Blocking High pressure to the North. Possible very wet outcome.

Blocking to our North. WPC trending wetter over time.

Can you recommend the product name ? Also, is your blight under control with this product ? I ask because it seems this is more so a fertilizer for soil microbes. here is a cool research link https://extension.illinois.edu/news-releases/scale-your-gardens-health-fish-emulsion-fertilizer

Very true, thanks ! I researched last year that the blight spores reside in the soil , when it rains it splashes upon the bottom leaves and then works it way up the plant. Still happy I had decent tomatoe crop, but not like 30 years ago when I had so many I could can my own tomatoes for winter time homemade pizza sause or spaghetti sauce.

How do you not get tomato blight? Been a constant issue here even with new raised bed gardens. So hot and humid and wet ! I tried a copper spray and straw mulch, helped a little bit, but by mid August most tomatoes not are not looking great. As many leaves died from the blight.

Early next week has decent potential, as discuseed by Mount Holly this morning. Model guidance next week suggest that a strong shortwave will round the base of thee upper-low persisting over eastern Canada, possibly phasing with it and resulting in a more dynamic cold front passing through early next week. That will certainly deserve monitoring for thunderstorms, followed by high pressure bringing a cooler and drier airmass around the middle of the week.

Nice rain here with some wind, but nothing crazy. Best action up North near Se PA.

Lots of cloud cover here.

Any swells from Danny arriving or too far away ? We need some wave action at the beaches.

The odor has increased around the Middletown area and the visibility has decreased.

So what chemical reaction is causing this wildfire smoke to smell more like burning plastic and chemicals versus a typical wood burning ? There are some conspiracy theories on the web about this currently.

Thanks, FYI poor air quality extends West to Des Moines, Iowa and South to Georgia, rather expansive area. Daes Moines, Iowa

With a - QBO, El Nino and low sea ice backdrop it should yield a weaker than normal PV and colder temps in the East. How cold when it matters is unknown at this time.

No indication fires burning will improve anytime soon.

Wow smoke just as bad as it was three weeks ago. Sun just a dim sphere.

Very bad right now . Luckily crate Myrtle did not bloom yet.

Appears the rainfall oppurtunities continue the next two weeks, along with warming temps.

Yes, that is true. I estimate between 5 to 6 inches in my immediate area. These last two events of over 2 inches each time are unusual for this area for mid to late June. I decided to postpone lawn fertilization and good thing because it would have washed away. On a side note, as for the garden, experimenting this year with using straw in in the raised garden bed and near by surface level garden. I am trying to prevent soil splash up on the tomatoes leaves since I have tomoto blight living in the soil and also control soil eronsion. The straw prevents weeds and may even hinder the Cicada killers from making nets on the garden.

SOI index at - 26.03 today. Wow !

This Modiki El Nino, if it does develop, may not act the same as others have done in the past. Using JB's analogs from the 50's and 60's is not logical anymore. Things are much different from 09-10 as well.

Prevailing winds mostly NW, N, and NE. Many days with red flag warnings. Along with Canadian forest fire smoke. This might be related to late season changes to the PV. Significant negative AO and NAO at times plus we have had +PNA as well. I will take it. Feels great.
