I didn't even manage to hit .2 for the two days. The NNW side of my hill is around 1.25", over an inch difference! Soil moisture is very low in my yard.
-
It tried to clear over me but the really thin clouds were to my east. The light under and across that part of the cloud deck turned yellow/green for a few minutes and some storms fired up and moved off to the NE quickly. It's rumbling and breezy with the occasional windblown raindrop and very muggy. My garden beds are dry 2" down and parched at 4" (again). One the upside I pulled over 5 pounds of potatoes today Gonna plant more now.
-
Just wet or stormy also this afternoon?
-
It barely drizzled but being on the edge of a dynamic front like that is always great for cool cloud formations. This one didn't disappoint.
-
Smoke wasn't bad at all today but the mugginess... Blech. Garden was looking a bit dry this morning so I gave it a good soaking, now it looks like some wetness is headed this way. I hope I wasn't too quick with the hose. How much you wanna bet that rain gets here right after I light the grill? lol
-
I saw 92 in a few spots and 93 once earlier in my travels around northern Westchester and it's smoky, hazy and muggy. Yay Looks like I'm gonna get wet in an hour or so.
-
It's not bad at all so far today, there's some and it's hazy with a light breeze making 83° quite comfortable.
-
It was terrible in central Mass and CT where it banked against N/S ridges. You could see it swirling. My wife said it smelled like burning peat.
-
I got nuthin last night, well, enough to wet the ground and one local wunderground station had .01. Meh...
-
I got some drizzle with one steady heavy rain for 5 minutes. I think the total was .03 or so. For the most part it slid by just north of me. I got a bit more wetness last night too.
-
A strangely wet .03 this morning. I guess that it has been so wet that it doesn't take much at all to be soggy.
-
That northern one got me about 2 minutes after I put dinner on the grill. That sucked. .22" in just a few minutes.
-
I found a shell today and a live one two days ago. The live one was hanging out with some Japanese Beetles on my blackberry bush so I drowned them all.
-
Looks like I did go below 60 but only a half degree below. It's still 65 which is nice. I watered some of the garden this morning for the first time in a while, it probably didn't need it but I had to get the fertilizer in. A bunch of plants were weakening and I think it was because all that rain washed the good stuff in the soil down or diluted it and the plants were struggling.
-
Yuck. The air has a yellow tinge to it this morning. I can't imagine living in a place with terrible air quality like this, places in China and India come to mind. Looks like the next few days are gonna be pretty nice though.
-
You can see it blowing and billowing through open fields. The visibility is still better than some of the days last year but this is a whiter smoke that is more cohesive and forms clouds.
-
Smoky out there today
-
Once that last shower went thru around 2 it cleared up, dried out and got kinda nice.
-
It has been in and out drizzle all day here, the last shower went through around 2.
-
So hot on the beach at Misquamicut yesterday and it's melty warm in Westerly today. Sea breeze? Meh...
-
Feels like summer outside Quite the improvement over the last few days but this is warm enough. lol

Hey @wdrag I know you have some New England experience so... Do you think this makes it to the RI coast as strong as it could be here? We have a two day outdoor festival that we've paid for the booth space and it's rain or shine so I need to know how to prepare. Thanks -
My potatoes were doing better than I've ever had and then the wet... I can't even dig them up to try and save them, it's so wet the skins will just rip. I'm so bummed. So far the tomatoes are ok but my expectations for that to continue are pretty low. Lettuce is gone, peppers are pretty much useless and not producing, beans are slooow and brassiccas are also on their way out prematurely. I hope we get a chance at a second season.

I stayed in the low to mid 70s. It's 71 now.

Soggy...
