100% violets. If you want to mitigate them without harsh chemicals, try removing all the mulch, put down a dense layer of newspaper, then 3 to 4 inches of mulch. It will work well for a year or two.
Going back to 2000 within the LWX CWA, the highest number of tornado years are ones with a landfalling tropical cyclone. The exception to that rule was 2012 when we had two "big" events.
I made a point of mowing my lawn last Saturday in between the rain. I was fortunate to have a few hours of sun to dry everything out. Had I not done that, I would have been in the same situation as you.
Despite a soaker on Friday, my lawn was pretty darn dry when I cut it today. Amazing to see how quick soil moisture gets sucked up when we have full leafout.
Well said. We have two big players in our favor:
1.) Dynamic neutral to negative tilted low racing to our NW.
2.) Short wave rotating around the base of the low.
The dynamics are there, question is whether we can get a few hours of sun to mix things up.
