hosj III Posted Saturday at 07:09 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:09 PM Intense storm here. Very strong (guessing 58+ mph wind) and hail nearly quarter sized. Best storm of the year. Pouring right now still. Everyone overdoes winds but hard to see how that wasn't severe. I got soaked standing under a covered porch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted Saturday at 07:11 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:11 PM Gust front definitely helped. Rainfall up to 0.64" now. More on the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albedoman Posted Saturday at 07:12 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:12 PM LV swing and a miss strike 3 we are out of t storm chances for today. The 7 10 split lives on. Just incredible outflow boundaries preventing us from getting decent rain. 50 miles on either side of the lv gets 2+ in of rain. This is no longer funny. Another week of no rain and temps near 100 , the little lehigh will go dry in spots. I really see a drought emergency issued by Lehigh County Authority by next weekend. The lawns will be burned if people mow them this week and corn will be spiking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday and today are an unfortunate miss here but the dry region in Berks is getting some. 2.40" the last 8 days the local farmers are happy that saved the corn. Next 7 or 8 days look dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted Saturday at 09:51 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:51 PM Ended up with 0.14" where the heaviest hit SW of me. I have 3.95" for the month so far, so it was not a desperate need for now. Currently overcast and 77 with dp 73. Heard someone on Accuwx earlier today mention triple digits again for later next week . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there is an invisible dome we can't see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadzachadam Posted Saturday at 11:05 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:05 PM Quite a storm in Philly today. Saw some reports of a possible tornado in West Philly and wouldn't be shocked based on the damage I saw driving through West Fairmount Park. Severe tree damage, power was out and several spots were under a foot of water 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted yesterday at 03:47 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:47 AM Total whiff for the lv tonight. Whatever padep or usgs comes up with for drought maps this week, they mean zilch. Let the real drought reports begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted yesterday at 01:16 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:16 PM A great couple of days ahead with temperatures running slightly cooler than average for the dates before a warmup gets underway on Tuesday. Some of our cooler valley spots may see low temperatures in the 50's by tomorrow morning. Our hottest day and best chance for widespread 90's across the County will be Wednesday. We cool a couple of degrees from there to close out the work week. Not much chance of any showers through at least Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted yesterday at 04:28 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:28 PM 83F/DP 64F Mid week heat wave appears to be short lived w/Wed probably being the most intense... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Several of our valley locations this morning saw lows down into the 50's with the ridges remaining in lower 60's. The lowest I could find was 56.3 at the Warwick DEOS. Today will be our 6th below normal temperature day over the last 8 days. We turn that around tomorrow with highs well into the 80's with 90's in the valley spots. Widespread 90's on Wednesday before we back off several degrees by Thursday. So not many spots across Chesco will get to "enjoy" the so called "heat wave" this week. By next weekend we return to near normal temperatures with increasing chances of some showers.

nesussxwx1 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Was busy this weekend so wasn't able to send updates but the storm on Saturday was one of the worst I've seen in a long time. Was stranded on 295-S near Deptford, had to pull over. Hope everyone is safe. Best, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago So cool (at least to me). Over on a local Facebook Page they posted the below article from 1930 about the original trained NWS Cooperative Observer for Coatesville PA - WT Gordon. Mr. Gordon (1888-1930) at that time he was looking to retire from observing the weather... but keep his legacy of accurate weather and climate reporting for Coatesville PA alive. Some of you may not know this but back in 1998 I actually purchased all of the handwritten NWS COOP pages from the NWS for Coatesville 1SW for every month from 1894 through 1948 (I know I am a weather nerd!) At the time this data was not available on the internet so during my many plane trips for work and in my spare time I transcribed by hand each and every day for all of those years into an excel spreadsheet the handwritten daily observations for those 54 years. When that was completed I accessed the data from 1948 through 1998 that was available on line to complete the data set for the NWS COOP stations of Coatesville 1SW (1893-1982) and Coatesville 2W (1983-2007).
