  1. STS for northern parts of Bucks, Chester, Montco -
  2. I briefly tapped 96 just after 3 pm and and it's currently partly cloudy and 94 with what IS an atrocious dp of 76.
  3. Already tapped 91 just before 11 am this morning and it's currently 91 with a sticky dp of 75. I don't think I'll hit PHL's forecast 97 temp (I usually run a couple degrees cooler although that depends on the position of the Bermuda high), but will see how close I get. Am at an "official" new heatwave with day #3 of 90+ for the month (#23 since May).
  4. I think September is usually the peak month - ocean temps for the Atlantic are pretty much at max and that helps to fuel the cyclogenesis. It's pretty toasty right now as it is! I think climatically, the tropical systems have become one of the major sources of rain in the midatlantic states after often-dry summers and can usually save the area from being in extended droughts like other parts of the country. Still sitting at 71 but the dp has ticked up to 70.
  5. When CoolHandMike was talking about his year's data, I started scanning mine and saw the difference in precipitation between last year and this year around the same time. I know this year it seems that rain was front-loaded in spring before drying up. Agree with Birds though, it'll ramp up eventually. Right now most of the cyclones have been going in the Pacific. I ended up hitting 91 as a high yesterday a few minutes after the previously-reported 90 and so far have 71 as a low this morning and it's currently 71 with dp 69.
  6. Hit 90 #2 for August and #22 since May, just after 2 pm. It's currently sunny and 90 with a dp of 66, so not too too bad.
  7. I managed to make it up one more degree to 91 as a high yesterday just before 4 pm and had a low this morning of 70. This morning it's currently 71 with dp a much lower 63.
  8. i hit 90 #1 for August and #21 since May. The dewpoints are up though. It's currently a partly sunny 90 with scattered cumulus, and dp is 73.
  9. I salute anyone trying and managing to get 1/2 a garden of veggies going this year considering how out-of-whack the weather has been - excessive rain in spring, late frosts/freezes in May, and then the inconsistent rain along with the heat. I overwinter some citrus and a fig and was late getting those out. I have blueberries that had the rare occurrence of flowers getting frost-killed (over the years they normally were fine but this year not so much). Decided to just have some herbs (in a raised planter) and call it a season. In any case as an OBS - thanks to the overcast nearly all day yesterday, I never reached 80, where my high was 77. The sun did finally come out late in the afternoon. As for today, my low was 68 and it's currently sunny and 70 with dp 70.
  10. I actually got another hundredth of an inch from a stray radar return over me some time between 9 am - 10 am, giving me 0.35" for the day and 0.39" over the 2 days. Currently overcast and 71 with dp 68.
  11. Ended up with 0.04" of rain yesterday giving me 1..65" total for the month of July. And thankfully more passed over here this morning and I pretty much finished with 0.34" (total 0.38" for 2 days), and I'll take it given that this may be it for much of the rest of the week. Bottomed out at 66 this morning and it's currently overcast, misty, and 67 with dp 66.
  12. After an amazing low of 66 this morning, I just mised 90 and ended up with an 89 instead. Meanwhile I was skeptical about the big blob that moved this way but it has given me a little bit of measurable so far (0.04" so far), so I'll take what I can get. Currently 71 and drizzle with dp 69.
  13. Looks like my high for the day was 88 and finally a nice mix-out of the dews to boot! It's currently a mostly sunny 87 with some fair weather cumulus popping up, and dp 59.
  14. You got more than I did. I have 1.61" for the month and most of that came the past week. (I definitely wouldn't want to be flooded either - moderation is obviously best)
  15. I am about 5 miles east of KLOM and did a quicke snapshot of NWS's "current conditions" there and they are showing a dp of 64, which is my current. I don't normally use them for myself because that is out near Bluebell and not as much UHI affected. My current temp is 77. (ETA - I peeped at KPHL and they are showing a dp of 65)
  16. Bottomed out at 70 this morning and it's currently mostly sunny with some scattered cirrus, 74, and a dp of 68.
  17. SpaceX has a stream with approximate position here -
  18. That "drunk guy" was the Superintendent for the Coatesville schools for 42 years , from 1876 (the time of the U.S. centennial) to 1918. I expect you missed that part because it was too much to read.
  19. That basically disintegrated by the time it got to me. Don't know if any might form later overnight but I am at least glad to have gotten a good soaking yesterday. I did make it up to 85 as a high today and it's currently mostly cloudy but with breaks in the cloud deck, and 77 with dp 70.
  20. My high of 91 yesterday was #14 for July (#20 since May). My low this morning was 71 and so far today has been mostly overcast with breaks of sun here and there. It's currently overcast and 80 with dp 73.
  21. FFW issued for a narrow strip including where I am - Finished up (so far tonight) with 0.89" total for the day. Currently 72 with dp 71.
  22. Now up to 0.88" for the day (0.05" round 1 + 0.83" current). Temp is 73 with dp 72. and now down to light rain as the heaviest band is now east of here. THANKFUL!
  23. Now getting >2.5" rain per hour. Currently up to 0.54" for the day (0.05 from earlier round + 0.49" current round)
  24. Now getting the steamy windows. Now finally getting some heavier returns - now almost 1.5" per hr. Currently up to 0.29
