Small pond near me is at its highest level since I've lived here. (Cattails galore) Grass is very green for late July. Not a stat guy but we have to be at or near normal levels by now? (*Hint: Drought guy chime in?) And tropical season hasn't kicked in yet.

DP still too high for my liking...

Free range corndogs! Yummy!

Picked up 0.58" late last night, July total is 3.79". Not a bad day out there, still a little humid though.

Was fun watching the approach, in the end it's just a nice thundershower, and did a nice job cooling things down a bit. 68F here.

Picked up 0.11" this afternoon from a tshower that went SW of here, could hear the thunder, rained for about 15 minutes. July total is 3.21" so far. Forecast for Saturday sounds real nice.

Hah, yeah, if it lasts until winter smithbridge would be a great sledding hill

Need a rope tow, lol. For right now, every day's a holiday, traffic wise at least

Not sure but I think he's algae bloom guy when it's rainforest weather

 

I'm Fungus guy (lawn fungus, that is), which might be worse. If there's any standing water around here I can be Mosquito guy.

I've been thinking 87 to 93 and humid until early September, in other words the same thing we've been having. Hope not, but most years that's what we do in July and August anyway.

I was doing some cleanup around the kettle fire area this afternoon, and the idea of October weather was very  appealing!

Eta, wound up with 0.57" total rainfall for the weekend, most of it overnight and this morning.

hey kamu check this out

 

Thanks for the heads up! Wonder how long that will last? Since you mentioned it, it is pretty quiet here. I could get used to it, lol.

1.75" for the day here, July total is 2.40" to date.

Picked up a quick 0.58" from the pop ups, looks like further north is getting nailed right now ^.

Final Rain total 3.00" on the button.  That should set the stage pretty well for tomorrow and tomorrow night. 

I figured you got nailed - as mentioned earlier, there were two storms that popped up NE of here and Media was in the midst of both of them. Sorry about the tree and sheds...

Getting some round 2 fringing.  Big blob to my south has been undulating.  Currently getting light rain with 0.69" in the bucket, temp 77 and dp 75.

Talk to me, lol. Congrats on getting some rain! Getting the back edge of some activity popping up just NE of here, two episodes so far. A couple of fairly close lightning strikes, but only about 0.10" of rain so far.

There weren't any PNS reports for Exton from yesterday but there was a "Flash Flood" report in the LSR for there -

Maybe someone estimated and reported the water on the road?

In any case, am currently at my "low" for the day (so far) of 74, with a high deck of cirrus, and dp 73. Got zippo for rain the past couple days and now on day 11 of being rain-less.

Keep that umbrella UP, lol.

Made it to around 92 here in Fleetwood. Some slow moving pop up storms forming over the coastal plain and Philly. Weak steering flow, humid/moist atmosphere, and convective T reached means you get these typical summer time pop ups. Not widespread in nature today

 

On another note, I will finally be moving to Wyoming in less than 3 weeks to continue my education and get my PhD. It's been a pleasure to be apart of the Philly subforum here, I don't think I'll be back east any time soon! But I'll still be posting here occasionally, can't escape your home roots

Congrats, and good luck! Send us snow pics, but don't rub it in too hard, lol.

The thunder has been rumbling for more than three hours now.  Can't sleep because I keep looking out the window.  lol

Yeah it's been like a calmer version of the 3 hour session last week. Off and on showers here, with an occasional flash of lightning and then thunder. Up to 0.43" of rain. Really nice out, 72F, with a little breeze at the moment.

Okay, did get under some yellows and oranges, and just had a lightning strike fairly close. Winding down now. Got 0.20" of rain and the temp is down to a more comfortable 77F, for the moment!

Just now, Birds~69 said:

Seems the heavier stuff is dying off before you or taking a turn S....

Exactly - can't seem to get those yellows and reds to move across rt. 202. It is starting to get a bit breezy though.

Got a severe tstorm warning here, plenty of thunder and lightning, pretty slow moving so far. Rain seems to be on the doorstep.

Nice light show from that cell NE of Doylestown! Gotta be at least 40 miles from here.

The tornado warned storm in Delware during sunset looked quite stunning from Jersey.   

 

It was impressive looking from here too, got about 0.10" of rain from it at least.

These pics are looking 1st SW, then SE (with a faint rainbow), and finally NE. Nice tower!

Never heard that in regards to rain? That's a snow term/phrase...pretty sure it's copyrighted.

Second round looks pretty meh unless it fires up...

72F/DP 68F 

You might be right, I'll check the documentation/handbook. So with that in mind, got a 0.30" topper along with the earlier 0.25", bringing today's total to 0.55", and the month to 9.07". Wowza, from famine to feast!

Received 0.25" from a quick freshener upper.  71F now, steam on the driveway.

Wound up with 3.04" total yesterday, 2.21" from the multiple rounds overnight. June total is now 8.52". Last night was pretty special, and to top it off had a nice lightning bug show around midnight. Good stuff!

Got absolutely robbed today.  

 

Yes, yes you did, lol. Things have a way of balancing out, you'll get your turn, I'm sure.

Wish I could check the rain gauge torrential here since 10:25 pm.  The lightning is just too dangerous to go out.  Seeing 16 thousand plus without power most in Delaware County.  I am understanding that Springfield Delaware County was hit especially hard but it was pretty bad here in Media as well. 

From this round of storms we've gotten about 1.20", so not over the top, but added to earlier we're over 2 inches for the evening.

Looks like two more rounds coming up from the SW towards Media lightning is insane here all directions like a war.  Gotta be a mesoscale low with this.  

Been in a severe tstorm warning for the last hour plus, lol.
