CAPE

Right now Wed through Friday look spectacular, other than a slight chance of afternoon/evening showers. Upper 60s to low 70s with plenty of sun.

Not complaining about the cool weather. There will be plenty of warm/hot/humid days in the near future. Would be nice to see a dry stretch while its still on the cool side though. 1.7" since Friday night. Rainfall total for May is now 4.3" here.

A cold, wet, miserable day. Stuck inside cleaning. Thank god for DFH 120 min IPA. 52 degrees. 0.80" of rain since last night(underachieved thankfully), and 3.65" for the month. How about a few days of dry and warm(not hot/humid) for a change? eta- despite the rain, we have had some stellar, cool, low dew days mixed in. I guess I prefer this overall to a switch right to warm/hot and humid. Would like to keep the rainfall to below excessive threshold though, as it is directly related to adult mosquito proliferation.

53 here this morning. Only 0.35" overnight. An under-performer. Perfect. Hopefully only another half inch max falls today into tonight.

Extremely nice day. Love it. Upper 60s, cool breeze. Mixture of sun and clouds. I can wait for the rain. Hopefully it holds off until around 11pm here.

This will be the winter where modeled sustained NA blocking will actually verify in real time. Feb looks especially delicious.

2.86" for the month so far. Plenty of rain, but not excessive. Hopefully it stays that way. So far the 2 rounds of larvicide have kept the adult mosquitoes at bay. Too much rain and the woodland wetland won't dry up, and I cant keep dumping pellets in there all summer. Stuff is expensive.

Picked up 0.6" overnight in a torrential downpour.

Thankfully it disintegrated as it moved east. I will be happy to see a maximum of an inch over the next few days.

Looks like we are in for a little rain. Since EJ did his usual Eeyore, its a virtual lock. Widespread heavy rain.

I don't like it. Don't know much about the parent company(Boston Beer Co) but Sam Adams = flavorless, zero character, shit. If they ever discontinue 120 they have lost a loyal customer.

We only see legit HL blocking when its completely useless.

Yeah I will be home early today and hopefully most of tomorrow will be dry. Lots to do outside. Of course there is also a decent chance for a line of t-storms to move through this evening.

Looks like potentially 2 periods of heavy rain for the area from Sat night through Monday. Much needed, lol.

Picked up 0.23".

Meanwhile, its pouring here now. Odd. Wasn't expecting this. eta- thunder too.

I did larvicide, but so far not been bad enough to spray adults. Some are out, but manageable. Probably will have to in the next week, but need a few dry days to make it worth doing.

I left Easton it was 73 and cloudy. At home and its 64 with some showers. Guess I won't be finishing the mowing this evening.

Beautiful out there. 68, sunny, low humidity. Order me up another 100 just like this.

55 here and pouring. Considering I had less than a tenth of an inch of rain for this event when I woke up early this am, the 1.15" currently is pretty impressive. It is also enough. Ready for it to end. eta- looks like the total will be 1.4"

Not really lol. I have plenty of weeds and its futile to try to control them. They grow prolifically. I just have "certain places" I don't want them. Driveway, mulched areas, etc.

Yeah it has really filled in nicely on radar compared to when I made that post. At least there was a break so I got out for an hour to pull weeds. Easy when the soil is saturated.

0.94" here. Stopped for now, but looks like some scattered showers will move back in shortly.

If you mean the chemical, Malathion(Bonide). Instant kill and somewhat more selective than other insecticides- wont kill bees etc. as long you dont spray directly on flowering plants. It does not leave a long lasting residual, but the objective is to kill every adult you can NOW and stunt the next cycle. Just be sure it doesn't rain for a few days for best results. I have a backpack sprayer with a 2-cycle engine. You can use a pump-up garden sprayer if you don't have a lot of vegetation to spray. I am in the woods so I need serious hardware lol.

Deluge here now.
