winterwx21

76 degrees here with a dewpoint of 31 and not a cloud in the sky. Weather doesn't get any better than this. The soil here is very dry though. I'm going outside now to water the vegetable garden. I hope we get a decent amount of rain at the end of the week. I see the Euro now gives us most of our rain Saturday instead of Friday.

I was one of the unlucky spots -- only 0.15" here. Not enough to give things a good watering. Thursday night into Friday looks like the only decent chance of rain. Other than that the next week and a half looks dry. I'll be needing to water the vegetable garden a lot.

One heavy downpour missing just a few miles to my north and another just a few miles to the south. Only a moderate shower here.

Yeah I just checked radar and am pleased to see that a downpour is approaching.

Only .12 here so far, and radar doesn't look promising. Slight chance we get hit by a downpour this afternoon. If not we're going to end up with less than a quarter inch, which would be pretty disappointing.

A top 10 day of the year.

It hit 81 here.

Yeah it's getting to the point that watering is needed. I'll be watering my broccoli and lettuce plants this afternoon. I haven't had to water them much since I planted them in late March because we got plenty of rain, but it's becoming dry out there again. Getting to the point that we could use some rain. It looks like a pretty good soaking for Saturday. Hopefully that will happen.

I have 3 types of woodpeckers in my back yard regularly -- Downy, Red-bellied and Yellow-shafted Flickers. I see the Pileated woodpeckers (like the pic that FPizz posted) where I hunt in Hunterdon county. Always cool to see woodpeckers.

It did manage to touch 60 here, but most of the afternoon was spent in the mid 50s. Felt chilly.

Only 55 here right now. I don't think we're gonna make the forecasted low 60s today. Not a surprise that temps are underperforming with the clouds and wind off the ocean. I'm looking forward to the much warmer weather the rest of the week.

76 degrees here right now. Beautiful out there! Low 80s tomorrow. I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!

The peak of the meteor shower is Monday night, but unfortunately it looks cloudy then. So it's a good idea to check it out tonight with the perfect sky conditions. Should be able to see a few.

Deep blue sky and not a cloud. 60 feels a little cool with the breeze, but a STUNNING day. It feels great doing some work outside today.

It was nice to have warmer weather today. It hit 69 here.
