sweetapricity/bridgedeck-noaa huggingface dataset:
The combination of the remnants of Tropical Storm Ernnesto and a large high pressure system over eastern Canada produced heavy rain and strong winds in Chester and Delaware Counties. This caused power outages and downed trees. Rain moved into the area around Noon EDT on the 1st and did not exit until around 6 p.m. EDT on the 2nd. The heaviest rain fell during the day on the 2nd.  Storm totals averaged around two inches. The heavy rain produced poor drainage flooding. In addition to the heavy rain, persistent east to northeast winds caused tree damage as the heavy rain loosened the root support and weighed down limbs.  PECO Energy reported about 117,000 of  its southeastern Pennsylvania customers lost power including those within Chester and Delaware Counties.  In Chester County, about 50,000 customers lost power and in Delaware County, baout 18,500 customers lost power. Throughout PECO's service area, about 28,000 customers still did not have power restored as of 2 p.m. EST on the 2nd. In Delaware County, about 50 trees were knocked down and required repairs to about 350 lines. Trees blocked roadways in Haverford Township. In Upper Darby Township, the wind and rain knocked down a 350-year-old oak tree that subsequently damaged garages, a vehicle, pool deck and patio. In Chester County, downed trees closed roads in East Goshen Township.  Actual storm totals included 2.28 inches in Valley Forge (Chester County), 2.14 inches in Exton and West Chester (Chester County), 2.04 inches in Glenmoore (Chester County),1.82 inches in Chadds Ford (Delaware County) and 1.52 inches at East Nantmeal Township (Chester County). Highest wind gusts included 40 mph at the Philadelphia International Airport. The low pressure system that was Ernesto moved slowly north from around Petersburg, Virginia at 5 p.m. EDT on the 1st, to near Fredericksburg, Virginia at 11 p.m. EDT on the 1st, passed close to Washington D.C. at 5 a.m. EDT on the 2nd, near Hagerstown, Maryland at 8 a.m. EDT on the 2nd, near Altoona, Pennsylvania at 2 p.m. EDT on the 2nd and accelerated northward and was just southeast of Buffalo, New York at 2 a.m. EDT on the 3rd. Of greater importance, was a strong high pressure system (greater than 1032 millibars) that remained over southeastern Canada and maintained the pressure gradient (difference) between it and the remnant low of Ernesto.
