Hurricane Agnes

Severe Thunderstorm Watches are up! Need the rain now - seriously! I also heard a cicada so loud that the sound was audible through the brick walls and almost sound-proof windows! Currently 95 here with dp an awful 80. Some fair weather cumulus are bubbling up too.

Thanks to the overcast and on and off rain, I didn't hit 80 today. Bottomed out at 70 and only made it up to 78 (at least so far). Also picked up 0.30", which was welcome since a few days ago I just had a hundredth or two of rain since the 1.30" from Monday. Still, I am up to 6.5" for the month of July so far. Currently overcast and 76 with dp that has crept back up into the 70s and is at 74.

The heaviest returns have so far moved east and am down to light rain with 1.26" in the bucket. That takes me up to 5.78" of rain for the month so far. It did knock the temp down and it's currently 74 with dp 73.

Had a pop-up shower yesterday that gave me 0.07" but am now under a > 2.5"/hr gully washer with 0.70" in the bucket at post time, and over 5" for the month so far. Did hit 90 today for #8 of 90+ days this month. Currently heavy rain and 75 with dp 74.

Finished up with 0.99" yesterday, 2.88" over the past 3 days, and 4.45" for the month of July so far. Bottomed out at 67 this morning and it's currently overcast and 72 with dp 69.

My rain rates have gradually increased to almost 1"/hr give or take, as the heaviest, and now back down to about 1/3"/hr and currently have 0.53" in the bucket at post time. Temp down to 74 with dp 73. Most of the current heavier returns have moved to my east. Looks like a TOR up in DE.

This is a noisier storm than yesterday (although yesterday had the winds). Rain rates have been somewhat modest - ~1/3"/hr so far. Have 0.08" in the bucket at post time. Temp knocked down to 77 with dp 75.

It got pitch black here and rain is starting, coming up from the SW. Temp is 83 with dp 74 and getting thunder and some lightning.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Currently clouding up IMBY with a temp of 87 and dp of 72,

Wasn't sure if I'd get there but I did tap 90 today just after 2:30 pm. That was day 4 in a row for a current heatwave and have now had 6 of 9 days in July of 90 and above. For the past 3 months (MJJ) so far, I have had 13 days of 90+ & 1 day of 100. It's currently a partly sunny and hazy 88 with dp 72.

I finished up with 0.92" for the day (1.90" over the past 2 days and 3.47" for the month of July so far). I even got treated to a double rainbow at the end that I didn't know was out there until my Wyndmoor sis texted a pic of it from her house (she's a couple miles from me). Currently clearing and 73 with dp 73.

Still getting some light rain from the back edge as it slowly moves through, plus come thunder. Currently have 0.71" in the bucket. Temp is 73 with dp 72. ETA - have 1.69" rain over the past 2 days (at post edit time) and 3.24" for the month of July so far.

Now >2"/hr rates. Have 0.56" in the bucket. Temp down to 73 with dp 73.

Getting >1.5"/hr rain rates. Have 0.28" in the bucket at post time. Temp down to 75 with dp 73.

Getting the rains now and winds are pretty fierce. Temp dropped and down to 81 with dp 76. Sky is black.

Getting hit with a gust front - I peeped out and the winds suddenly came. Looks like around Jenkintown (about 4 miles NE of me) may have had the rotation.

Am under a TOR. EAS Warned.

Here we go - So far have had a high of 93 and currently 92 with dp 78.

After some dribs and drabs, I finished up with 0.98" from that isolated band. Currently a soupy 75 with dp 74.

I just got rocked by a thin but heavy bandlette - at one point getting upwards of almost 3"/hr rates and steaming up the windows. That netted me 0.96" in the bucket! I had been in Ft. Washington earlier this morning and on my way home, hit a brief light scattered shower out that way (no bucket tips at home from that though). Bottomed out at 76 this morning and actually got up to 91 for a high, even with the mostly threatening skies. The rain knocked the temp down and it's currently overcast and 77 with dp a soupy 77.

My sister, BIL, and niece were just there July 3rd. I haven't been there (or Chanticleer) in many years but I know it's probably incredible right now! I managed to hit 90 today just after 3:30 pm after a low of 67. The humidity is definitely back though and will probably get worse as some of the moisture from the remnants of TD Chantal get sucked up here. It's currently a mostly sunny 85 with dp 72.

"Home grown" TD3 has formed and expected to become TS Chantal before landfall. Bottomed out at 65 this morning and made it up to 84 for a high. Currently mostly sunny and 81 with a very manageable dp of 62. Perfect fireworks (or lighted drones) weather!

I finished up with 1.46" of rain yesterday and had 0.11 overnight and this morning for a 2-day July total of 1.57" and a 3-day event total of 2.20". Bottomed out at 70 this morning and actually got up to 86 for a high today. It's currently a partly sunny (as the sun begins to set soon) and somewhat hazy 81 with dp 72.

Ended up with an additional 0.06" after the last report for a day total of 1.32" but then got another hundredth for 1.33" about 20 minutes ago. I saw a TOR was up briefly for northern Montco/southern Berksco. Currently a misty 77 with dp 76,

Had to go to a dentist appointment this afternoon and then pick up something from the pharmacy and barely made it in the door. It got dark fast! So far an up to 1.26" (total) in the bucket with > 2"/hr rates. Am under a fresh warning. Temp down to 76 with dp 73.
