Light rain coming in. So disgusting out earlier while putting down fungicide.

That is a pretty concerning look for flash flooding potential across most of the Metro tonight into tomorrow morning. I honestly have no idea why the flood watches have not been extended into the City and beyond. Guess we'll see if other guidance is on board for this look.

Yeah, it's better to go on Saturday. I did this the first Saturday of October in 2024, just before the Bridgehampton K-Mart closed, and the traffic wasn't that bad. Then, took the ferry to New London.

Heavy rain here now.  Having to put down fungicide, toxic runoff and higher numbers of disease carrying pests are major side effects of wetter weather..

The ground is back to being very dry here after missing out on the heavy rain earlier in the week. I didn't water the vegetable garden though due to this rain event tonight into tomorrow. Hopefully it won't disappoint. Don't want to see major flooding, but I'd like a nice 1 to 2 inches of rain. We're still in a moderate drought here.

The hot dry weather is terrible. I lost some of the first tomatoes that were about to ripen up in early July due to sunscald. It was that horrific heat wave to start July combined with the bone dry conditions. Thankfully things turned around after that with a cooler pattern and a good amount of rain the rest of July, so I've been getting a big crop of tomatoes the last couple weeks. It wouldn't have happened though had we stayed in the hot very dry pattern. We don't want too much rain, but it's important to get enough. Drought combined with heat is the worst.
