    Now up to 1.39" for the day (3.03" for the 3-day event so far). There was a pause for a bit but the rain has picked up again. Currently 51 with dp 50 and light rain.

    And that looks to sit there for awhile too. Now have 1.28" for the day (2.92" for the 3 days). I did see a Flood Advisory was issued for Philly metro. KYW traffic was reporting that both the Black and White Horse Pikes are closed for flooding outside of AC.

    Looks like Ian has transferred to the offshore low and that low is sitting not far from the 40/70 benchmark. LOL

    Wow. Mother Nature produces a forecast fail that had originally progged this area for 1 - 1.5" or so, and we are easily double that total over the past couple days. Just for today, am up to 1.12" at post time and with the 1.62" yesterday and 0.02" Friday night, I am at 2.76" for the 3 days so far and am way WEST of I-95, where S/E was supposed to have "more". Currently have light rain and 53 with dp 52.

    Looks like Ian is gonna do a dress rehearsal of a "Miller B-style" transfer to the coast and then become a cut off nor'easter. Finally finished up with 1.62" of rain before the midnight bell and have picked up another 0.03" this morning, so am now at 1.67" total over 3 days. Also noted the low stratus and some fog before I headed off to bed last night. The low so far this morning has been 56 and it's currently overcast, misty, and 57 with dp 51.

    Another small band passed through here between 9 - 10 am giving me another 0.04" for 1.59" for the day (so far) and 1.61" for the 2-day event. Currently overcast/misty and 55 with dp 55.

    For the winter lovers, I did see this posted in the Ian thread (including the newer tweets - the report came from someone up in the mountains) - Also saw this -

    Well just before going to bed last night, it started raining lightly and I picked up 0.02". But by this morning, all hell broke loose and being in a rain pause/dry slot, I currently have 1.55" in the bucket for today so far, with the heaviest coming between 4 - 6 am. So have a total of 1.57" for the 2-day event at post time. Currently overcast, misty and 52 with dp 51.

    We'll know for sure if/when we have a Ralph sighting! It'll be like a "Ralph Wiggum Day" - if he sees his shadow, then 6 more weeks of summer, but if not, then winter begins (Fall? What fall??!!)!

    Well made it to 62 for a high today after a low of 50. Was overcast from Ian streamers all day although there was a hazy sun trying to peep through. Currently overcast and 58 with dp still low at 48 (will have to see how long it takes to moisten that up to see any measurable).

    That's almost like what happened at Panama City Beach/Mexico Beach/Port St. Joe with Michael. Michael was more intense (eventually confirmed as a Cat 5 at landfall) but in either case, anything not poured concrete as a structure, was just obliterated, whether from the surge and/or from the winds.
  12. Hurricane Agnes
    Watching some chasers in Charleston trying to help some stalled cars and there is surge going on. They are near the Savannah Highway/bridge and water is coming up out of the man holes.

    I remember it taking at least 3 hours to drive the 12 miles home from work during Floyd! At the time I had one of those half barrel water gardens with various aquatic plants and 2 large comets in it (they were each about 9" long, head to tail). I think the insert for it holds about 20 gallons of water. I had the half barrel on a covered balcony that was otherwise open to the elements but still had to run out periodically to bucket excess water out of it or the fish would end up spilling out over the sides of the barrel, and then eventually washing over the edge of the balcony.

    Since it as a history of crawling along, it may be a prolonged period intermittent rain. The expectation was not so much what might be directly from the remnants of it but anything that gets spun off from those remnants. As it is, the streamers from it are completely overhead here and it's currently overcast and 53 IMBY, with dp still low at 45.
  15. Hurricane Agnes
    There's some cold air in that high pressure too - there were some frost advisories up overnight and earlier this morning for those directly under it too.

    Those images almost remind me of the tragic flooding pics of Harvey in TX around the developments, although so far Ian hasn't reached the obscenely excessive levels of rain that Harvey produced as a cutoff 'caine that just meandered around SE TX sucking in GOM moisture, and depositing it beneath where it traveled. Will have to see how close it does get to that amount of rain though. Ian has slowed a bit from the last update per the 5 am -
  17. Hurricane Agnes
    It was definitely a change, although I expect a few days of "steam" from Ian before it moves on and the air gets scoured out again.
  18. Hurricane Agnes
    Interesting that you mention the Ukie because IIRC, the Ukie actually nailed (2017) Irma's track where it crawled along the northern coast of Cuba before it made its northward turn towards FL, so I know I try to keep the Ukie in my pocket for times like this.

    Saw the exact same thing this evening. Called it an "Ian sunset" where a few of the separated furthest north bands were even visible from my vantage point! Was surprised, although perhaps shouldn't have been, that my high only got up to 66 today. The dp was also dry enough to start generating the "winter like" static electricity walking across the carpet here.. LOL It's currently 59 with dp 47.

    Ian was downgraded to a TS with the 5 am update - Looks like the buzz saw wants to fly off the coast, but slowly.

    NHC's tweet with WPC's precip forecast - southern areas of the CWA will be getting fringed. I suppose what might make a difference is how long a duration is, including any wrap-arounds as the system exits and moves away from the east coast. Currently down to 50 about 10 minutes before sunrise with dp 47.
  22. Hurricane Agnes
    My Tues. high was 70 and yesterday's high a 68, after a low of 50. It's currently 51 with dp 47 and will be monitoring the track of what will be left of Ian as it is progged to get up here in some form or fashion this weekend and even as soon as Friday night. Ian was just downgraded to a tropical storm at the 5 am update and will soon exit FL. I know whatever comes up here is gonna have to fight some dry air. SPC's SWDY3 has the SE part of the CWA under "Marginal Risk" for severe -

    LOL figured Josh would be there. Am thinking that was the same boat that was on dry bed with some sailboats earlier today before the surge came and now it is hung up in some electric wires.

    I've been watching some chasers all day and don't recall that kind of flooding. In fact they were showing all the blow-out tides. I did see pics/vids similar to that for Naples and Ft. Meyers. Punta Gorda is getting the heavy rains, flooding , and some surge in the low-lying/beach areas now.
  25. Hurricane Agnes
    Hurricane Michael at Mexico Beach had surge in that range up to about 14ft.
