Picked up a quick 0.25" from that pop up shower, saw a couple of lightning flashes off to the N.E. just now. In a lull but more appears to be incoming. Looks like some heavy hitters well to the north (rainfall wise at least).

Getting a pretty heavy shower here now. 73F.

Got a 10 minute light shower from a fading t'shower, cooled things off for a few minutes. High here was 92F earlier.

Hmmm a dry heat there, I bet it feels cooler in Africa 

 

Especially at night, in the Sahara anyway.

it's the humidity 

 

It sure is!

94F was the high here, 88F currently. Plenty muggy.

Another round of showers coming through to add to my daily total.  Getting a gully washer at the moment.  Temp is 78.

When I was coming back from a store yesterday, I saw someone's front yard covered with large mushrooms.

ETA getting >2"/hr rates. Up to 0.64" as of edit time.

Lol I wonder if they're edible. Probably not. There have been a few showers here passing through or nearby, mostly glancing blows. 0.63" so far for the day.

Wow.   Got a teaser 0.01" earlier but the heaviest is still to the SW of me.  It just started with some more serious ready..set...go stuff now.  Huge drops.

Yeah the radar still looks pretty healthy up your way and in N.J. Blue sky to the west getting ready to move overhead here. Maybe.

Mt. Holly has an SPS up for the line.  I just put my umbrella down on the patio.  Looks like it may be a fast mover though.

That it is, picked up 0.47" of rain from it, and at the moment it's a relatively comfortable 73F here (DP 72).

I think this is incoming here soon.  Sortof blew up out of nowhere!  Temp up to 85 here now.

Some pretty vigorous activity with this line moving through here now, some wind, heavy rain, and a whole lot of lightning.

Getting some showers and rumbles of thunder here now.

Just had a quick pop up shower here - I thought it was wind at first then realized it was a wall of rain coming.

Bad decision 

Lol, could have been. Wound up with a few hundredths and a lot of lightning off to the north, could have been a lot worse.

Happened to me years back....screwed up/shorted out my power window switch. Ebay $50.

This humid stuff is really starting to piss me off...

Makes me look forward to October!

I'm shocked at how today's wet forecast has dried out

 

I opened up some ditch today and decided to leave it open overnite without putting the pipe in and back-filling. Some of it leads up to downspouts, lol. I made this decision partly out of being beat, and partly due to the radar/models, seems as though most of the precip should be to our west overnite. So this a test - Murphy's law says it should rain, lol.

For those of you with Direct TV - the Accuweather Network is now on air 24 hours a day. This change took place today Aug 1st.  (I'm a little partial as my son, is one of their on air meteorologists.)  They have made some significant changes with much more live coverage and several new severe weather reporters running all over the country to cover big weather events. He is from Montgomery  County,  Pa and loves severe and winter weather reporting.

Don't have Direct TV, but that's awesome! Good for him! (and you!).

Just checked the point & click forecast for here and suddenly there is no rain in the forecast for the next 7 days. Checked nearby and same thing. Lol, got to be an error. Radar looks pretty good for some showers overnight.

Eta: the rain is back in the forecast...

Hearing an owl here pretty much every night for the last week. Goes well with the Katydids and crickets. 67F currently.

63 for the low here overnight, 68F currently. Nice change, even if only for a day or two....

We know that Summer is well under way when the katydids are yakking away.

And fall can't be too far away when the crickets are having their say.

Had a thundershower here, more lightning and thunder in the hour before it got here, then weakened on the doorstep. Got 0.25" of rain. Looking forward to drying out a bit this weekend.

Should have some storms later, possibly severe.

78F here, DP 76. Ugh!

Models say that stuff in central PA should die off before reaching us. We'll see...

It does look interesting, but I just looked at the HRRR and yeah. Otherwise it looked like a potential interesting merger with what's been moving up from the south.

Picked up 0.75" additional in about 40 minutes from that last batch. 5 day total is 5.85", it's been spread out enough so that the biggest impact here (so far) is putting our project on the back burner for a few days. All the water piping and conduit was in as of last Friday, still have some drainage to do along with lawn rehab, lol. The second pic partially shows a trenched area we seeded a week ago, with the frost blanket hopefully protecting the seed from getting washed away. We peeked and yes there is grass under there .

Getting some showers of varying intensity, breeze picking up a bit. Currently 77F, with about 0.12" of new rain in the last half hour.
