Even the end of next week looks to be rather wet according to Mount Holly's  long range outlook. I tend to think if this pattern continues maybe over seeding can commence earlier  this year, rather than after Labor Day, as  @CAPE mentioned .  I keep reading that as the Country dries up  drier weather may settle into the East on a extended basis . However, this change seems to continue to push out further and further into the future.  

 

 From Mount Holly AFD :

  Looks like the late-week period may be interesting, as the front may stall near or in the area, with deterministic models showing multiple rounds of convection occurring in proximity to it. Certainly a heavy-rain threat from a pattern recognition perspective.

I am approaching 7" for the month here already. Mosquitoes have been a non issue so far due to the spring larvacide, but starting to see a few now, and those late summer tigers may become a problem. Could use a few days with no rain lol.

I am going to start reseeding this weekend. I will do it in sections, and hopefully have all of Sept-Oct to get it established.
