Damage In Tolland

Yup.. exactly . Running a sprinkler merely wets the top soil . Need rain to prevent fert burn . How many lawns have we seen over the years where the landscapers drop fert, and then it doesn’t rain for a week plus and bakes in the high sun angle. By then the damage to the lawn for the summer is done and they are torched and/ or die in many spots. By the same token don’t want an inch in a heavy downpour in 10 minutes . It’s tricky

That doesn’t water in fertilizer .

Just too nervous about getting Steined to drop the fert. Certainly can see how it may storm this week, but can easily be total Stein too . Wringing of hands

Ffffttttttt

By the time this heat wave is in the books on Sunday, every leaf on every species will be out

Congrats Route 2 north today. Steined south

Days and days of 80’s

Mom’s Day weekend here maybe 4-5 years ago had 1” . Think maybe 19 or 20

H to the 3rd wipes out north of Route 2 tomorrow with a significant bow echo

This early in the season with a SW wind favors North and west. Probably NW of BDL or so

Can we spread that down here ?

One of these ain’t like the others..

NAM is better for 90 south. H cubed is congrats 90 north and Stein south

Up to 71 and sunny last few hours. Slightly dewy. Stuff be poppin

One thing we are monitoring is the potential for severe storms during afternoon and evening both Tue and Wed, mainly from 2 PM to 10 PM. Trough axis near eastern Great Lakes should provide sufficient lift to generate scattered showers and thunderstorms to our west both days, and some of this activity could survive the trip into interior southern New England given warm airmass in place and more importantly strong westerly flow aloft. Tue actually looks to be the more interesting day with greatest potential for severe storms roughly along and west of I-91. Guidance shows decent instability (1000-1500 J/kg) Tue afternoon along with rather impressive mid level lapse rates (6-7 C/km) that we don`t see too often here and sufficient 0-6km shear of 35-40kt. This may be enough to bring storms into southern New England during the afternoon and evening with localized wind damage and hail being the main threats. Note both 3km NAM and RRFS are fairly aggressive in depicting a small line of storms moving SE across interior Tue afternoon, though HREF updraft helicities are focused more in western New England and lightning probabilities are in that area as well. However, CSU machine learning guidance does highlight much of interior southern New England with a low severe potential.

Hammer says tomorrow

Severe bangers tomorrow? Hopefully not Stein

GWDLT

And why is that one brick out , just laying there ?

The fact that he would post it online is just mind boggling . Something is not right

Sell

Just assume it shows snow for his yard

Unless you are running sprinklers I’d highly recommend holding off until rain is imminent . Fert sitting on grass for 2 weeks Or more with high sun angle and heat does damage . Trust me .. I’ve learned from experience
