Birds~69 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Worked outside today and drank 8 -10 pints of water....didn't urinate once. I was a human puddle all day. Looking forward to some rain tomorrow and cooler temps for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now getting some light rain from that enough to wet the sidewalk and make it steamy. Seeing occasional lightning but it seems like the bulk of the original line was a swing and a mess over the city. A new stronger line looks like it has formed in Montco. Landsdale looks like it is getting nailed from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT - finally getting something more than drizzle. Up to 0.06" so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 It's been a while since I was double smacked w/two pre dawn thunderstorms. Had the first one then a slight lull now the second one is kicking. Really feels like it cooled down as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Kathy Orr last night she said maybe some early morning boomers but for Philly the hours between 11am-1pm the main action as the cold front approaches so you still have hope...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Got a couple more hundredths of an inch from some more sideswipes but this last hit has steamed up the windows. The air is like I'm in a tropical rain forest. Up to 0.08" and 74, with some light drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My temp did drop to 73F but has since rebounded to 75F. Very steamy out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First one: 1.01" Second one: .60 So I'm sitting at 1.61" for the day....anything else today is gravy. It is muggy out but the DP should drop this afternoon. 76F /DP 76F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Sun has been popping in and out here. Temp is up to 79. There's a larger area of rain back over central PA along the front and hopefully I'll get a little more this morning assuming that holds together. Trying to at least hit 0.1" for the day.

It is somewhat large but not too intense at the moment....maybe it'll fire up as it heads E w/all the moisture in the air. A little sun won't hurt either to cook up things.

A little sun won't hurt either to cook up things. May be tricky because we seem to be getting some weak onshore flow out of the east off the ocean (almost like a marine layer). Currently 81 here and overcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Here comes round #2. There doesn't appear to be any lightning associated with these storms -- perhaps just heavy showers this go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 and one more inch. Was lucky too ever so narrowly avoided 2.5" max amounts to my SW and another septic field flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Round 3 has started w/mod to heavy rain falling. No lightning but a small mumble of thunder. It doesn't look intense on radar but will increase the water bucket for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Got about 0.15" early this morning, closing in on 0.25" for the day with these steady showers now. All good for the week with the 1.5" or so we got the other day. At this point what I'm REALLY looking forward to is the cooler less humid weather over the weekend. Just got a ditchwitch to put in about a thousand feet of pipe for our project, and after this week the idea of 80F and less humid makes me smile!
