Good soaking rain today, we really needed it. The thunderstorms have been great but I always think you lose a ton of water when it’s coming down at such heavy rates.
Blessings. Lost a lot of fescue to get here but maybe this will ease the pain a bit.
what are you guys doing these days grass wise? My yard has become a hobby over the years but these past two summers have worn me out with fescue. I have a baby at home and time just really doesn’t allow me to water it correctly and apply the fungicide needed. I can’t do Bermuda thanks to a shady backyard but thinking about Texas Bluegrass (southern hybrid to Kentucky bluegrass).
Hell on earth type of summer unfolding for everyone - even us foothill folks to your west. Glad yall will get some much needed rain this week, just don’t hog it all and be sure to share with the rest of the forum.
Also curious - where does this summer rank for you guys? We’re mid way through July and if next weeks temperatures verify, I’m getting close to crowning this as the worst and hottest summer I’ve seen.
Had a little over a half an inch on Sunday - the most since mid-May. It’s not nearly enough when we’re pushing 100 every single day of the week. My yard dying out sucks but I really feel for the farmers. I don’t think I’ve seen a corn crop look as pitiful as what I’ve seen the past few days in my life.
Plenty of time for this storm. It’s easy to forget it went from PTC to Hurricane in 24 hrs. It’s working with absolute jet fuel ocean water and it looks like it’s becoming stacked again and resisting the surge of dry air. Odds are a cat 1/2 but we’ve seen the RI in the gulf episodes too often to think it doesn’t have a shot at something higher. Hope folks in East Texas are paying attention.
Storms fell apart again. I’ll continue my 4+ week streak of no appreciable rain for another day. Hoping the weather can warm up a bit and maybe we get higher dew points so we can overcome this severe lack of storm fuel.
Beryl could be an entirely different beast in the GOM if it continues its trajectory. It’s looking less and less likely that this thing hits the widest part of the Yucatán. If I’m in Texas, I’m getting a little sweaty this morning.
