I’m always glad I no longer live in Center City when it gets hot in the summer… it’s bad enough out in my reaches and we have a lot of trees/greenery here in NW Philly;  but good God,  down there, it’s just all concrete. I remember a brutal heat wave we had over the Fourth of July back in 1999 when I lived there and night time was the worst. The temperature at the Franklin Institute on the Parkway registered an overnight low of 88 one of those evenings.

Couldn't pay me enough to live there

[Birds~69]

This is somewhat promising...

[SouthernNJ]

An area of potentially damaging winds is moving in.  Another area is moving along I-95 towards New Castle county.

[Birds~69]

Really a hit or miss tonight. Individual cells popping up all over...

[JTA66]

Gust front coming through with power flickering.

[JTA66]

And power is now out.  

[Hurricane Agnes]

Fell short of 100 and just touched 99.0 around 3:30 pm.

The incoming blob seems to be falling apart but hope to get some rain to cool the brick, cement, and asphalt!

Currently 90 with dp 75 and lots of nearby convection ,

[RedSky]

Slammed and destroyed

[RedSky]

Power out until at least July 8th

And the storms just started

Same...power loss about 10 minutes.

[RedSky]

Somebody has told me the power company is critically low on components

[Hurricane Agnes]

Rocking and rolling here but no measurable rain yet. Gust front came through and knocked the temp down to 81, dp is 74.

[KamuSnow]

Kinda morphed over and around us - had (2) severe warnings at 9pm, and.aside from some strong winds initially and a few rain drops, not a whole lot here. Still breezy, and plenty of thunder/lightning in the distance (along with all the fireworks). Twmp.dropped to 81, nice!

[JTA66]

My temp is down to 76F, so there’s that.
 

i may as well get drunk, there’s nothing else to do.

249,000 outages in pa 

 

[Hurricane Agnes]

Finally getting some heavier rain.  Have 0.15" in the bucket and temp is down to 73.  

[SouthernNJ]

The strongest winds appeared to occur along the many outflow boundaries put out by the storms this evening.  Unfortunately, these boundaries also caused weakening of convection and less rainfall for some.  The highest number of damage reports were in the western zones where the storms arrived with some daylight remaining.  Currently, the strongest winds are near Pemberton in Burlington county.

[BBasile]

4th Of July Weekend thunderstorms and fireworks.  Looking to add to this over the next couple days... Hopefully.

 

 

[LVLion77]

Not as crazy as last night but a bit more rain at a little over 1/2”.

[JTA66]

Ah, listening to the summertime hum of neighborhood generators while sipping  room-temperature vodka. 72F

[BBasile]

Had a 41 MPH gust with the storms, but still haven't cracked 0.10" of rain.  Temp is down to 72.3F.
