As I said, I'm right on the edge -- off to my SE it's pitch dark with flashes of lightning, while it looks like the sun is trying to come out just to my west. It's almost like a "eclipse".

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 This is definitely flash flood type rain. I expect the usual areas in my neighborhood at the bottom of hills, to have some huge puddles. Rates have dropped off to under 2" in hour but still going ~1.77"/hr. Totals for the day up to 1.36" so far and still rising (to include the 0.05" from early this morning). Temp is 71. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Skies starting to brighten off to my west. Still dark to my north and east. Rains are light now (< 0.1"/hr). Totals up to 1.52" for the day so far at post time. Will see if the blob down in Chester County makes it here intact. Temp is down to 68 so if anything, the air has stabilized. Smells nice and fresh out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain has stopped (sun peeping out) here but I may get side-swiped by that stuff down in Chester County. The storms have started generally moving SW --> NE. Don't know if the stuff north of here is going to push down any further unless the front moves or wobbles (which is possible). The sky still looks pretty nasty to the NE. Finished up with 1.47" with that round and have the total of 1.52" for the day so far w/temp @ 68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storm motion has started to shift with those northernmost lines of cells and they have started pushing down from NW --> SE. The southernmost lines are still moving SW --> NE. It's gotten dark here again (rain stopped so the 0.03" round 2 was it), so I may be sideswiped by both sets. 11 minutes ago, RedSky said: Flood advisories etc on radar looks like a big tetris Yet it continues to not rain here lol That's a perfect description. lol Some of those are flash flood warnings and the others are flood advisories. Hope you can catch a break though! Since the day is about over, the high today did manage to make it to 84 just after noon. It's been hovering in the upper 60s/low 70s most of the rest of the afternoon however. Currently 72 and darkly overcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this is progged to go on like this all weekend. lol It's wild to watch an animation of the radar and storm movements - literally wavering back and forth. Got 0.06" additional & current daily total is 1.61" now. It's also gotten a bit steamy believe it or not. The windows have started fogging up.

KamuSnow Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Have had a series of showers here off and on since noon or so, roughly 1/4" with each batch. Up to 1.04" on the day including very early this morning. 72F here currently with some leftover light rain. Not bad out at all, plenty of katydids and crickets doing their thing.

JTA66 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Would it kill the weather gods to send a cold front through to break the humidity for a few days? My mold has mildew growing on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Well... Have been watching what almost looked like some sort of seabreeze front moving in from the east across Jersey and noted storms firing up along it. It finally made it over here to PA and I had been hearing thunder on and off for the past half hour. As soon as that feature reached here, a cool breeze arrived (I was sitting outside watching the dark clouds roll in), it looked almost like it slammed into the ridge of hills here, and fired up some storms. Nothing severe but so far got 0.09" out of it at post time. The heaviest looks to be a few miles to my SW and this storm is moving to the WNW. Temp down to 77 (had a high of 83 today). Edit to add - I just stepped outside briefly and the humidity hadn't been too bad earlier but now it is a steam bath. Windows fogging up too!

RedSky Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Kinda serious question here - is it ever going to rain and storm again or is this an infinity drought. Guidance output was 2-2.5" this weekend and received about .15" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
