75F for a low this morning, 74F yesterday morning--heading in the wrong direction! Hopefully today is the last of the ludicrous heat as Redsky would say and tomorrow we start to back down to plain-old-uncalled-for-late-season heat.

Today should be last of it w/temps in the 90s, 80s tomorrow and 70s Friday....grass took a beating, brown spots.

I'm so damn done with Summer....get the kids back in school and some nice fresh air, Fall.

Super breezy....almost windy. 71F / DP 67F

68F / DP 66F

Feels great outside...

Its in the running for hottest august, and the humidity is probably record high

What does hottest "really" mean? 10 days of 90-92F w/DP in the 60s doesn't even come close to temps in the mid-upper 80s BUT DPs in the 75+ range. The "heat wave" criteria thing is a big time joke...

Just plain brutal August, and i thought in mid july looking at the next two weeks long range we had beaten having a really hot summer my bad i cancelled hot summer around the same time in January i call winter lol

 

 

I wouldn't say "brutal"...uncomfortable would be my word. In years past we had 10+ day stretches w/95+ temps ala H-H-H....that's brutal! It hasn't been baking for long periods but it has been tropical for a long time. When I see DPs "drop" to the upper 60s and I'm happy...you know things have sucked. I would just like to clear this crappy air mass out... 

Sun is completely out and it's starting to cook....Wunderground has my DP at 78F and it feels it.

If we can through tomorrow and Friday it's clear sailing from Sat through next week as far as temps are concerned. Some rain/t-storms Friday/Saturday as well...

Yeah - some pretty mean clouds out there.  I may just get sideswiped by the heaviest but Birds may cash in on that.

 

Not really, only received .19"

I'm getting a nice downpour right now w/the line to W moving SE... 

68F / DP 66.....that's the best it's felt outside in quite some time.

Cell moving away into Bucks....totals for the day 1.51".

Downpour now...

Getting some good thunder and some lightning strikes.....mod rain.

Received .74" so far today but I'll probably receive some more later on.

Really want to break out of this pattern for good and enter Fall-mode...

My flood senses are tingling for folks over on the PA side N&W of Philly and regions already hit hard the last month. Radar has that look of training nightmares.

 

Yep, training to my west this morning...

Round 3 going on now.  Light rain and have added another 0.02" in the bucket.  Temp is 71.  The storm motion has continued to push lines to the south.

You may have a round 4 and 5+ still to go? Kind of a wild day.

Skies starting to brighten off to my west. Still dark to my north and east. Rains are light now (< 0.1"/hr).  Totals up to 1.52" for the day so far at post time.  Will see if the blob down in Chester County makes it here intact.  Temp is down to 68 so if anything, the air has stabilized. Smells nice and fresh out there!

Still stuff coming (a bit) and skies still look weird for this time of day...let's see.

Stuff still forming moving up this way....

This is definitely flash flood type rain.  I expect the usual areas in my neighborhood at the bottom of hills, to have some huge puddles.  Rates have dropped off to under 2" in hour but still going ~1.77"/hr.  Totals for the day up to 1.36" so far and still rising (to include the 0.05" from early this morning).  Temp is 71.

Easily...it's almost dark w/super heavy rain.....mid afternoon..

No - just some occasional breezes where I am. A lot of thunder though.

I have some wind but the rain is nuts.....and super dark out. Jezz...it's only 2:20pm. I had to look at my phone....nice nice thunder.

It is a wild looking sky. As I said, I'm right on the edge -- off to my SE it's pitch dark with flashes of lightning, while it looks like the sun is trying to come out just to my west.

It's almost like a "eclipse".

Getting whacked now...

I really can't believe how dark it is outside....

2 minutes ago, Hurricane Agnes said:

Yeah there are some nasty looking clouds that are still to my west.  I'm almost up to 1/4" already.  The sky looks like it's literally almost 8 pm.

You will make out well.

Thunder really starting to intensify here...

Even if I get completely screwed....some of the coolest skies I seen in while.

Dark skies/ low baritone thunder....
