1.57 inches here. Not too shabby, however, the rainfall distribution very scattered in nature.

The famous and destrcutive Hurricane of 1938 was moving at an incredible 47 mph. Wow ! On September 21, 1938, one of the most destructive and powerful hurricanes in recorded history struck Long Island and Southern New England. The storm developed near the Cape Verde Islands on September 9, tracking across the Atlantic and up the Eastern Seaboard. The storm hit Long Island and Southern Connecticut on September 21, moving at a forward speed of 47 mph!

Areas East have some good juice

That is indeed true, many seasonal warmth records have been achieved during the past 5 to 10 years along the Western pheriphery of the robost WAR. Going from New England right down into the Eastern regions of the SE states. Of note though, this summer the Atlantic SSTs are not as warm as recent summers.

Later August might really warm up from DC and points NE.

Most of the real beneficial rains misses areas that really need it.

Rainfall totals for the Eastern areas really doesn't look like anything too special. Very speculative looking out determining where greater than half an inch of rain may fall. Could very well be a dry week for certain areas despite the clouds .

I hope it's more widespread this time.

That might change this week. LOL.

I plan to overseed earlier this year. Sept 1 st versus the 21 st. Despite having poa trivialis issues. Will see what happens. Was thinking of skipping overseed and using just nitrogen every 4 weeks combined with controlled watering.

There have been two corridors of heavy rainfall the past two weeks one from Dover East and Southeast and another from Philadelphia East Northeast across central Southern New Jersey

How many days did it take for your seeds to germinate?

Area of rainfall and thunderstorms seems to be gathering more coverage in West Virginia. Hopefully we can cash in on some rainfall later today

Pretty cool.

WPC precip trending drier for next week. Would have been nice to get an inch or more of rain.

Its been over for the last 4 years. Nothing new.

End of the week guidance doesn't look too robust with rainfall opportunities , possibly go a week without hardly any rain and then if we miss the end of the week rainfall change another week with no rain. Looks ugly for vegetation, lawns and trees.

Almost like a typical winter time shift East with the models , can you imagine all that snow to the East with Northern Delaware, Baltimore and DC with a dusting.

New Jersey a winner again.

It simply seems that even in the medium term it can not be trusted. So many failed forecasts by the Euro and the EPS.

Euro sucks.

At least it's something.

The probability of rain has certainly gone downhill just like the probabilities of snow in the winter. Looks to be the most significant period coming up regarding the combo of dry and hot. Hopefully a cool down later in August.
