Hurricane Agnes

It's 20 minutes after sunset, so it's dark, and the robins (and other songbirds) are having a concert. Down to 62 with dp 62.

Ended up woth 0.29" total rain for the day. The high made it to 78. Currently recovered to 63 with dp 63.

Done. My Upper Darby sis texted a pic of a (smaller) downy woodpecker. I guess they are all out. Did hear one around here a few weeks ago but not recently. Am used to seeing the pilated ones up in a tree!

Still raining while sun is out and rainbow is rainbowing. Temp holding at 62 with dp 61.

Sun out in the west, rain moving off to the east, and a nice rainbow has appeared as expected!

Sky starting to brighten in the west as the back edge approaches. Have 0.28", at one point with as much as 0.75" - 1"/hr rates.

Only getting a little random thunder here but apparently the cloud-to-cloud has been active. Temp has dropped down to 62 with dp 60. Have 0.22" total in the bucket (including the 0.01" from earlier this morning).

Just north of me is getting nailed. Temp down to 63 with dp 60.

Pea-sized hail flying here!

On my doorstep and lightning detector is going nuts but am not hearing any thunder.

The cold front air is oozing in and it's getting gusty. Not quite at "gust front" strength although it approached like that. Currently 74 with dp 61 and dropping now.

Got convection popping up on the detector.

Got a solid line going with the sun. It's clouding up here but the sun still wants to push through. Temp is 76 with dp 64.

Mt. Holly has a STS up -

That is the CC (correlation coefficient).

This was Mt. Holly's updated Watch - And an updated view of S/W Watches to include Sterling sites and Mt. Holly extensions -

The front is sortof creeping along but it is cooler behind it. One of my sisters just texted and asked "What happened to all the rain and thunderstorms and tornadoes?????" She had pushed herself doing some outdoor weeding and other stuff in prep for the rain. Temps were in the 50s back behind the front (from a couple hours ago).

This is the longest the sun has been out here today so far, and it shot the temp up to 78, with dp still juicy at 68. Looks to be more clouds to the N/E and just a few to the S/W.

Getting the infamous "self-destruct sunshine" that destabilizes things, generates the clouds, produces the little pop up showers, drops the temp some and stabilizes the air. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. So far I've gotten up to 77 for a high, but with sun gone again, and 0.01" of rain (so far), temp dropped down to 72. Have crept up to 73 at post time. The dp of 69 is rough though!

Norman, OK up with the Severe Thunderstorm Watch -

There's a bunch of pop-ups and my lightning detector picked up a couple hits just before noon. The sun has not made an appearance until briefly just after noon here today and that had kept the temps in the upper 60s until the sun popped out and shot the temp up to where it is now at 76, with dp 70 (and you can feel it ). Have had some non-measurable drizzle about an hour ago enough to wet the walk and add the soup to the air.

I heard a robin still going at it at 8:22 pm last night well after the sun had set. One just started up here right now at post time (4:52 am). Made it up to 78 yesterday and of course there was a layer of clouds blurring the moon here. Have spotted it this morning as it's low in the SW sky starting to set but with some scattered clouds in that direction (and still have the high cloud deck still in the NE). Currently partly cloudy and 63 with dp 63. SPC SWDY1 holding with the Enhanced Risk for the entire CWA (except coastal NJ, which is under a Slight Risk).

Was about to post that. We don't see this that often but I suppose it's the time of year! Currently 64 with dp 64 and misty but don't have as much low stratus as this time yesterday (and am not seeing any fog) here. Ended up with 0.29" of rain yesterday.

SPC has the N & W parts of the CWA SWDY2 penciled in for "marginal risk" - Managed to make it up to 70 as a high today (so far) just after noon and it's currently raining lightly (0.24" in the bucket), 67, with dp 67.
