Euro has rain through Saturday am

3-6" 

Ninjd 

It never really develops the sub tropical low . Not much of a vort signature or surface reflection. The ull is a beast though . 20-35 winds and rain or showers  for 4/5 days 

You know what they say up in the New England forum? Wheel-O-Rhea! Also known as a cutoff low that brings in crap weather for sometimes days at a time. What would be May without this?

Thinking tomorrow is a good day to set down more grass seed and patch the lawn a bit more before we get a week of wet weather.

If you get the kind of rain you're hoping for, it could move the dirt and seed around a little bit. Then again, it's the weather - you never really know. I'll usually roll the dice, but I've also had my share of do-overs. Sometimes that ideal stretch of weather is hard to come by, and sometimes it happens when it's not expected. Like if you got 1" total of rain next week, that would be great for germination. It makes it interesting.

You can also add in that spring is not a good time to plant grass other than maybe to help fill bare spots. Sure if you get a wet summer it can work but under normal summer conditions that new grass has to be pampered if it’s gonna survive until fall. Getting grass to germinate in spring is super easy. Keeping it alive through the summer isn’t so easy.

Agree 100%. Not enough of a root system to take the heat, although semi shaded areas could have a chance. Usually when I seed in the spring it's a temporary aesthetic fix and maybe to reduce erosion, but I pretty much count on re-doing it in the fall.

I understand Eskimo's desire to get some nice grass going, but I found some humor in wanting 6" or more of rain next week right after seeding. An internal conflict, lol.

Not the best time of the year to plant grass seed, but good luck.

And you know this will not be a week of wet weather. Probably the best chance of significant rain (some place in the region) is Monday night into Tuesday. Beyond that it will probably be mostly cloudy and cool, with some showers around, if that upper low meanders for a few days.

That's all we're doing patch management.

The Gefs has a few members track the Atlantic low up into the bay lol. Eps is worlds apart from this  . 6z  Euro still has the Atlantic low escape and tracks the ull way sw of us and has basically dry conditions here through 90 :sun:

NAM has been looking that way too. Subsidence FTL (or win) depending on your perspective.

Here is an indication of which way I have been leaning with expectations- I watered my grass last evening/this morning. :ph34r:

NAM doesn’t really have any rain for up here thru the end of the run. Kinda thinking the doom and gloom forecasts for next week will be wrong for most of us, sure some unlucky folks will get caught under something and probably be miserable for a couple days but I’m thinking generally just dreary days up here and not all that much in the rain bucket

This has been my thinking. The UL will do most of the "damage", and it will be an area of heavy rain mainly west of the metros. Most of the good rains end by Tuesday evening. Then as the low weakens and meanders, keeps things mostly cloudy and cool-ish with scattered showers mid to late week. The subtropical low has little impact, other than producing sinking air for eastern areas until it gets shunted further east.

No reason to believe one solution over the other. Usually these tropical systems get slingshotted around the ULL in the tropics.
