Hurricane Agnes

Wow. A little line just erupted out of nowhere over the city. Currently windy with rain and 64 with dp 61.

Mt. Holly (Watch coverage) - Not sure how unstable it will be here because at least where I am, the sun never came out... but I did touch 70 earlier (just before 2:30 pm). It's currently overcast and 68 with dp 60.

And the earlier rare "Enhanced Risk" for just west of Philly metro -

SPC has the Severe Thunderstorm Watches up -

SPC just lofted a Watch -

WPC has us hashed for severe - (their 8 am forecast which seemed to have shown the warm front moving a little faster than what actually happened this morning so far)

Could even calculate how fast that warm front was lifting between the 2 latitudes! Took about 3.5 hours to get from where I am and up over you. (I know that is geeky ) It's currently overcast and 66 with dp a juicy 60.

Wow. You can tell when the warm front got shunted up over this area because my temp suddenly shot up before 7 am. The low temp here was 45 just before 6:30 am and now the temp is up to 63 at post time. Although there is nothing on radar over me (the band is way out west), it's overcast and the sidewalk is wet - probably due to the dp that shot up from a low of 34 earlier this morning just prior to the lifting of the warm front, to a current dp of 58.

Some progged timing by Mt. Holly on the storms today -

That disturbance that passed through earlier gave me some non-measurable light rain and was gone in a flash. After bottoming out at 27 this morning, so far my high has been 47 today, with it mostly cloudy much of the early afternoon until the precip passed and the sky cleared. I know they have forecast non-diurnal temps overnight so depending on how that goes, I might end up with a high for today just before midnight. Currently mostly sunny and 47 with dp up to 22 now after a dry 12 earlier this morning.

I remember when they first did that color change and insisted the color was "teal". They apparently later decided to just call it "midnight green". Still have to wait but hopefully they will get it right.

Kelly Green is back next year (as an alternate)! Woot! https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2022/3/29/23002155/kelly-green-eagles-alternate-jerseys-helmet-black-philadelphia-nfl-news-jeffrey-lurie-uniform-rules I still have an old shirt and cap from the early '90s with the earlier color and logo. IMHO the design of the current "wings" on the helmet can stay though (better articulated).

Just read in Mt. Holly's AFD and noting that SPC's SWDY2 has gotten a bit more bullish putting much of the CWA in the Slight Risk for severe -

I heard a number of vehicles had pretty much exploded and they were still trying to ascertain casualties. As an obs, I made it up to 39 today as a high and it's currently partly sunny and about 10 minutes from sunset, and 38 with dp 11.

SPC SWDY3 has the CWA in Marginal Risk but the southern portions in Slight Risk -

Bottomed out at 23 this morning with my lowest dp at 7. Am currently partly cloudy and 36 with dp 12.

Had a pile of flizzards, squalls, and quick snow showers - but mostly later in the afternoon. Looks like the lake effect machine has been turned off now. Currently 26 with dp back down into the single digits here at 5 and falling fairly rapidly.

RER tweet from Mt. Holly -

And another flizzard blob overhead. Temp down to 25 with dp 18. Also had a bunch of RERs today for coldest max for the date (Philly may have just missed it or tied it last I checked) -

And getting some more although the sun is out too... Temp 27 dp 15.

And another flizzard has appeared. Temp 28 dp 15.

EAS issued over me...

Getting another flizzard. Temp 29 with dp 11.

New Snow Squall Warning issued south of me across the western 'burbs and through west/central Philly and into Jersey - Sun back out here and temp back up to 31 with d 11.

Took all day but am finally getting a flizzard with blowing snow. Temp is 28 and dp 12.
