Everything here is dying already, you name it, bushes, all the landscape plants bloomed and then the buds froze. Pretty shitty. Fig tree not good - between no soil moisture and up and down temps, freezes and frost have taken its toll.

Don't think I have ever seen this ob in my entire life at this location. Totally crazy......... humidity at a single digit. 7% !!! Everything drying up and dying here. Current conditions at Wilmington Airport (KILG) Lat: 39.67°NLon: 75.61°WElev: 72ft.

First Spring in a long time where the late freezes/frosts have killed buds on red mini maples, and many of my landscape plants. Also, noticed the lawn is going dormant already in spots. MY Crape Myrtle is also in bad shape, many buds were lost, I still don't see any new leaves, plus there is drought stress too.

Looks to have gotten worse overnight

Looks improved for the NE areas ( NE MD and Northern De )

I would love .45 fingers crossed

They have been overly bullish the last few events. They were calling for up to 1.5 inches of rain. Now it's only .25 to .50 here. I think closer to .25 unless the a heavy cell or thunderstorm moves close by.

WPC nailed it again.

Yep, even the 7 day looks way less impressive

WPC seems to believe days 4, 5, 6 and 7 rainfall all mostly miss to our South. Typical .

Mount Holly AFD KEY MESSAGE 2...Additional chances for much-needed rain arrive during the middle of this week. A brief period of high pressure on Monday, potentially lingering into Tuesday. A weak frontal boundary then approaches the region late Tuesday, bringing a chance for light rain. The chances for meaningful rainfall with this system appear to be decreasing with high pressure staying close by and the frontal boundary largely washing out across the region. Another stronger low is still expected to arrive late Wednesday into early Thursday that is expected to bring more widespread showers and perhaps an isolated thunderstorm across the region.

Have ordered blight resistant tomatoes arriving in May from Burpee, they did great last year. Less yellowing/curling of the leaves.

Rainfall total forecasting just as bad as snowfall forecasting in the winter. Can't complain too much here with .43 last 24 hours. WPC did better than Mount Holly with QPF forecasts.

As usual the highest rainfall totals pushed way to the NE over the ocean East of NJ. However, Mount Holly is still bullish. Rainfall totals through tomorrow, will range from around 1 to 1.50 inches across much of the area with localized higher amounts. While this may be unpleasant, especially since it will be over the weekend, it is good to remember that this is a beneficial rainfall.

Always seems the highest totals get pushed NE. WPC not as bullish as Mount Holly. Mount Holly AFD states .50 to 1 inch.

Hopefully .50 to 1 inch says the WPC. We really need a ton more rain as we near peak sun/heat in a couple months.

I saw your post and then I went outside and covered mine as well, little breezy had to wrap twine around it . Dewpoint here is 20, air temp 42, winds down to 5 mph.

Cover them ASAP

Dewpoint currently at 18 here, with temp already falling to 51 F.

Canada still cold with snowcover.

29

Very sad news. Rest in peace Rodger.

83 and hot here ! But, at least no bugs just yet and a DP of only 38.

I have not seen the sun since a week ago last Friday. I need the sunshine vitamin ( actually a hormone )
