Hurricane Agnes

Finally getting some measurable. Temp down to 77 with dp 75.

The line is holding so far. Am actually getting some droplets and lots of convection. Storm being warned as I post.

That is getting warned right now.

Complete fizzle and nada. Sun back up and temp up to 85 with dp 76. Maybe I can eek something out tomorrow. To recap, I had 0.05" from overnight and that was it. Meanwhile STS issued for Berks, Bucks, Montco -

Was hoping on this radar blip but it is fading fast. It did actually make it to 91 today, with sun in and out and it's currently overcast and 87 with dp 74.

I actually got a surprise 0.05" from that between 1 - 3 am. At this point, I'll take whatever dribs and drabs I can get, with the hope that it is at least "measurable". Am now up to 0.77" of rain total for the month. I bottomed out at 72 this morning and it's currently clearing, partly sunny, and 74 with dp 74.

I bottomed out at 70 this morning and have so far reached a high of 86 today. The dp has been slowly creeping back up but since today was one of those "unsettled" days, with bouts of clouds and occasional breaks of sun, it has been tolerable. It's currently mostly cloudy and 84 with dp 68.

So far I haven't hit 80 today, as much as the sun keeps trying to come out only to self-destruct, which is fine with me at this point. It's currently overcast with occasional breaks of sun and filtered sun and 79 with dp 63.

What a difference a day makes! It clouded over (thankfully) and that has suppressed the temps. It's almost 15 degrees cooler right now (@76) than yesterday around this time and almost 20 degrees cooler than the 2 days previous to that! Dewpoint is 60 to boot and it's a big relief before the next bout.

I did finally bottom out at 71 this morning and the morning has generally been overcast until the past half hour or so when the sun made its appearance. Temp is currently 75 with dp 61. And I did see that Mt. Holly posted the Philly RER for record high min! I also saw who sucked up all our rain. AC with a record-smashing event!

THIS. Grab a bushel of Jersey corn, tomatoes, and peaches as well as some crabs or clams and back across the bridge. Soon as we got in the house, the corn husking began, and the big pot of water was already on the stove to boil. As an obs, the humidity has thankfully dropped and it's currently 72 with dp 64.

Yeah lots of convection around.

With the sun out, the temp has recovered to 82 and now the air is really juiced with the dp now 78!

Warning up after the storm passed here (don't see anything back west of that) -

Sun has popped out. Picked up 0.22" from that. Lots of convection still around and a few thunders. Temp down to 77 with dp 75.

FINALLY.

Finally got drops wetting the sidewalk but nothing measurable. It did help "drop" the temp to 84 and raise the dp to 77!

Have a slightly darker green return over me and am still waiting for my 10 drops. Currently overcast, 86, and dropless, with dp 76.

I know there are supposedly the mix of the 13 & 17 year broods but like you note, I'm missing the annual giganto, non-red-eyed ones. The kind that you don't want to be in the way when they are flying somewhere fast. I remember getting smacked in the head by one while sitting at the top of the slide to our swing set back when I was a kid!

SPC up with the Thunderstorm Watches - Currently overcast with breaks of sun still and 88 with dp 76.

I am in NW Philly and have had exactly 0.5" of rain for the entire month of July IMBY, and at this point, I expect whatever line drops down here with the front, will evaporate enough to form dry slots just as they approach my part of the city. I welcome anything I can get but expect I'll be back out with the hose again in a few days (deep watered last on Friday).

Now have tapped 90+ #13 for July (#19 since May) just after 10 am this morning. The overrunning precip to the north and west has been throwing clouds down this way and that has been impacting the temps this morning, as the sun has been in and out. Currently overcast with breaks of sun and 88 with dp 76.

@5:59 am, 5 minutes after sunrise, it was 80 IMBY! I know this will end up being a RER for PHL for highest min (I think the previous record was 78). Dp is 75.

Some RERs up for today (so far). PHL & RDG broke, and ABE & TTN tied their highs - Currently partly sunny and 89 here with dp 73.

Briefly tapped 98 IMBY just before 2:30 pm but that might be it for me. Oddly (or thankfully), the dp stayed reasonable today although it has started creeping up now. It's currently a hazy 96 with dp 70. ETA for my 90s and above count - today was #12 for July and #18 since May (revised up one to included a missed June one). This time last year, I had 19, 90+s by this time since May 2021. However July 2021 had a total of 10 days at 90+ for the month and June had 9 for the month (May had 2), where this year June had far fewer with 3.
