Hurricane Agnes

Whatever scattered storms came east overnight missed me for any measurable and the temp remained mild overnight and this morning with a low of 71. The clouds cleared out from earlier and aside from the few scattered cumulus that have now been whisked away, it is sunny and off to the races with a temp of 84 already, but also with a dp of 75. Haven't stepped outside yet this morning but I can imagine. One of my sisters texted to say it was just awful. As a side note, Mt. Holly tweeted this yesterday about my "namesake" - Although I was not personally impacted by it where I lived, I had coworkers who were including one who literally lost everything (he and his family including his parents lived upstate I think around the Wilkes-Barre area) and that is when he said they packed up and moved down here to Philly. But my experience with it was from seeing the "before/after" change at the Girl Scout camp (Camp Laughing Waters) I used to go to, where I was there the summer of 1971 and then returned the following summer of 1972 only about a month after the hurricane flooded the area, sending the large creek (Swamp Creek) that ran through the camp, completely out of its banks, and across much of the camp area. Seeing that transformation had a significant impact on this then-budding weather hobbyist. The camp is still there and located around the Gilbertsville area (between there and Perkiomenville although I think the "official" address is listed as Gilbertsville) in Montco. The amount of damage was notable, with standing water still left all over the camp during the 2 weeks I was there for overnight camp. I eventually ended up going back in 1976 and they had completed much of the cleanup and bridge replacement/building repairs by then.

Tornado Watch up for the furthest north counties of the CWA (and western counties under State College) - SPC SWDY1 has part of the area in "Enhanced Risk" with the rest as either "Slight Risk" or "Marginal" - I actually made it up to 78 for a high today and have 0.41" in the bucket from the early morning rounds. It's currently overcast and 75 with dp 69.

Round 2 gave me 0.29" for a total of 0.40" so far this morning. temp and dp currently 64 with drizzle.

Now getting under a heavier blob with almost 1"/hr rates and some loud thunder. Temp 64 with dp 64. Have 0.35" in the bucket at post time.

Lots of convection (guessing cloud-to-cloud) going on with these segments. Finally getting a little round 2 of rain and currently 65 with dp 64.

Got 0.11" from the initial round and there are returns over me bu not getting any measurable precip from it yet except possible some drizzle. There has been convection (plus a thunder). Temp is 64 with dp 63.

Getting under some broken lines of showers with about a 1/3" per hr rate. Currently 66 with dp 62 and 0.07" in the bucket.

After a 62 low this morning, I managed to make it up to 88 as a high. The dews have been running in the low - mid-60s and was right on the edge of uncomfortable. It's currently partly sunny with lots of odds and ends cirrus, and dp 64.

Ended up with 0.09" from that round and the temp briefly "plunged" from the low 70s to 63 and finally to 62 as my low. The odds and ends pieces that may be associated with the MCV moved on out, the sun came out, the temp recovered, and it's mostly sunny much of the day. Temp is currently at 82 with dp 59.

Getting a shower from the line with about 1/3rd" per hr rates. Temp is down to 67 with dp 59. Currently have 0.07" in the bucket.

Had a little gust front come through. Temp is 70 with dp 57. ETA now getting some light rain.

Looks like an incoming line although I will say that the cold front dried out the humidity quite nicely and it's currently overcast and 71 with dp down to 53 this morning. Will see if that survives.

Had a high of 89 today with a dp that at one point, got as high as 74. It's currently clear and 82 with dp 69. I ended up with 0.04" from the little pop-up storm early this morning, despite all the sound and fury of it.

Well for a little cell that bubbled up and ran over MBY, it was a noisy one! Only got 0.03" of rain from it but lots of close-by lightning and thunder. Currently overcast and 68 with dp 68.

The sun and warm front eventually shot the temp up to 80 here for my high and now what may be round 2 (even if it becomes isolated pop-ups) is moving this way, and it has clouded up again. Current temp is 76 with dp 68.

Sun is starting to bust out here and temp is up to 74 with dp 68. That might juice it up some. SPC SWDY1 has us as "Marginal" with the last update -

So far with this (possible) round 1, I ended up with 1.39". Currently overcast and 72 with dp 69.

Flood Warning up for part of the area including NE Philly -

Flood Advisory for parts of the CWA (although for some reason missing my part of the city despite my now 1.30" of rain so far) - Currently 63 with moderate rain and dp 62.

Have been getting some convection over the past half hour and just heard a thunder from it. Currently have light rain and 62 with dp 62 and 0.35" in the bucket so far.

Made it up to 71 as a high yesterday after a low of 60. What was different yesterday was that there was the uncomfortable humidity. Am currently getting a heavy shower with >1"/hr rates and have 0.22" in the bucket so far at post time. Temp is 63 with dp 61.

Another "Chamber of Commerce Day" this morning as I ran to the supermarket. Almost fallish cool breeze. Currently mostly sunny and 74 with lots of cirrus, and dp 55.

About 10 minutes before sunrise it's currently clear and 60 with dp 53.

That seems to have been a pattern where it's like downsloping off the Piedmont into the relatively flat coastal plane as it crosses the river and then boom!

Had a feeling that was near someone here. Am surprised at the EF1. Saw some pics of the damage from it.
