Said like someone who’s never been there.

A lot of east winds on the weekend especially in southern sections. Similar weather to last Sunday, it appears. Winners north/east, losers south. I’ll take the San Francisco vibe up here on the coast. Love it.

total rain yesterday and today: DAW: 0.1” PSM: 0.06”

Yea tough look down that way. Saturday night, and Sunday looks okay here.... Best in Maine persistence continues, for late spring weather. Multi-year trend on this.

I’m seeing 101 heat index in Tampa right now. Hard pass. I’m happy with HI below 85. Today is perfect.

2025 Lawns & Gardens Thread. Making Lawns Great Again
jbenedet replied to Damage In Tolland's topic in New England
It’s amazing how second soil temps crack summer levels the crab grass explodes into existence. I’m grateful for the rain, and cooler temps right now. It’s giving my sprouting grass and young lawn a fighting chance. Full Sun and dry for a string of days is especially detrimental for new lawns in June with the peak sun angle. -
2025 Lawns & Gardens Thread. Making Lawns Great Again

It really doesn’t have to be this way; but you guys who want 88+ and endless sun are asking for it. -

Assuming the 12z GFS is correct. A big assumption right now - but that has a great look for strong/severe Sunday afternoon.

It’s mid 60’s, partly to mostly cloudy and a nice breeze here. This is perfect weather for all things outdoors minus water. And water doesn’t really come into the mix until July in our region so if you’re disappointed that’s on you.

Another beautiful spring day. downslope persistence ftw.
-
Wonderful day here. Again. sorry guy GWDLT. Downslope FTW is the theme.

Throw your darts. There isn’t enough initialization data to make such predictions. And where we have good data coverage, it’s accuracy (inherent error) out to month long timescales that bites. We’d all be much better off killing this aspect of the science. Do it for fun; but let’s stop there.

Another nice day. Topped out around 70 with light winds. I think this has been our best May in a while. So comfortable.

Verbatim we are probably looking at 2-5"; (6" locally) of rain collocated with the mountainous areas of the far interior. Berks, southern greens, monads look like hardest hit areas.
