Hurricane Agnes

Yup. They have a short but intense growing season up yonder (at least in the upper plains). Well not a drop of rain overnight so... Anyway had a "low" of 74 this morning and it's currently 82 (although it earlier spiked to 84) and the dp is 73.

Well it has started clouding up and there is stuff on the radar... but whether it survives to get here intact is the $64,000 question. It's currently overcast and 84 (after making it up to 87 before the clouds rolled in) with dp 70.

Only thing is - those more northern latitude areas also get longer hours of daylight (e.g., International Falls, MN has just over 16 hours of daylight around the solstice) where around this neck of the woods, we are just barely hitting 15 hours max. So although they may be closer to the Canadian air masses, they have extended heating whenever a ridge builds over that part of the country. Otherwise without an amplified ridge and a more zonal flow, I expect they would definitely be cooler up there - at least if they aren't in a drought state (where that tends to amplify and radiate the heat much more). Well had to get out there and give my plants some top-off water and the humidity is definitely starting to build although it wasn't too bad when in some shade. It's currently 85 and mostly sunny (after a low of 68), with some cirrus and a few cumulus clouds starting to pop up, and with dp 69.

Amazing low-humidity day yesterday with a final high of 89 and not a cloud in the sky. Had a great bbq at one of my sister's houses yesterday and the lightning bugs were competing with the early fireworks. After a low of 65 this morning, made it up to 87 today and it's currently 84 and mostly sunny with lots of cirrus and a low dp of 53.

The "leftovers" this morning finally gave me some measurable - albeit a measly 0.06" but I guess I'll take it. Bottomed out at 72 this morning with steamy windows but the dp has been dropping, the clouds are parting, and the temp is 75 with dp 63.

I got zero here and was hoping for some rain so I don't have to pull out the hose. Am guessing the cold front has sagged south and took the rain with it as the temp has dropped to 77 with dp 68.

That is a wild-looking line! One of my sisters is down at the Phillies game and I pre-warned her. The city cancelled the concert and fireworks scheduled for tonight. I made it up to 92 before it clouded over and am currently at 86 with dp 73.

Here we go! Temp has hit 91 here and dp 72. Saw a nasty cell has popped up out in Lancaster.

Whatever was on the radar went scooting to the northeast, the cloud cover has dissipated for the most part, and the sun has come out. That has sent the temp on an upwards climb, along with the dp. Currently 82 with dp a steamy 76.

I sortof bottomed out at 75 (so far) this morning and it's currently overcast and 76 with dp 73, and some stuff slowly heading east. I did see that TS Colin formed this morning off the coast of SC and is expected to head ENE over the next couple days. Just based on this morning's cone, I would think this would cause some rip current/heavy surf issues along the Delaware and S. Jersey beaches right around July 4th.

Well that line fizzled before getting here although my Upper Darby sister texted that she got a couple minutes of rain and that was it (nothing here). Currently have the sun breaking through the clouds and 84, with dp 72 (which I guess is better than the 75 dp earlier).

Don't know how much of that line will survive but whatever antecedent clouds it threw this way have dropped the temps down to about 87 after an earlier intraday high of 93. Currently hazy and overcast with temp 89 and dp 74.

Am above 90 now for the 7th time since May. Currently 91 with dp 75, which is scary. Lots of cumulus out there too. There is an active breeze although it probably works better when in the shade.

It's definitely off to the races here this morning with temp at 87 and dp 75. Low was 70 just after 4 am with the steamy windows alert, so it didn't bother to wait for full radiational cooling around sunrise to start shooting up. I did step outside earlier to put an ant bait in a potted citrus and ack.

Had an unexpected high of 90 today (3rd for the month of June and #6 since May) and the dp managed to keep itself in check, generally staying in the upper 50s and low 60s. It's currently bopping between 87 and 88, partly sunny with lot of cumulus, and sporting a dp of 62.

SPC SWDY3 has the CWA penciled in for either Marginal or Slight Risk for severe for Saturday - Currently clear and 65 IMBY with dp 63.

I had a somewhat surprising low of 59 this morning and made it up to 86 as a high. Thanks to relatively modest dps, it made for an acceptable early summer day ahead of the upcoming torch. It's currently partly cloudy and 82 although the dp is slowly creeping up and is 64, after being in the upper 50s much of the day.

I think I had the makings for a nice sunset but it wasn't colorful enough to qualify. I would have loved to have gotten that much here so I could coast the rest of the week before the torch comes, but alas. Ended up with a low of 63 this morning about 15 minutes after sunrise and well after the cold front finally came through. It's currently mostly sunny and 66 with dp a manageable 56. I could easily spot when that front came through just after midnight as the change was pretty dramatic!!

Well the sun popped out but there are still leftover clouds and I did see the cells that bubbled up in S. Philly that traveled across the river into Camden County. Made it up to 78 and after a steamy window day, it's currently 74 with dp still up there at 71 (cold front is near but not through with the drier air yet). Ended up with 0.36" in the bucket.

Just missed 90 yesterday with a high of 89. Had a low of 72 this morning and what sun there was early on, quickly disappeared fairly rapidly. Have had a couple spotty sprinkles enough to moisten the sidewalk but non-measurable, and it's currently overcast and 77 with dp a sauna-like 72. Need a good soaking rain to keep the plants happy.

After a 66 low this morning, I did make it to 91 as a high. Although some of the high dps this morning did finally mix out, it was still a bit uncomfortable. It's currently partly cloudy and 84 with dp 68. This was the 2nd 90+ day this month and last month there were 3, so total 5 days that have reached 90+ this season so far.

Ended up with a high of 72 yesterday and 0.60" of rain. This morning started with some low stratus but has now evolved into fog with <1/4 mile vis. The low so far was 59 and it's currently foggy and 60 with dp 60.

Ended up with a high of 77 yesterday and low of 62 this morning and that slooooowwwww moving band has finally gotten here to give my plants a "natural drink" ahead of this weekend. Currently have light - moderate rain with a temp of 64 and dp 63. So far have 0.29" in the bucket.

I had a little passing shower yesterday that deposited 0.02" of rain, but other than that, had a low of 63 this morning and it has progressively clouded up and is a breezy 75 with dp 66.

I bottomed out at 59 around 2 am and the temps slowly crept back up to the 60s, dragging the dps up too. Did see some cool bubble-wrap stratus earlier this morning. It's currently an increasingly overcast 70 with a noticeably more humid dp of 58.
