89 Degrees, hazy and windy right now.

The storms are approaching quickly. The one over Paoli looks like it's ether going to hit or brush me.

Drove thru it to get to Philly...wow the hail was horrible on I-95 by Bridge street and you couldn't see anything! The hubby IMed me and told me that the lights were flickering and the trees were bending, man it was horrific! But I loved it :D

Hail? I didn't see any reports of hail. I did see huge raindrops though.

Did you report it to the NWS?

Yep soon as I got to work I did, the hail lasted about 2 mins or so, and the rainddrops were HUGE and you couldn't see. This was on I-95 between Cottman & Bridge going south, after I got off on bridge it was just the heavy rain.

Wondering if the Phils are going to play

I hope so, all the momentum from the last two games.

They're on rain delay now.

I hit it just as I was exiting the AC Expressway on the way home from work. Man were the clouds dark!!

If the wildfire area gets the rain that we received and are still receiving, the fire will be out by tomorrow. It really came down for a while.
