    Yeah obviously it would be much worse in the summer, but it's still annoying for those of us that have gardens. Lots of watering needed as we move through the late part of the growing season.

    Had a low temp of 44 here this morning. Despite the advisory I'm not too worried about frost here tonight, since it's only supposed to get down to the upper 30s. Vegetable plants in the garden should be ok here, but I'd be a little more concerned if I was in northwest NJ.

    Yeah not surprising to see it overperforming today, and that will continue. It's 76 degrees here right now.

    Yeah still going to be a beautiful week with the very low dewpoints and cool nights.

    This week definitely isn't looking as cool as it did a few days ago as far as high temps. Now Thursday looks like the only really cool day with below average high temps in the mid 60s. Every other day our area will be up around 70, and then we go back to temps well up into the 70s on Saturday.

    78 degrees here. Beautiful warm day.

    Looking forward to the cool crisp weather next week with dewpoints in the 30s. It's going to be great weather for bow hunting. I wish we could get some rain though. Hardly anything in sight ... just the round of showers late Sunday night into early Monday morning. Maybe a tenth to a quarter of an inch with that? That might even be generous. Wouldn't be surprising to see that dry up with our area getting less than a tenth of an inch. Lots of watering will continue to be needed as we move through the late part of the growing season.

    Sorry to hear that the fishing hasn't gone well. The easterly flow has been terrible. My tomatoes, peppers and eggplants are in decline too, but they're still producing enough that I care about getting enough rain for them. I also have pole lima beans that are just starting to produce heavily. I picked my biggest amount so far yesterday. Unlike tomatoes, pole lima beans produce heavily late and go extremely strong right up until frost. I also have romaine lettuce for the fall out there and it's producing heavily right now. Since I have a couple things that I expect to keep producing nicely in October, I was happy to finally get a nice rainfall today and I hope we get a decent amount in October. Of course we have flowers and lawns, and trees being stressed which can hurt fall color -- plenty of reasons why we still want rain September into October.

    Some people have vegetable gardens you know.

    0.52" here.
  11. winterwx21
    Usually I wouldn't want a day like this on a Saturday, but we really need the rain.
  12. winterwx21
    Up to 0.27" for the day now, and a decent batch of rain is moving in from the south. Maybe we can get close to a half inch here. I'm very happy that we're finally getting a decent watering.
  13. winterwx21
    0.22" overnight here. Hopefully we'll add onto that later today into tomorrow morning.

    Yeah I mentioned that I had a couple hundred of them stuck on me by the end of my run yesterday. No bites though. They were all dead on me. I guess the sweat kills them quickly. I hope your bites get better quickly.

    18z HRRR has our area getting a half inch to an inch. We pray that it's correct.

    Hands down the worst day I've ever seen for Gnats here.
  17. winterwx21
    Haha. Yeah a few went down my throat. Got a few in my eyes too. Towards the end I was running with my eyes closed to try to avoid them, lol.
  18. winterwx21
    Yeah dewpoint got to 72 here. I went for a run this afternoon and it was the worst ever dealing with Gnats as I was running. By the end of the run I had at least a couple hundred dead Gnats stuck to my face, neck and arms. I couldn't believe it when I looked in the mirror. It looked as if I was made up for Halloween, lol. Worst run EVER. Give me 95 degrees with moderate humidity in the middle of summer over what we have today.

    Wow actually a little rain for a change. 0.08" here so far today, and I'm glad it now appears that we're gonna get some rain from Helene's remnants.
  20. winterwx21
    Brutal. Hopefully they'll be up to the challenge.
  21. winterwx21
    Horrible. The way things look right now, I'll be surprised if we get a tenth of an inch. I'll keep watering.
  22. winterwx21
    Keeping my fingers crossed that we get enough to water things. HRRR and NAM 3km tonight have this area near the edge of the more significant rain. We could get a half inch or almost nothing here.
  23. winterwx21
    Yeah I'm desperate for the vegetable garden to get a drink, even if it isn't a lot of rain. A quarter to half inch would make me happy, which still looks possible for tomorrow into Thursday but we'll see.
  24. winterwx21
    RGEM looks decent too, giving a lot of the area close to a half inch. We're not gonna get the big soaking that we want to end the dry spell, but hopefully it will be enough to give things a decent watering. I'd be happy with .25" to .50".
  25. winterwx21
    Another overperformer today. It's 82 here. We sure wiped out the significant negative departure that we had for the first 10 days of the month.
