Hurricane Agnes

Once the winds went calm overnight, I had some pretty efficient radiational cooling, dropping down to a low of 53 this morning about 10 minutes before sunrise. Have since gotten a few puffs of breeze the past hour and with full sun, and a cloudless sky, the temp has recovered nicely and I am up to 70 with dp a pleasant 46.

Maxed out at 79 today with a lot of blue sky and some cirrus and just 30% humidity much of that time. It's currently clear and 70 just before sunset, with a dp of 47.

I topped out at 84 yesterday with lower humidity and bottomed out at 56 this morning. It's currently all blue sky and 69 with dp a nice low 43.

The full effect of frontal passage and drier air advecting in overnight meant I radiated and bottomed out at 56 this morning. The temp has since recovered and it's currently a clear and sunny 67 with dp 56.

Ended up with a high of 79 today after a low of 66. Have had lots of high clouds today so the sun was in and out. Currently partly sunny and 73 with a much lower dp of 56.

Ended up with 0.39" with the burst of showers. Currently overcast and 70 with dp 69.

Am under a heavier blob of rain and get about 1.4"/hr rates. Currently at 0.23" in the bucket. Temp is 74 with dp 71.

TS Warning up -

When that was issued, they were predicting this - https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/vtec/#2022-O-NEW-KPHI-FA-A-0004/USCOMP-N0Q-202206021905 I know different parts of the area may have different FFG based on antecedent conditions so up north, their waterways might be able to handle more than down this way. ETA - WPC has our area penciled in -

Flood Watch issued - So far have hit 86 as a high today and am currently at 85 and mostly cloudy with occasional sun, and dp 69.

Here we go!

Bottomed out at 62 this morning and the sun is just now trying to break through the low clouds. I got missed by all the pop-ups overnight and so far this morning. Currently mostly cloudy with peaks of sun and 71 with dp 67.

Looks like it dumped much of its load on Valley Forge, KOP, and Phoenixville, and has finally fizzled out.

It may end up side-swiping me to the south but that cell has been generally stationary.

Yeah it has been sortof undulating in one place.

Has some towering cloud tops.

I can see the front of it looking to the WSW. My temp is down to 75 with dp 66. Convection is firing up (at least the lightning detector is picking it up).

STS issuing right now for us!

I have been periodically looking at the radar as little cells form, expand as they move to the east, and then fizzle. Most of the heaviest action has been in NE PA, SE NY, and NW NJ on either side of the PA/NY/NJ border.

Well I squeezed out one more degree to get to a final high of 84 today around 5:20 pm. It's currently partly sunny and 80 with a dp of 69.

Norman has a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for our Lehigh Valley and North central Jersey parts of the CWA - So far my high has reached 83 for the day and it's currently partly sunny, clouding up a bit, and 83, with dp 68, so not as comfortable as it was earlier this morning.

SPC SWDY2 has the southern parts of the CWA in a "Slight Risk" - I had noticed early this morning how the radar was fired up around the NYC area so I expect that is where the backdoor front was at the time. I suppose wherever it wobbles/settles will be where the convection will be. In any case, am still sitting at 68 and sunny with dp 62.

I could tell when the backdoor started pushing through here because when I came down this morning just after 4 am, the temp was around 76 and was slowly creeping down... But then by ~6:30 am, it had suddenly dropped down to 67 (my low so far). In any case, it's currently sunny and 68 with dp 62.

I remember some classrooms might roll in one of those gigantic metal pedestal fans. Had to be close to 36" diameter. Well 95 was my high for the day and it's currently down to 84 with dp back up again to 67. There was one RER for today for Reading, which tied its record high today (the Text Products page is supposed to move to a new site 6/14/22 so right now, the current one has some stuff in odd locations like the below) -

Oh I know that feeling. When I was in public school here we just pulled the bottom sashes of the windows all the way up, fought over who got to use the window pole to pull down the top sash, turned off the lights, and put our heads down on our desks while the bees flew around the room (no screens). Still haven't gone higher than 95 here (yet) although it continues to bop between 94 and 95 and is currently 94 w/dp now down to 61 (still a bit uncomfortable but better than the mid-upper 60s earlier this morning).
