I would think fear of flooding basements is a higher priority to planting vegetables for some?

Not wanting dry weather for weeks or a drought doesn't mean we have to have the other extreme in flooding. We're just talking about a normal 1"/week

Nam is still bone dry for tomorrow. Other models have around a tenth of an inch but shouldn't be a big deal

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.  

Yeah the pollen and bird crap is getting to be a bit much already lol

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. 

And if doesn't rain Wednesday we could be looking at another week of dry weather effectively ending April

where did this storm sneak in from? earlier forecasts had today as sunny

 

I'm not it's reaching the ground. Forecast for cape may is cloudy with no chance of rain

With the rest of the month looking fairly dry we may end up falling below average for April. Certainly didn't seem possible after receiving 3" the first week

I wonder if we've ever had that before in one week? Temperatures (all highs I'm assuming) in every decadal range from the teens to the sixties lol.

 

March 2007 went from a high of 23 to 79 in 1 week

Very typical late April day. 66

But I'm even talking about the pattern in general since last summer.  We get a couple nice days, then pay for it with crap for several days.  Barely used the pool last year because almost every weekend had storms.

Well yeah its been a pretty unprecedented wet year

Always happens.  We just can't break this back and forth pattern.

Pretty typical for April. We won't break out of this for at least a month

This rain event really fizzled

Kids don’t have passports or else a would have gone to Caribbean. Didn’t feel like going to Florida again, so we are driving down to Asheville, Nc and checking out the blue ridge parkway, then up to Hershey 

We did blue ridge parkway in October during peak season. Insane traffic but gorgeous views

Ewr 81. First 80 of the year 

ewr 79

Many/most will be in the 80s today. Already a lot of stations in the low 70s. We’re in the time of year when models underestimate the warmth on days like this in a warm pattern and no strong onshore flow. Break out the shorts. 

73 before 11am. 80 or 81 definitely a lock

Very warm morning. Expecting to hit 80

We might get a third of an inch out of it. Decent batch of moderate rain incoming. 

Most models had well under a tenth 

Yeah raining now and a touch of lightning. Nothing heavy yet 

Line in Hunterdon definitely weakening but could still survive a bit longer

The rain did but the line died

Radar looks nice but guessing it's going to fizzle out

Hrrr looks nothing like the current radar depiction

Meh. My guess is they die out and we get weak showers and some wind
