and the temp had been hovering in the low 80s before shooting up. After a warm "low" of 75, am currently partly cloudy and 89 with dp 73. Am watching that line to the west and hoping hoping hoping I can get something from that.

So far have had nada of the sky liquid today (nor any since 6/27). I did tap 94 for a high just before 4:30 pm and it's currently partly cloudy and 84 with dp 74.

Just saw it back-build at ya! I hit 90 just before noon and my high of 91 so far, just after noon today. Now officially my first "heat wave" of the season, with at least 3 consecutive days of 90 and above. Currently 91 with dp 73.

Well after a brief "low" of 73 this morning, have already shot up to 86, with dp 76, as of post time at 9:15 am. Since I missed out on any pop-ups the past week+, time to water the new plantings and containers.

LOL I saw a Flood Advisory was issued for that area and across into South Philly. I got a bunch of cumulus out there right now, alternating with haze. Temp crept back up to 88 with dp 75 and the lightning detector is picking up nearby convection (I think the thing has about a 25 mile radius range although it's more realistically around 15 - 20 miles).

CONGRATS!!! I saw you also finally got the red tag. Definitely don't be a stranger though. Ray checked in from over that way when he was out in Elko, NV (although probably because of his parents providing some obs too) before finally moving back east. My sister in Delco was under a cell across the river from you (she is in Upper Darby). She texted a bitmoji with a mushroom and "More rain". Meanwhile, I need some kind of pop-up here. Even if a half inch's worth. I managed to hit 94 for a high today and currently am at a hazy 86 with dp 75.

I never understood why they didn't "get" that come summer as people start dusting off their stored outdoor summer stuff (chairs, tables, umbrellas, etc), that some might need to buy some replacements or supplements, and if it's there in the store, they will not only pick that replacement stuff up but will often buy other stuff they think is cool (birdbaths, 2nd grills, fire pits, etc), let alone possibly consider some additional cooling options like window ACs and fans. Well my "low" this morning was 73 and I have now hit 91 as a high for the day so far. With the sun in and out and temp bopping around, am currently back up to 91 after sitting at 90 for a bit, with dp 72.

I already heard some "back to school" commercial on the radio this past Monday (may have been Staples ). Still had no precip. overnight and there has now been no measurable IMBY since 6/27. Am hoping I can get under some pop-up and not have to whip out the hose. My high yesterday ended up at 91 and it's currently 74 with dp 72.

Just got home from my sister's house in Wyndmoor and other than one brief period when there was suddenly a cool easterly breeze coming in (am thinking outflow from some storms nearby), there was nada up here in NW Philly and just across the border in Montco. It didn't even look like it was going to do anything. Looking at the radar at the time, all of the stuff was racing south of me as it moved east. Even got the alerts about the "pause" of the Wawa Welcome America downtown as they were getting hit by a large blob that probably took up the whole southern half of the city. Anyway, currently clouding up and 78 with dp 73.
