    75 here. It's nice to be back to warm weather, but too bad it's only gonna last a few days.

    Tapering down to sprinkles as the back edge of the steady rain has passed, and we did indeed pick up .25 here. Not bad.

    Yeah I thought we might only get a tenth of an inch, but radar definitely blossomed a little bit compared to how it looked a couple hours ago. Looks like HRRR is gonna be wrong about our area getting only about a tenth of an inch. Looks like we'll get a solid quarter inch now. At least that'll be enough to give the garden a decent watering.

    Down to 51 now with light rain.

    Just horrible. Yesterday the temps fell to the low 50s during the late afternoon with the very light rain, and today stuck in the low 50s. Probably not even any beneficial rain today either (probably have to wait until thursday). Our area might only get a tenth of an inch today based on the way radar looks right now. Just chilly damp miserable weather. As you pointed out, we likely have to wait a few weeks before we get to consistently warm weather. Typical for our area.

    87 degrees here right now.

    It hit 82 here. Beautiful weather! Perfect weather for planting the warm weather vegetables. Today I planted pole lima beans. Tomorrow I will plant tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and zucchini. I think tomorrow will be another overperformer .... probably upper 80s here.

    Saw some nice lightning in the western sky, but it really weakened as it moved in. Just a moderate shower with a few rumbles here.

    Yeah GFS is much different that CMC and EURO. CMC and EURO are dry for Saturday and don't bring the rain in until early Sunday morning.

    Lee Goldberg pointed out that there were actually more below normal days than above normal days in April. NYC had 17 below normal compared to 13 above, but overall the month was 2 degrees above normal because we had some big torch days. Obviously the above normal days tend to be more impressive than the below normal days.

    Today's Euro says we'll get our first good soaking in awhile on Sunday.

    Made it to 70 here. Not bad for an east winds day. Sun is out and it's a beautiful afternoon.
  13. winterwx21
    Yep I love variety with weather. I love a winter with plenty of warm days but also some big snowstorms.
  14. winterwx21
    Still hanging on to 89 degrees here, but I know it won't last much longer. Should have a pretty good drop here around 5pm. I enjoy a few torch days this time of year, but I wouldn't want it consistently hot this early. May is the big lettuce month, and obviously the lettuce crop wouldn't be as good if it was hot all the time. I can wait until June for the consistent hot weather. I'm glad we're going back to more normal highs in the 60s and 70s after today.

    89 here right now!
  16. winterwx21
    Gotta enjoy it today! Back to the cool east winds the next couple days. At least it appears that there won't be any more cold weather where there would be a threat a frost. I think it's safe to plant the warm weather vegetables like tomatoes now. I'll be doing that Thursday and Friday.
  17. winterwx21
    Had a decent downpour here. Didn't last long but it delivered a quick quarter of an inch of rain. The soil was very dry, so I'm glad we got a watering. Had a high temp of 80. Looking for 87 or 88 tomorrow. We might get another little downpour with the backdoor cold front during the afternoon.

    The thing is though, lettuce is supposed to be planted in late March in this area. If you plant lettuce now, it's way too late of a start since it will be maturing in weather that's too warm. Maybe leaf lettuce is more vulnerable, but I've never had a problem with my romaine lettuce plants taking a frost/freeze. I was just outside and they still look great after last last night's freeze. No problem for the broccoli, peas and radishes as well. I did water very well yesterday. My lettuce is just about ready and I'm gonna pick some today.

    The soil has really dried out here. I'm watering the vegetable garden every other day now. I'd like to see some rain, but as you said it appears the pattern will be dry for quite awhile. A couple chances next week (Tuesday and Friday), but they don't look impressive right now. I hope this isn't gonna be a case of going from one extreme to another after the very wet pattern we had.

    Tomatoes do very well in the heat, but I've found that peppers don't like it too hot. They often slow down during very hot periods in the summer. I usually get my best crop of peppers during the early fall when it has cooled off.
  21. winterwx21
    It hit 72 here today. I knew today would overperform for my area.
  22. winterwx21
    I cut the lawn for the first time this season today, and there was actually some dry dirt flying. Never would have imagined that a couple weeks ago. We were in such a wet pattern with constantly saturated soil. The ground is pretty dry now, and as you said it looks like dry weather moving forward. We definitely needed a good drying out period, but I think a week or so from now it'll be getting to the point that I'll want rain again.
  23. winterwx21
    NWS has upper 60s for my area tomorrow, but we often overperform on sunny days. I wouldn't be surprised to see 70.
  24. winterwx21
    We might hit 70 tomorrow. At least upper 60s. I agree that today is a beautiful day. 63 here right now. Great weather for exercising outside.
  25. winterwx21
    Yeah I cringe when I'm at stores and see tomato plants out this early. I'm sure there was some damage this morning with the temps near freezing.
