    I'm not no much worried about a frost or freeze once to like 5/10 up here but I have found if you wait a few more weeks beyond that the soils warm up and things just seem to do better. Of course that varies from year to year with the actual weather conditions as to how fast the soils warm. Have found with cool soils things just tend to "sit there" until it really warms up and with cool soils if we hit a wet stretch things have a higher chance of rotting out. The cooler weather crops are a different story but I don't plant much of those these days.

    As they should be...it is mid/late April not mid/late May. Not to mention this "chill" was well advertised. I wait until Memorial Day weekend up this way to do flowers and warmer weather veggies.

    Currently 38 here with steady light rain. High Point coming in at 32.

    Usually favors the Southeast for heavier precipitation but we'll see how it evolves. Either way no more 80's and 90's for a while.

    Picked up .28" rainfall yesterday afternoon in three separate rounds of quick moving but intense downpours. Total over the last 4 days .58". Got lucky in my neighborhood.

    Had torrential downpour about an hour ago but only lasted about 2 minutes. Still numerous clusters of showers / storms over parts of NNJ.

    You should have done pretty good last night right?

    Picked up .06" rainfall with a quick moving t-shower around 10:00 last evening. Places west and NW of here did better with greater than .25". We'll see how much we can add on Sunday. Heat was nice but a bit much for mid April. Looking forward to a cool down but could do without the cold mornings upcoming early next week. On the other hand will be nice to sleep with the windows cracked open again.

    Our area might get lucky with something later on tonight. Further east chances less. Picked up .24” from lasts nights stuff. I did sprinkle the grass seed earlier so I am not overly confident we get anything later.

    Just came in from sitting on the deck. Balmy out! Currently 77 degrees. Crazy. Some flashes of lightning off to the north. A few storms along the NY/NJ border.

    First 90's of the season this afternoon across parts of NJ. Not all that dry either. DP's mainly in the mid 60's across the area. Not muggy by any means but not pleasantly dry. Rainfall over the next week or so generally .5" or less most places. Top soils are dry out this way. Most NNJ locations received just .10" or less yesterday evening.

    Nice outside. Too warm inside. A/C turned on for first time this season on second floor. With sun pouring in the temperature up there was 78 degrees. No thanks. Still cool on the main floor 73 degrees. A very comfortable 68 degrees down in the Man Cave. Pollen season underway with green dust building up on everything. Another reason to keep the windows closed. Beautiful outside though. Low humidity, a nice breeze and temperature 84 down from a high 85. Will be watering the grass seed again this evening. Could use some rain.

    Expecting Red Flag Warnings and some possible brush fires later this week. Rising temperatures, low humidity, some gusty winds and drying fuel.

    What is likely going to be a much warmer than normal April is underway. Can see monthly departures of +3.5 to +4.0 by the time April finishes. Sure hope we can get some rain mid to late month because stream and river flow at least over NW NJ from what I have seen is very low. Not much rainfall in sight next 7-10 days. With the warming and dry conditions coming up fire danger is going to elevate quickly. The short term dryness has eased over the last 6 weeks but long term dryness remains. Early call from me is a warmer summer (JJA) with departures of 1.5 to 2.5 degrees for the season and normal to below normal rainfall overall. Of course local T-Storm activity can push some places to above normal. Overall though I am fully expecting a warmer and drier than normal summer season for most.

    Green dust season will be here soon. Was visiting some friends down in Virginia last week and green dust all over the place. It is coming north.
