The tomatoes got off to a very slow start this season due to all that cloudy/cool weather we had mid May through mid June. They're doing better now and I will get a decent crop, but it appears that it's not gonna be the best season for tomatoes. The thing that's doing the best in my garden is the pole lima beans. They're growing like CRAZY and absolutely loaded with flowers and small pods. This weekend I'm gonna start my romaine lettuce seeds for the fall. -
Yeah I was just gonna mention that we're finally seeing hope on radar. Looks like maybe the backbuilding is ending. Still pouring here but it's breaking up just to the west in Somerset County. I'm a little over 5 inches of rain here now. A moron tried to drive through the flooding, and he had to abandon his car right in front of my house. I hear the loud yelling and cursing right now.

Not just the heavy rain but we have quite a t-storm going on. Lots of lightning and very strong wind. Not as severe as that storm we had the day before the 4th, but it's gusting 40mph. North wind is blowing the rain sideways. Appears we're gonna get inches of rain too ... some of those HRRR runs were right.

I don't want major flooding, but hoping for some heavy rain today because it's so dry out there. I see the latest HRRR (14z) crushes my area with 5 inches of rain, but we know how HRRR is. It moves around from run to run and is wildly inconsistent. Obviously some spots will get very heavy rain amounts today while others get little to nothing. Who knows.

Despite all the humidity with rain chances almost every day, it has become very dry here. I'm having to water the vegetable garden very often now. Tomorrow was advertised as a more active day, but I see HRRR and NAM 3km keep most of the activity to the north and west. I hope we see a downpour, but I'm not very optimistic. -

85 with a dewpoint of 70 here. It's humid out there, but nothing like the tropical steambath that we had when dewpoints were in the high 70s. Looks like very little chance of rain this weekend. Most of the advertised convection for this week didn't really pan out, and we got only about a third of an inch of rain for the entire week here. I'll be watering the vegetable garden today. Hopefully we'll see something on Monday. -

Yeah I saw that cell popping up on radar last night before I went to sleep. I thought it would miss me just a little to the northwest, and that's what happened. I got only 0.23" from last night's steady rain, but at least it was enough to give the garden a watering. -

Storms missing well to the south, but at least it has been a decent batch of steady light to moderate rain. 0.10" here so far and we'll be adding a little more to that. Just enough to water things out there.
