Never had this many days of significant radiational cooling in a row since I’ve moved here in 2015. The conditions have also been so suitable to radiate that we hit the dewpoint before midnight and continue slowly dropping to sunrise. Overnight radiational fog has been a regularity right at the surface. It’s a common desert phenomenon that sustains vegetation; it’s doing wonders for my young grass and grass seed. The vegetation around here generally doesn’t reflect the severe lack of rain thanks to this; it looks more mild to moderate…

The persistent radiational Dewling has been an important crutch for the dryness. Not a replacement but definitely mitigating the effect of drought conditions on the landscapes here.

The 12z NAM just jacked up totals. Now a stripe of 2” through CNE to SE NH

Sun breaking out here.

The Euro AI, EPS and GEFS are also showing significant rain potential for Wednesday. Favors southern/eastern sections. Looks subtropical.

I had some really good success with what I put down two weeks ago. But you’re right, I may reseed today the areas I reseeded already that are coming in a little sparse.

GFS finally caved. Nice region wide soaker incoming.

Guidance has juiced up for a region wide 1”+ potential this weekend.

Eh. The question moreso is why the qpf output on the GFS is so paltry. Everything else on the same run/model points to a good soaking. GFS is selling well on another bone dry day today but dews really spike throughout the day tomorrow into Saturday. Your bias will change probably when the swamp azz returns…

Looks wetter, starting Friday into much of next week. Also appears Lorena in the Eastern pacific will give us an opportunity for tropical remnants middle of next week. I’m thinking for my back yard - just need to make it through next three days with watering and the worst is far behind.

Downsloped to mid 70’s. Zero complaints. Beautiful. Will be near 80 today.

It’s a very low bar but with this line coming through in 30 min should finish as the wettest day of the summer so far.

No severe but a great drink. Wettest week in a month confirmed. Grass looking its best since early may

I’m getting ready for severe. Those cells popping in ASH area are strengthening and are immediately preceded by a period of limited clouds, during peak ISR. Primed.

I’d start packing seeing that. Wayy too early for my mindset.
