E PA/NJ/DE Fall 2020 OBS Thread

[JTA66]

Our 4th summer month is officially under way.

74F/DP 71

 

[Birds~69]

I'm all in! Screw summer and the death to all mosquitoes and gnats. Critters who make noise but don't bite can stay a little longer.

73F / DP 71

[RedSky]

We are going to have the coolest September in..........................several years. Seriously it's looking like this month may average only 1.5F above normal give or take a few tenths and qualify as a fall month unlike the last two record hot Septembers.

I know I had 1 90F+ since my post on 8/17...maybe 2, not 3. But I think 90+ degree days are done....hail Fall!

Hope it works out better than my declaration the worst of the big heat was behind us in early July 2018

August 1 to October 12 or so of that year was quite possibly the most disgustingly humid period I've ever experienced. The second half of that autumn was mainly below normal afterward, making it quite the contrast.

It was really juicy here this morning (got 0.09" or rain last night after about 9:30 pm) and when the sun finally burst through the clouds, the temps were off to the races after a low of 72.  It did make it to 87 here before the clouds rolled back in again.  Currently overcast and 83 with a dp of 71.

[RedSky]

Mega rain and floody

 

[Birds~69]

A solid 15 min downpour but no thunder/lightning. 

73F / DP 71  Winds from the WNW...DPs should start to drop.  

[RedSky]

Boulder,  Colorado this weekend 96, 97, 88 then 36 Labor day night with thunderstorms and 40 on Tuesday with rain and snow 

 

[Rtd208]

Absolute deluge here.

[Rtd208]

Some of the heaviest rain I have seen in a while.

Picked up 1.49" of rain so far today with most of it coming in the 45 mins to and hour.

[Hurricane Agnes]

I got fringed by that with only 0.06" of rain.  And now it's a steambath at 76 with dp of 75 and steamed-up windows.   The  stronger cold front is still back over the MW.

[Birds~69]

Well, at least Del is getting pounded....

[Rtd208]

Picked up 1.49" of rain for the day here.

[stemwinder]

Came through here at around 9PM and left over 1".  Still muggy, and the insects are singing.  

 

[ChescoWx]

[Newman]

Low of 53 tonight with a dew point of 48? Yes please, bring on Fall

My little rain gauge, carefully placed, measured over 2" when I emptied it today.  

That was a nice little storm (Thursday, around 9PM).  Sorry this is late in posting.

[Hurricane Agnes]

Looks like the cold front is about here as I've finally started seeing dews dropping below 70 sometime after about 1 pm.  Had a bit of patch fog here this morning with a low of 69, and it has been briefly hitting 87 for a high so far today (currently there now), with a dp of 66 and an active mixing breeze.

[ChescoWx]

Low this AM was 55.8 - lowest since the 52.7 on June 16th (think we need to add Phillies and Flyers Playoff pushes to the sub title of this thread)

[Birds~69]

73F / DP 49 ....with bright blue skies and 100% sunshine.

May haul the TV outside tonight for the Flyers game with lows in the 50s and critters being the fans...

[JTA66]

Yep, September feeling like September for a change...77F/DP 47.

I don't think the Flyers have played their A game since the round robin. Tonight would be a good time to bring it!

[Hurricane Agnes]

Had a low of 61 this morning before it bounced back up and eventually hit 79 as a high.  My dp dropped as low as 42 around 1 pm but has generally been in the low 50s much of the rest of the day.  Currently 75 and clear with dp 52.  Definitely an amazing and rare late summer day!

Well, this certainly didn't pan out but the critters were cheering to the end! Pretty sure I heard E-A-G-L-E-S chants by them as I was hauling the TV back into the house? God Bless non biting critters....

65F / DP 53

[ChescoWx]

[ChescoWx]

[Hurricane Agnes]

Ended up with a high of 83 today with a few more clouds, after a low of 60.  Currently 74 with dp creeping up and currently 64, and clear.
