E PA/NJ/DE Summer 2026 Obs/Discussion

[BBasile]

The weather is currently beautiful.  69F and winds gusting into the 20's.   The sky is glowing orange.  Making me long for the days of autumn right now.

0.65 inches of rain. Had a decent period of wind gusts to around 40 mph at the end of the convection, essentially in the wake of it. Quite the wind shift with that as well and a temperature/dew point drop.

I’m pretty sure the actual low pressure probably like 1010 mb passed right overhead here in central Delaware County looking at the cloud and wind vectors visually.

Yeah that is about where much of the guidance had it, plus it was probably convectively enhanced some.

Collegeville had a severe thunderstorm warning and flood warning - by far the main thing seen was very heavy rain.

Have not seen rain that torrential in a long time… and the winds were impressive after the heaviest rain passed. Nice and cool out now this evening… wondering if the worst of the humidity/heat is now passed on for the remainder of the summer?!?! Nothing real hot seems to be popping up in any extended forecasts!

Those winds afterwards reminded me of that exactly, like a nice cold frontal passage with temps dropping and gusty winds.

Best time of the year! I love Sept and Oct… warm days, cool nights. An occasional tropical storm is nice too with nor’easters to follow.

2.1” today. Had multiple trees down in the area blocking roadways probably from the waterlogged soil and the gusty winds as the storms moved out.

Widespread cool 50's overnight with our usual chilly spot in Warwick Township down to 54.4. In most spots it was our chilliest morning since back on July 26th. Below normal temperatures look likely to continue through most of this week with highs mainly in the 70's and lows in the upper 50's to lower 60's. Some shower chances but no washouts around this weekend before we clear out to start the new work week.

Hopefully something destructive happens shortly weather-wise... that's all I'm saying.

Sports brain thinks, Phils creeping in on the Braves, Birds start shortly, LeBron stretching as much as a 41-year-old male can.... Fly-guys jump out early. Good times ahead!!

I ended up with 0.99" from yesterday's rain (and ended up driving through it after I was done helping my niece get moved into her apartment on Temple's campus). I'm now up to 6.47" total of rain for August.

My low was a refreshing 61 (coolest since an unusual 59 back on July 24). High got up to 82.

Currently 74 with dp 65.
