Ok, radar's starting to fill in to my south. Finally. -

Nothing here. It's all forming just to my north. -

97.7°F high IMBY today. This is (literally) not cool. Mid 90's at my work site in southern NJ these past few days, I am DONE with this heat. Sweating though my clothes multiple times per day is something I'd like to really stop doing, please and thank you. -
Hope you all enjoyed "False Fall". I sure am: Next week. "Second Summer": UGH. At least the days are shorter now.

What's a KU?

I'll fill in:

That cell that just missed to my north has some impressive looking rotation in all the scud underneath it. I wish I could toss up a drone and get a better look, but RDG might have unkind words to say to me if I did, lol.

That mid-latitude cyclone currently over Iowa looks particularly impressive on satellite: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=regional-northeast-truecolor-48-0-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined Set to 48 frames and run the slider back and forth to really check it out.

Wow. That happened to us a lot in Chester County. I do not miss it. Apart from the many reasons I don't particularly like living in Reading, our power has been nearly rock-solid here, with only one major outage in the past three years, verses I can't remember how many in Chester County. You could sneeze in our old place in Thorndale and a transformer would blow up somewhere close by.
-
Yes, thanks for asking. The A/C company told us to turn it off at the breaker for ten minutes if this happened again, as a stop-gap until they could come out again. Thankfully it worked this time, but they'll be out here first thing in the morning (again).

Rolling thunder turned into a huge CRACKA-LACKA right over my house. .75" recorded in the bucket. Still lots of rolling thunder as well.
-
Rolling thunder and steady rain here. Ended up with 1.11" for yesterday, already closing in on another half inch in just the past 12 minutes.
-
Indeed! Really enjoying this. Can't have asked for a better August thus far.
-
Yup, getting a real light show up here, and some distant rumbles. Quite the nice late night storm approaching.
-
Southwest edge of that storm near West Chester looks pretty mean.
-
.67" with 1.5"/hr rates. Nice little downpour.
-
I think this needs to be expanded further south and east:
-
Is it me, or does that cell NW of Lebabon have the makings of a couplet?
-
Looks like we could get a cell or two over us pretty soon. 91°F/70DP. AND my @#$!@# A/C is out again. I'm about to lose my shit over this. I'd set up today to be a bread baking and tomato sauce making day. Can't do that without A/C. Mother trucker. MY rye dough is already doing its first rise on the counter. I can barely type right now I'm so seething. Sorry.

One of the Rt 202 intersections in Glen Mills had the stop lights completely ripped off from their mounts on the south-bound lanes. The north-bound lanes had switched to flashing yellows on my drive home, confusing many a motorist. No you idiot, don't stop, proceed with caution through the intersection you absolute dimwits. I swear the level of aptitude required to pass a driving test these days is too damned low.
-
Mom reports from Oxford: "So a massive tree is down where 896 intersects with 841 there is no power from Jennersville to at least Hockessin wires are down on 89" We only got about another 2/3" up here and some pretty gusty winds. We're at nearly 1" for the entire day.
-
Clouded over and getting dark here in Reading. It's juicy out there. Fixed my WU issue--somehow they lost my account and I had to create a new one.
-
Definitely enjoying the cooler start to August this year. We've got .17" in the bucket thus far tonight. Though it seems the recent "maintenance" on WU has broken some things: This really pisses me off. I really need to come up with an offline solution for data-logging.
-
Yeah, huge bust up here. Grilled my chicken though, so that was nice. Can't beat this weather for early August as well, though it's very not normal and I'm just waiting for it to flip back to "moist inferno".
-
Sky looks pretty dark and ominous to my NW. 79.1°F/67.2 DP. Radar doesn't look that great though. I really want to grill tonight, we shall see.
