What a soaker this has turned out to be
-
I’m closing in on an inch if you can believe it, but I might be the luckiest backyard in 50 miles. Granite Falls got hit by two tiny thundershowers that dumped for about 20 min each + everything in between.
-
Dumping. Praise the lord! .
-
It used to be a near guarantee this time of year to have 2-3 cutoff ULL’s get trapped in the southeast and produce a week straight of light rain and cool weather.

This was a really interesting seasonal update. Would love to know their thinking for such a small max in the Apps, lee and piedmont regions, but I assume they’re counting on a lot of diurnal convection and high elevation initiation. Sign me up. Other than snow, nothing beats a 90° day getting its knees taken out by some drifters off the mountains, leading to a nice rain cooled 75° evening on the porch. .

I get a feeling when we break out of this, we’ll do the polar opposite. Rainfall has been a case of too little or too much the past few years. It’s either bone dry or a flood risk. We really stink at doing it the old fashioned way by having that weekly type of event.

I don’t mean to brag but I recorded .11” of rainfall this morning. I’m now planning to get a lottery ticket when I’m out.

Has the triangle in the jackpot zone so I know that map ain’t accurate

Phase 8 will need to deliver the goods
-
It’s coming. It’s just a question of how much fescue you’ll lose between now and then.
-
It’ll break down Memorial Day weekend. Like clockwork, always does!!

Saw a lot of commentary online criticizing them for it too. People have no clue how hard it is to get any grass looking healthy in a drought with Georgia heat, let alone bentgrass greens. I agree, irrigation helps to a degree but it can’t replace the type of soaking that rain delivers.
-
I’ve went into my full July irrigation schedule here. Even with it, this is probably the worst the lawn has looked in April in years. I have Texas Bluegrass that spreads with rhizomes like Bermuda and its repairing ability has completely stalled out these past few weeks.

Probably the first time I’ve seen the clay cracking in April
-
The forests in the western half of NC are littered with dried debris from Helene. It’s a powder keg and I’m afraid one cigarette flung out of a window could cause a disaster.
-
.37 is my total. A bit disappointing but I’ll take whatever we can get.

Yes, you’re welcome in advance: https://weather.com/retro/ .

Nothing like watching a robust cell dissolve in 2 frames, just 1 mile from your house after it survived a 2 county trek .
-
I’ll jump on the big yikes bandwagon. It’s been so dry that even a week into restarting my irrigation on the lawn, it’s still dormant for the most part and in mid winter form.
-
30 here…thinking that may be the last sub freezing reading of the season. What do yall think?
-
Hoping tonight delivers at least a few light showers. My sinuses are getting whipped worse than ever.
-
30.7° at 10 am is just flat out impressive for this time of year
-
It’s impressive how bad the gfs performed coming into winter, then it woke up from coma swinging with brass knuckles.
-
The line just moved through my neck of the woods. No lightning, heavy rain and maybe a few gusts to around 30mph. It’s definitely getting its act together as it marches east though. A lot of Charlotte cams showing the same clearing I saw earlier. What are you folks seeing further east?
-
Yall are going to get smoked later! Enjoy fellas.
