Hurricane Agnes

PNS that was published late last night - Bottomed out at 67 this morning and am currently under overcast skies with temp 75 and dp 69.

Schuylkill flooding in Pottstown and Norristown. That is all going to come downstream.

I actually made it up to 84 as a high before the heavy rain started. Still sitting at 69 with dp 68, and sky trying to brighten before sunset.

Had been getting some light rain still but the back edge is moving closer and am not registering anything at the moment. Currently have 1.80" for the day and 2.57" over 2 days. Currently overcast and misty and 69 with dp 68.

It's coming. Some yellows are headed your way. So far I am down to lighter rain with the heaviest band having moved to my east. Currently have 1.62" in the bucket (1.61" since the 1st light round and 2.39" over 2 days). Temp is 68 with dp 68.

As soon as that complex consolidated in a line, it seems the storm motion accelerated and the line of storm clusters has picked up some speed. Current almost 2"/hr rates still and have 1.21" in the bucket for the day so far. Temp 68 dp 67.

City now under a FFW. Am under heavier returns and getting >2"/hr rates. Now at 0.70" in the bucket. Temp 69 with dp 68. Lots of convection around.

For the Radarscope fans (right on my doorstep). Now up to 0.24" for the day.

Cell is blowing up. Getting steamy windows and >1"/hr rates. Have 0.19" so far.

Night fell. Getting 1/2" per hr rain. Temp 77, dp 73.

A tiny cell just formed right near me. Am getting some rain again. I see it on the walk but it's not measurable yet as it just started up. Temp is 79 and dp 74.

NBC10's Justin Godynick just reporting on KYW that parts of Berks have reported upwards of 10" of rain! That's Floyd territory.

Looks like the discrete cells are organizing into a line. Meanwhile, the sun has come out here (although is going in and out in general) and temp is up to 83 with dp 74. Still sitting with 0.01" from a sideswipe earlier this morning (0.78" over the past 2 days) but if that line holds, yikes.

Ugh. Hope it moves out of there and starts to drain before you have to go... Have been watching that moving up from the south. KYW had NIBC 10's Justin Godynick on who mentioned that so far, there was nothing in Jersey but it was coming as the complex slowly moves east.

Which Newark? There are 2 of them in 2 different states (and pronounced differently to boot) in or near the CWA! And yeah, if that doesn't break up and move on, you also may end up with trees uprooting and falling on wires - even if there was not much wind. I noticed the motion had started west -> east earlier but then started going south -> north, but it keeps back-building over the Reading area.

I was wondering where you were. Like 2/3rds of Berks has been under that. I'm currently at 81 with dp 75 and overcast. Most of the stuff has stayed west of here.

That's not far from where the Schuylkill flows into Montco. Doesn't take much for that area to flood out from the river, let alone the heavy rain.

I just updated the post to note they literally just issued a FFW for up there right after I posted.

All of northern Bucks is under the gun. EDIT - FFW just issued for your area right after I posted.

Now getting some light rain with 0.01" recorded so far. Also getting the thunder as the stuff begins to build up. Temp 78 with dp 76. Had popped out and it was steamy although not as bad as it was yesterday (at least yet).

Norman up with the Watches - I bottomed out at 71 earlier this morning and have so far had a high of 81. Since it has been mostly overcast, the temps have been fluctuating and am currently at 79 with dp 76. Stuff bubbling up nearby.

So far with the round 1 and a wrap-around round 2, I got 0.77" of rain today. I saw where Mt. Holly had a Climatology section showing some of the rainfall records for tomorrow, am guessing because those might be challenged - I heard on KYW's traffic report earlier that Delaware Ave. near Spring Garden was completely under water. i know part of that stretch tends to have a little flooding at high tide (in fact I think one small section of it is actually below sea level), and particularly when it's around the time of a full or new moon, so it doesn't take much down there. Currently an overcast steam bath and 71 with dp 70.

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.
