73/37 this evening... another top 10.

Dews got as low as 31F this afternoon with 20-30% RH.

Even dews of 50F+ will feel humid when they come back after 3-4 days of Tds in the 30s.

How burned out are the lawns up there?

Jimmy.. You’re back for the June TORCH!!

Did not look at the max-min, but the indoor-outdoor was cooler than yesterday when the other instrument touched 35.  No frost on vehicle roofs, but the max-min is 10 feet lower and blocked from the sun, which had been up for nearly an hour and was hitting those roofs when I ventured outside.

Complaining of a cold May?  Perhaps in rainy SNE locales, but up here it was as nice a May as I can recall, except for those trying to garden in the dust.  Though the morning lows were right on the 20-year average here, daily highs were +5 and 2nd highest of those 20 years.  Available sunshine, measured crudely by adding days I rate as "sunny" to 1/2 of "PC" days, was also #2, and 2 days higher than the warmest May.

SNE was very dry , and warm in May. Far s. Coastal areas had a lot of cloudy days, but everyone roasted . All sites BN precip

Not dry at all to start the month here.  Already 1.40" for the month.  Only had 1.68" all of May.

Dry getting drier 

Drought gonna start running rampant for most of us next few months. Luckily it was a snowy Napril. Cuz May/ June bone dry

I had a huge moth fly in when I opened the door a short while ago. At first I thought it was a bat. The pattern on its wings is gorgeous and the wing span was probably 5-6". Fortunately I was able to get it back out without injuring it. 

I did a Google image search and found that it is a Polyphemus Moth which is the giant silk moth family.  

 

The gypsies are coming. The Redcoats are coming. Hear the drum beats get louder

Good thing its not 96/72 or you would be smelling it for 10 miles in either direction

That’s not far from me. There’s many days on a WnW wind the smell does make it from the farms in Smellington 

We crap

I said a lot of areas should have half inch or more. Seems doable in many areas. 

Epstein is very angry and worried

Radar suggests you soak this morning.

Looks like it just ended. Checked a few wunderground stations in town 

.36 

Mets and models had been advertising a soaking .. Hopefully tomorrow’s storms deliver more

Your LESCO wishes it lived here.

Was afraid of this yesterday. Maybe more from tomorrow's storms/hailers?

Another modeled soaker that ends up turning into .25-.50 for SNE. Not good.

This thing is in in and out by noon

 It will die,  might survive the season .  At least one of every five Oaks defoliated last year is dead . Here's one I took down this morning . 

 

Well this one has been partially eaten the last 3 years. But they haven’t totally defoliated it . It does have some dead branches. Still have a few more weeks of eating to go, but the population is much lower this year in general. I think on this tree the nests were up in the canopy . You’re a tree guy right.. does that partial eaten look now seem enough to kill it?
