Are we still on track for mid 90s tomorrow? AccuWeather is still predicting it. They can be 4-5 degrees above my local forecast but I bet we all get pretty equally hot.

Honestly, this warmer/hotter weather is what I have been waiting for. The weekends where we had BDCF's move through with temps in the 50's/60's were for the birds. I would have no complaints if temps were in the upper 80's to low 90's the rest of the summer.

Too hot for me, but I would take upper 80s with low humidity over a consistently wet pattern. The wet pattern we just went through was rough.

The "wet" pattern was mostly in want of moisture from the city on north, so dry anomalies hit the ground running once this more summery pattern commenced. Streamflow is really low for this time of year in the Catskills and mid–upper HV. I'm hoping the NAM has a clue with its support for slow-moving convection in the interior tomorrow evening.

Down here we got it worse than NYC north did. So I welcome a pattern that switches things up a bit.

I wouldn’t say that. But there is no need to have a lush green lawn in July/August. 

The beach should be absolutely packed today. 

The amount of effort that needs to go into a "healthy" lawn shows that they are just wrong. How much water, how much fertilizer, how much pesticide and how much fungicide, etc...? If a lawn belonged it would just grow and be thick, lush and green all by itself except when it doesn't rain for a while and then it would be just like all of the other native pants - hibernating and waiting for the next rains.

I drove up and down the valley from home all the way up to the high peaks of the Adirondacks and Greens over the last week or so and on the surface everything is growing thick and lush but it has become obvious that the soil moisture has dropped significantly. Up in the mid elevations of the Greens the creeks are really low and it's getting dusty which doesn't usually happen for another few weeks. It's hard to tell though if you just look at things in passing though as cut fields are thick and beautiful, the undergrowth in the forest is dense, leaves have taken on that rich summer green but farm fields are crusty and brown and the insects aren't as much of a factor as they should be in late June.
