Remember the insane amount of fires we had during the fall. For a couple months it was just about the driest weather I've ever seen. It was a tinderbox out there. It wasn't a tremendously long drought, but it was a severe one.
-
Had some light to moderate rain -- 0.14" here today. Only 64 degrees right now. Terrible weather, but I will take advantage of it by going for a long fast run. To me that's the only positive about still having weather this cool in June -- being able to run fast instead of having to run slowly in the hot weather. I am looking forward to the summery weather that we're going to have mid to late week though. We should hit low 90s here on Thursday. Too bad it will go back to the dreary east winds weather for Father's Day Weekend.

I got only 0.12" here today. The early afternoon rain was moderate for a little while.
-
It hit 91 here before the clouds moved in. The last 3 days it was 90-91-91 for the high temps, so we did achieve a heat wave here. I see a storm in Somerset County is missing me to the northwest right now. I just heard a rumble way off in the distance. I don't think anything is gonna make it to my area this evening, but keeping an eye on radar in case.

Looks like scattered downpours tomorrow with some spots getting significant rain while others get very little. We had the much-needed drying out period, but now the ground is back to being a little dry again. I watered the vegetable garden for the first time in quite awhile yesterday. I'd like to see a downpour tomorrow.

Had a high temp of 91 here.
-
It's 90 here right now for a 2nd day in a row.
-
I knew it was gonna be very close for my location, and we did touch 90 here. We'll see if we can get a heat wave here. Definitely low 90s tomorrow, but Friday is gonna be close. I say we'll pull it off.
-
Had a high temp of 84 here today. We might hit 90 tomorrow. Today I went up to Swartswood Park in Sussex County to do some hiking. It was absolutely perfect summer weather.
-
High temp of 75 here today. Beautiful day with the low dewpoints and sunshine. Gonna be interesting to see if we can get a heat wave here Wednesday through Friday. Definitely low-mid 90s on Thursday. Wednesday and Friday are going to be close with high temps near 90.
-
0.95" here. I'm glad we're gonna have several dry days starting tomorrow. Looks like we have a shot at 90 Wednesday and Thursday.

Yeah obviously I'm all for getting enough rain for the garden during the spring and summer, but we definitely don't want it to stay wet for too long.As you said, fungal diseases can become a problem when it stays wet for too long. My tomatoes, peppers and eggplants have had some problems with fungal disease in recent years, but I've been spraying them with a biofungicide. It causes the plants to have an immune response and works pretty well. It has significantly reduced fungal disease problems for me. We definitely could use a drying out period after this event tonight into tomorrow. I'm glad we're going to see sunny warm weather next week.

Another good soaking with 0.66" here. I haven't had to water the vegetable garden much lately.
-
0.08" so far this afternoon here. I was wondering if the rain might hold off until late afternoon due to the dry air as the RGEM was showing, but nope. It came in early and has been a wet afternoon. Temp fell to 55 and it feels raw out there. Looks like a good soaking tonight of more than a half inch.
-
Only 58 degrees out there with the light rain coming down. Nasty day.
-
I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend! We're having our cookouts tomorrow and Monday. I'm glad the weather is looking pretty good for both days with temps warming up a little bit. Should see 70 tomorrow and mid 70s on Monday. Today still isn't the greatest with the clouds and cool breeze with high temps only making it to the mid 60s.
-
Good soaking overnight. 1.32" for the event here so far.
-
Heavier rain will happen overnight. We should get at least an inch from this event.
-
Only 51 degrees here right now with light rain. So nasty out there. 0.16" of rain for the day so far. Feels like late March today. I'm going outside shortly for a run, and I'm going to wear gloves lol.

Good luck with your crops. I planted my warm weather vegetables on May 2nd and they're doing great. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, zucchini and pole lima beans are all growing very quickly. I don't expect the cool rainy weather to have a negative impact on them. The cold weather vegetables that I planted in March are producing nicely. I've been picking a ton of lettuce the last few weeks and the broccoli is just about ready to be picked. Again good luck with your garden this year. You said you just planted and sometimes wait until June 1st. In my opinion that's a little bit of a late start. I always plant in the first few days of May and have never had a problem. Frost threats end in late April in our area. The earlier the start the better for the plants. I already have some small tomatoes on my plants now.
-
It sucks that we're going back to early April type of weather for Wednesday and Thursday. It's going to feel miserable with temps only in the low-mid 50s with the rain coming down. But thankfully the bad weather is going to get out of the way in time for the big holiday weekend. That's the most important thing.
-
Over now and yeah ended up with a little more than I was expecting -- 0.58" here. We certainly have had plenty of rain lately. I won't have to water the garden for awhile.
-
Very heavy for a short time here. Now back down to light rain. 0.45" here, and will add a little more. Another nice soaking.
-
Solid moderate rain here. We're probably gonna get somewhere between a quarter and half inch.
-
Hearing thunder to the west now. I know it's supposed to be falling apart as it hits here, but we should at least get a decent amount of rain.
