Another comfy morning sandwiched around big daytime heat. Like the days of yore.

Low of 65° here. The clear nights have helped us radiate a little.  Clear skies and I only saw two meteors last night so that was disappointing.

76 BDR and HVN for lows. Already up to 79 at HVN.

Moderate+ Drought is again a real problem for a chunk of us.

Really hoping Thursday drying trend on guidance flips today. Could really use an 1”+ from that here

Some models showing heaviest precip west of CRV towards NYS; let’s see how that plays out

The second half of the summer has really pinned successive rain events south of the pike and over towards CT.

Yea it’s been brutal for those who care about their property. A lot of up keep, expensive water bills. And still dog shit aesthetic results because, you’re fighting too much in mid summer through a chunk of august.
 

and the conservation of water initiatives rolled out by local cities are counter to green scaping to reduce UHI/global warming affects.They have to figure something out on this.

Yeah NE PA into SE NY state ftw. Might be a narrow area extending into CT to RI and SE MA.

Man euro is a furnace in the extended.

It does look like we have quite the baroclincity for Thurs to work with for the calendar—> surface to mid level frontogenesis. So I could buy something like the 6z Rgem, at the same time I do believe that area will be narrow and cold front esque in distribution on the north side. All about where this sets up bc you’ll have sig subsidence just to the north of that boundary, and not much just to the south of it either.
 

West and south into upstate NY and PA look best setup for the broad 0.75” + amounts. Don’t think that changes. They also need the rain much less than we do…

I don't hate it because it slows the growth of the grass down...I don't water, I just maintain it.

I don't really water either-it always comes back green in the fall

Good luck with that given more cool ENSO...let me know how it works out-

Same here (temp wise).  Was a bit lower yesterday (63).

Lawns (while I love a nice, lush, green one) are not great as far as maintaining a minimal environmental impact. They soak up a ton of water and don’t keep things as cool as native species. 
 

that being said, a stressed lawn is more susceptible to disease, etc.  rain would certainly help.  
 

Dry July for sure.

Tough to be nervous when dissapointment becomes baseline.

I’m kidding. Kind of numb to it at this point.

Yeah a brown 1-2” cut monoculture lawn does not make a drought. We had a wet spring. Normal habitats are fine.

Back to our ongoing “Hawk talk”, this guy has been hanging out on the edge of our pool and on our basketball hoop.  Young red tail?   He/she is loud. 

[Damage In Tolland]

Is it even going to rain?

[Sn0waddict]

For the past three runs now the 3k has honed in on eastern PA as the recipient of the rain deluge.

Radiational cooling will save you ! Fake cold 

Sure did, add the whole house fan into the equation and sleeping wasn't too bad. Low got down to 67⁰ this morning, 72⁰ by midnight. House was 73⁰ when i woke up this morning. The house was almost 87⁰ at 9 pm last night...

Yeah and hilly terrain up there in NE PA so not good.   The placement could still change a bit as we're 24 hrs+ to go
