Looks like it keeps back building over NW Philly.
-
I was unable to get an accurate total of last night's rain, but I was getting 3.60" rates per hour and it was coming down like that for 30-40 minutes. Ponding in the basement this morning, I've got the dehumidifier running down there. 75F/DP 74.
-
Tacked on another .05" this morning. Looks like another line forming to the west of Agnes and Kamu.
-
Ended up with .77" today, temp down to 73F. Two good storms in two days. Can we make it a hat trick tomorrow?
-
You would think. I'm a little surprised at how unenthusiastic the models are for later today. Doesn't mean they're right, especially when it comes to convection.
-
Ended up with .60". I think this is the first rain I've gotten since Fay. Car windows steamed up, 73F/DP 73 … disgusting!
-
Pretty good storm here, plenty of thunder & lightning. Already picked up .40" with more to come. Temp down to 73F.
-
Agreed, Hale-Bopp is the gold standard I'll measure all comets against. Halley's was a disappointment as was Kohoutek in 1973. I remember looking for it in the backyard as a 6-year old, but I don't think we found it. Still would like to experience a total eclipse (will have to plan a trip for that) and view a supernova.
-
Was under some clouds for a bit that kept temps in check, but now up to 87F as noon approaches. Dipped down to a bone chilling 79F overnight. I did manage to see the comet Saturday evening using an 8" Dobsonian, but I think binoculars would work too. Still no crickets or katydids.
-
You’re both ahead of me. No katydids or crickets here yet. I’m going comet hunting tonight and tomorrow (clear skies permitting), I’ll keep my ears open.
-
I was out in the yard this morning, not bad at all with the high clouds and breeze. Enjoy it while it lasts, incoming summer of azz! 81F/ DP 67
-
Picked up .20" overnight. Despite all the recent rain, the ground is not soggy and my sump pump wells are dry. I'm sure there was a lot of run off on Friday, but just goes to show how dry it's been -- the lawn soaked up the rain like a sponge.
-
I think we have an X-File on our hands.
-
Hearing cicadas this morning and there's a dead mouse on the driveway. Other than that, 78F/DP 66.
-
From what I read, the males don't have stingers. And while the females do, they have no interest in going after people. But yeah, they are vicious looking!
-
Saw my first cicada bee this morning but still haven't heard any cicadas. That sucker is going to starve!
-
3.51" for a total. That should keep the lawn green for another week. Marginal risk today, more storms later?
-
3.36", just some leftover snizzle now.
-
Up to 1.50".
-
Moderate to occasionally heavy rain here. Approaching .50" at noon. Impressive little storm. Makes you wonder what Fay might have been capable of if this were 9/10 instead.
-
Rain shield is on the doorstep. Got a mow in yesterday, so bring on the rains! 75F/ DP 72
-
Tacked on another .13" last evening for a grand total of .15". 68F/DP 67.
-
I'm still at 0.02" for the day, but looks like the first significant blob of the day is about to move in.
-
So parts of Philly picked up more than 4 feet of snow and I got a passing flurry or two.
-
Dark skies, thunder, wind...not a drop of rain! But I did shave off 10 degrees, now down to 83F.
