    Have gotten under some reds on that band that is moving through and getting >3/4" per hr rates. Have 0.14" in the bucket so far. I did make it up to 68 as a high today once the sun finally came out. It's currently raining and 59, with dp 55.

    Ended up with variable highs/lows as we went into the weekend, with a final high Friday of 66, a high of 70 on Saturday after a chilly 42 start, and a cooler high of 64 Sunday after a warmer low of 50. This morning has generally been overcast with the sun wanting to break through but not quite getting there. Bottomed out at 53 and it's currently 63 and overcast, with dp 57.

    I finished up with 0.71" yesterday and 0.09" this morning for a total of 0.80" of rain over the 2 days. Low this morning was 52 and it was definitely cooler for the high today, with a 66. Very nice fall day for sure once the skies cleared and the sun came out. It's currently 65 and sunny with dp a much drier 38.

    Figured that. It's rare that you get bulls-eyed or at least side-swiped like that!

    There was a weather radio alert out about that. Got another hundredth of an inch and am at 0.41" so far today. Temp/dp still 66. That line is really slow moving so I can how it an sit over an area and rain.itself into a flood-maker.

    I did pick up 0.40" so far today between 3pm - 5pm and the high managed to get to 70 before the rain cooled it off. Am currently under virga though and 66 with dp 66, so it's humid inside and out.

    We have had an amazing run of days since the weekend, where I eventually reached a high of 61 Sunday, 66 on Monday (low of 41), 71 on Tuesday (low of 47), and 69 yesterday after a low of 45. The dry run comes to end today with SPC SWDY1 highlighting our CWA as "Marginal Risk" - It's currently overcast ad 61 (after an earlier low of 59) with dp 59.

    Down to a Tropical Depression -

    Bottomed out at 37 this morning just before 7 am with the calm winds, lower dp, and high overhead. It has recovered and it's currently sunny with blue skies, 56 and dp 40. Last lows in that range were back in April.

    Got up to 60 as a high yesterday but the winds went calm here overnight, and with clear skies and a setting Full Hunter's Moon, the temp is reflecting the efficient radiational cooling. So far I dipped to 38 here for a low in NW Philly and am still over an hour before sunrise. Currently clear, moonlit, and 38 with dp 37.

    Landfall at 3:15 am ET - Julia has been booking it!!

    Julia just upgraded to a Hurricane with the 7 pm update -

    Made it up to 75 yesterday, warmer than Thursday and had a low of 46 this morning once the chilly air behind the cold front trickled in. I actually had a passing shower overnight between 2 - 3 am giving me 0.04" of rain. It's currently mostly sunny and 55 with some cumulus bubbling in, and a dp that has been slowly dropping to a current 40.

    My high yesterday reached 72, a far cry from highs in the 50s the prior couple days. The low this morning was 54. Am bringing the sensitive potted tropicals in right now - I usually do that over the Columbus Day weekend anyway (I know they hated those 40s which came earlier than normal). The subtropials should be fine for now. It's currently 72 with plenty of sunshine and blue sky, and with a dp of 55.

    With Ian's Cat 4, 150+ mph sustained winds at landfall, that would be in the range of a high-end EF2 tornado - but over a much larger area. And just based on some of the drone pics, that's the kind of damage that was observed where landfall occurred and where dwellings and other types of buildings weren't hardened for it. Add to that the surge, and you get a double-whammy.

    The city was briefly under a flood advisory in the mid afternoon of Sunday (Oct. 2, 2022). There was also an underlay of a coastal flood advisory for the metro area. I wasn't out in any of it but I registered 1.95" of rain just for that day, the most for a daily total out of the 6 days that we got some kind of precipitation. Where I live with a number of hills, I know there are a couple low lying areas near the little feeder creeks that feed the Wissahickon Creek that probably generated some minor street flooding. One such stretch was literally closed for months a year ago as part of a planned project to improve the drainage issues from rain runoff. Never got chance to see if the improvements worked or not.

    Received no more measurable yesterday after my last report so my final tall was 5.02" for what became a 6-day event (with 5 of those days being in October). My low this morning was 51 and for the first time in a week, the sun has appeared. It's currently mostly sunny and 54 with dp 50.

    From the Washington Post yesterday - https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/10/05/hurricane-ian-florida-victims/

    Saw there were a couple rainfall RERs for MPO and ABE for yesterday (no record low maxes though) - Skies here were finally trying to clear but not fast enough to do so before sunset. Still mostly cloudy and hanging in there at 60 with dp 59.

    Well the doppler has thinned out considerably although when I popped by the supermarket earlier this morning, a thin band decided to set up over my area and I got some measurable stratiform-like rain. So that brought me to 0.05" so far today and tipped me over the 5" mark at 5.02" since last Friday. After the damp, wet chill of the 40s yesterday, today's continued temp rise was distinctively humid. It's currently overcast and 60 (so far my high for the day) after a low of 51 earlier this morning, and with a dp of 58. Zombie Ian is still sitting out there spinning although some of the bands are getting more and more sparse.

    Looks pretty impressive and more organized on the sat this morning! Temp in IMBY has crept up to 55 with dp 55 and it's overcast and misty.
  23. Hurricane Agnes
    Eventually picked up a total of 0.69" of rain yesterday and along with another 0.02" so far this morning, that brings me to a total of 4.99" since last Friday. Low yesterday was 45 and I reached a high of 51. There has been some non-diurnal warming overnight so it's currently 54 and misty, with dp 53.
  24. Hurricane Agnes
    Yeah I finally saw something in today's AFD about potential record low max (I usually look at the 4 am and 4 pm - or thereabouts - ones each day and that wasn't in there until late last night and then through the day today - meant to scroll all the way down to check earlier this morning). I also saw mention of an RER for PHL for Oct. 2 rain and for ACY/AC Marina for Oct. 3 rain - Meanwhile I'm now up to 0.64" for the day (4.92" since last Friday). Currently in another lull and it's a misty 50 with dp 49.
  25. Hurricane Agnes
    Looks like I am in a lull so the tally for the day so far is at 0.60", bringing me to 4.88" for the event (since last Friday). Currently damp and misty and 48, with dp 47. I did finally break down and put the heat on this morning.
