Dew point 50 ! Exceptional

73/68 currently here. Dew point up a little this AM., can feel the difference, but cooler weather is on the way.

My lawn was green, but leaf spot and brown patch came to visit. I heard from many lawn pros it is rampant in the NE this summer from excessive cloud cover, warm nights, excessive rain and high dew points. A lot of triggers for disease pressure and various lawn diseases.

55/58 here. Best news is I see the sun. Glorious!

Is it brown turkey fig tree ?

Wow, those waves are huge. Bigger than what I observed in Dewey. Maybe because of the more gradual drop off at the the Wildwood's beaches , versus the crazy drop off at Dewey.

We are approaching high tide at Dewey Beach and despite the storm moving away, the waves to me are the worst they've been to this point. Huge breakers rolling in and have reached the dune and walkways.

Yes, I noticed that on the beach with blowing sand. Please take a video and post it if you can.

Tim Kent • Today https://www.surfline.com/surf-report/rambler-road/5842041f4e65fad6a7708b60?referral=msw&view=table https://northwildwood.com/north-wildwood-surf-cams/ Solid surf approaching 2x overhead+. Winds are unfavorable locally and most breaks are overloaded. Solid well overhead surf this morning with onshore NE winds and trashed conditions. Only doable at the sheltered/novelty spots. The big issue is that it looks like we'll see strong onshore NE winds throughout the day, meaning conditions will be choppy and very challenging. A expert only day anyway, and most breaks won't be worth the risk/reward. UPDATE: OBX, NJ See Erin’s Windy Side https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=PHI&issuedby=PHI&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off MARINE... Tropical Storm Warnings are in effect for the waters offshore Manasquan Inlet to Fenwick Island through tonight with a Gale Warning in effect for the waters offshore Sandy Hook to Manasquan Inlet through tonight. For the lower Delaware Bay, a Gale Warning is in effect through midnight tonight. For the upper Delaware Bay, a Small Craft Advisory is in effect through tonight. Northeast winds continue to steadily increase today as Hurricane Erin approaches with sustained winds between 25-35 kt expected. Wind gusts upwards of 40-45 kt are expected on the Atlantic coastal waters with gusts upwards of 30-40 kt expected on the Delaware Bay before gradually diminishing overnight. Occasional showers possible across all waters which may cause locally higher gusts. Seas of 8-12 feet this morning will steadily build up to 12-17 feet this afternoon before gradually beginning to abate tonight for the Atlantic coastal waters. Rough and choppy waters are expected on the Delaware Bay.

I had a house on 14th Street North. Wildwood would go down there when I was 5 years old. It was always so much fun and still do now but don't have a home there any longer. I can imagine the areas that flood are probably in pretty bad shape right now thinking West Wildwood and that bridge area and back Bay areas. The video camera at 15th and surf avenue at the lifeguard station shows a pretty wild situation with huge seas, very choppy conditions and high winds. Was a crummy week at Dewey but looking forward to some more day trips in September to the beach as the ocean remains warm and there should be some days with offshore winds for good surfing.

Rather impressive.

Oh my Current Surf Conditions Local time:11:42am, EDT (UTC-4) Condition Rating Forecaster·39 mins ago POOR Surf Height 6-10FT Observed Head to 2x overhead https://northwildwood.com/north-wildwood-surf-cams/

First time in while when looking at https://www.greencastonline.com/tools/soil-moisture my current soil moisture is above 5 year and 10 year averages, while my current soil temp is below 5 year and 10 year averages. I believe to overseed a cool season lawn you want a 5 day average soil temp of 70 degrees or lower. Still waiting until Sept to do any lawn overseeding projects, but at least the medium trend is positive for lawn health in areas of the forum where rain has fallen.

Talking early in the week when Monday and Tuesday were cloudy and wet at the beach with mostly cloudy skies and mist. Areas back home had sun in Northern De., and PA was mostly sunny. The front stalled, more onshore flow and what was forecasted as sunny turned into cloudy conditions for the Southern areas. Erin's impact on Dewey's weather was more mid to late week. Today being the worse of the last four days here. I need more orange crushes today.

Last week the forecast was for sunny weather for multiple days in a row despite any effects from Erin. This week at Dewey has been nasty. Constant cloud cover, mist, high winds, high waves. It has been a record in terms of high humidity and high dew points both nationally and globally.

There are some signals that December can be a cold month here due to a weaker early season PV, displaced SE PV, and as you mentioned, a -QBO.

My favorite spot. Fri or Sat AM with North winds and excellent surf. Be safe .

A wet, ocean spray day at Dewey today. Forecast of sun from earlier in the week sadly incorrect in this summer of clouds and rain. Surf zone with 3 to 4 foot waves, Thursday is the day for peak surf.

.35 here. Good storm.

That complex that was moving SE from Lancaster, PA. is now turned more Southerly and dropping almost due South. It is now warned for the extreme Northern part of the Chessy and the Elk Neck State Park and other areas in the Northeast part of the Eastern Shore,

Big storms to my far NW, and radar shows a outflow boundary moving South, hmm.

Very oppressive today. 91/73 presently, but feels much worse. Going to Dewey Beach tomorrow, yee ha !!!!! Should I bring a body board ?
