No rain for me up here unless more of a north trend. We just took a 8 mile bike ride. Many small trees have drooping leaves. Not turning color just drooping or even turning brown on some small trees.
Few musings...
After furiously watering the lawn all summer I gave up a couple of days ago. I can water an area for an hour and then I dig down 1/2" and it's rock hard. The ground is so dry below the surface that watering doesn't do much good especially with a large lawn with a well. Not going to push it anymore.
Interesting to see the Colorado snow maps. After days of 90's I wonder how much can accumulate on grass? The soil must have so much residual heat. If Denver can get 7" that really cancels out the "ground is still too warm for the snow to stick theory". I never gave much credence to that anyhow.
Okay, back to endless boring,nice weather. Next interesting thing to watch is if "Sally" can sneak under the ridge next week and threaten the US. Love to get some tropical rain up here.
Interesting picture. This one was taken from a jet. At first it seemed odd the pyrocumulous didn't match up to the fire but this shows the same thing. Probably the same anvil and fire.
937mb. Port Arthur is going to take a beating. Wonder if heating oil is produced there? Maybe time to quickly fill up the oil tanks before prices go up the next few days??
84/66
Line of storms approaching. This should be the first solid hit of summer. Really looking forward to the rain.
Webcam should be interesting to watch

I'll be happy with my 2". I hope this is not a week of everything sliding NW to SE just north of me so I can smell the rain at times without receiving a drop
"either way, this may as well be black-and-white, wan-drawn couple of faces making eggs in a struggling economic kitchen, while an off-set homaged cigarette smoking clown sits behind them"
This is pure TT language. Love it
I'm seeing bears more frequently. When we moved here full time in 2001 we never saw bears. Now they seem to be everywhere around Newfound Lake.
Summer's back isn't broken just yet. Very warm evening but yet I can tell by the lowering sun angle that the seasons are changing.
Conditions remain very dry here. Other than the last week in June there has not been much rain since April. 2.51" was my July total and so far in August .65" I really wish Isaias had past east.
Isaias high wind gust here 42mph and rain total .40" Even a 42mph gust was enough to knock out power for 24 hours.
I think Isaias now warrants it's own thread. Just made one up. Could be an over achiever really getting it's act together this afternoon. Why don't we take conversation over there.
As I say over and over on this board, Im not Met but to me Isaias really look like he is getting his act together. Sat Vis looks impressive and radar showing wrapping around the center. Perhaps this is going to go through a brief period of pretty rapid deepening? This is sure not a naked swirl coming up the coast. I wonder if this is going to be an overachiever? So many SNE storms go SE of us but a storm accelerating north up the coast and going just west on this track will surprise some. I think this will be a big overachiever and I don't usually say that.
Really clean tropical air in NNE this morning. I have great visibility, stiff south wind here on the hill. 75/65F. I always like airmasses before a TC that goes just west. Filled up geny with gas just in case. I could see some 45mph gusts on my hill. Need the rain, not the wind
Isaias is starting to look better to me. Deep convection is wrapping around the eye feature. Still moving slight west of north but the turn soon to help with shear. Recon had pressure at 1001 and now back down a bit to 1000.
