Hurricane Agnes

Well it took all day but the sun is belatedly trying to make an appearance through the cloud deck. You can see on radar how the low has sortof crawled and stalled and has thrown a couple narrow bands of some areas. Currently mostly cloudy with some breaks of sun and 58, with dp 36.

Dribbed and drabbed my way to 0.20" for the day so far with some scattered returns on the radar occasionally drifting overhead. Currently at 3.08" for the 3-day event and still have overcast with a temp of 54 and dp of 35, with the moderate breezes continuing.

I think you are in a sliver of a dry slot. Still overcast and 44 here with occasional dribbles. Now have 0.19" for the day and 3.07" total.

Saturday's total was 2.00" on the dot by midnight, making for a 2.88" 2-day total. Have had 0.16" this morning that tapered off after 4 am, for a 3.04" total for the 3-day event so far. There was low stratus earlier this morning and I appear to have bottomed out at 40 for a low this morning. It's currently overcast, misty and 42 with dp 37 and still a bit breezy but much reduced from the past 2 days.

Have been trying to find what the record low max is for this date at PHL 'cause it seems we might be close. Also thinking it's possible to have record rainfall for this date at PHL too. There is a PNS and LSR for the winds but nothing for precip. Currently 45 and misty with occasional light rain and dp 44. Now have 1.61" for the day (2.49" for the 2-day event) and the winds seem to have let up some.

Have managed to get under a heavier band and am now up to 1.26" for this morning (for a 2.14" 2-day total so far). Temp is back down to 48 with dp 47 and light to moderate rain.

And the (obscured) sunrise has now brought the gusty winds out of the east (could hear them).

Ended up with 0.88" of rain Friday and currently have 0.46" at post time for a 2-day event total of 1.34" so far. Currently misty and 50, with an earlier low of 48.

Mt. Holly has a Wind Advisory for Philly metro and surrounding counties - Also an update on the coastal storm - Have been under a little heavier rain and am currently bopping between light and moderate, with 0.56" in the bucket so far. Currently light rain and 51 with dp 50.

After a high of 72 yesterday, I only made it up to 59 today after a low of 55. It took awhile before the rain finally trickled in to tip the bucket and it has generally been light all day and currently have 0.26" in the bucket. Currently 55 with light rain and dp 54.

Ended up with 0.11" yesterday (total 0.12" over the 2 days) and a high of 70. Had some low stratus this morning with some mist and a low of 53 and so far it is overcast with a deck of somewhat diffuse high clouds and 69 with dp 54.

I haven't heard any audible thunder here but there has been convection (lightning detector picked up some strikes). Currently light rain and 51 with dp 49 and 0.06" in the bucket.

Got a whole 0.01" out of that. Temp did drop though and with slowly clearing skies, I'm down to 57 with dp 51.

Last day of April had a low of 42 and high of 67. The month of April ended with 7.33" of rain IMBY. But now with the recent low humidity and gusty winds the past couple days, although the ground is nice and watered, the poor foliage is wanting for some moisture (but a little bit is coming). Had a low of 40 this morning and made it up to 72 for a high as the clouds rolled in. Currently mostly cloudy and 70 with dp 43 and a wide band of rain headed this way.

Suffice it to say, I was all over the map today with the winds! I made it up to 62 today and it's still mostly sunny, breezy and 61, with a dp down into the teens at 16, so some arid 17% humidity.

Bottomed out at 38 just after 5 am this morning but temp has recovered fairly quickly. Currently mostly sunny and 50 with dp 21.

Freeze Warning lofted all around Philly metro - Also saw that the name "Ida" has now been officially retired by the WMO - I may have hit my high for the day of 56 and it's currently 55 and sunny with dp now down to 17 and with the winds still gusting.

Red Flag Warning was lofted -

Looks like I may have bottomed out at 36 this morning now that I am posting right around sunrise. Currently mostly cloudy, 37 and very breezy, with a dp of 23.

Had a generally unsettled day today although the sun did make some appearances in between the CAA clouds. Had a low of 46 this morning and a high of 56. Currently down to 46 and mostly cloudy with dp down to 31. I did see the Fire Weather Watches have been lofted for Thursday and Friday.

Made it up to 61 yesterday and had a low of 53 this morning with some low stratus and generally overcast skies. Sun has popped out now and it's party cloudy and 64 with dp 55.

Ended up hitting a high of 64 yesterday and had a low of 50 this morning. Currently a beautiful blue sky and a sunny 70 with low humidity (dp 43).

Ended up a bit warmer than progged overnight possibly due to a deck of clouds (that were also present early this morning meaning being unable to look at the heavily-promoted 4-planet alignment with the moon). Low was 53 and it's currently mostly cloudy (although about an hour ago, the clouds had broken up a bit but are back) and 60 with dp 37.

All the weather entities have scaled that back to the mid-70s for Sunday. Mt. Holly noted the potential for a marine layer influence along the coast (which would cool temps a bit inland too), plus the position of the ridge might end up pushing the warmer temps up north to the LV area. It did turn out to be a nice day today with low humidity and reasonable temps for an early spring day (plus my early lilac is blooming so it made it through the frosts and freezes after budding up during that cold snap). I made it up to 69 for a high after a low of 45. Currently mostly sunny and 68 with dp 33.

Yeah the one thing about fall is that the ground is warm (along with any large bodies of water nearby) so even with chilly cold fronts, the radiation of heat from the ground help neutralize the chill, even during cloudy days. In spring, the ground is still cold (along with those large bodies of water) and you need that sun to help - at least to get some "spot warmth". I got up to 58 today with full sun and some scattered clouds here and there. Currently mostly sunny and 56 with dp 31.
