Sprinkler is running. No confidence in the hit and miss showers hitting my yard.
-
87 here. Its not awful out.
-
Who cares? That is not how the temperature is measured.
-
Not feelin' it for my yard over the next day or 2. My sprinkler broke yesterday. Time to head to Lowes for a new one.
-
18z 3km NAM looks wet for much of the region. 2"+ for many areas.
-
PDS otherwise just give me some decent rain.
-
The beer talk is lacking here lately. I wanted the new batch of WWS, but "settled" for a 750 ml bottle of Founders KBS. Its very good, as always.
-
Also a marginal risk for excessive rain for day 3 across our region. Stalled front, high PWATs. and flow aloft parallel to the front. Could be some training storms. This could all very well fall apart, and there is still disagreement among guidance as to where exactly the front ends up stalling, but there is the potential for 1-3 inches of rain "some place" within our region. My confidence level? Sprinkler is currently on.

^It's on the schedule for this evening.
-
Maybe the general h5 look we have seen with the mean ridge to our west can hold into summer. Would definitely reduce the episodes of prolonged extreme heat if nothing else.
-
48 here this morning. Another near perfect weather day coming up, before a quick transition to a very warm and humid air mass for the mid to late week period. Looks like the front will stall rather than clear the area, so there should also be some chances for showers and storms.

New Honda mower is smooth and tight.The smart drive variable speed self-propelled system works really well. Impressed so far.
-
Meanwhile the Tidewater is getting clocked pretty good with heavy rain. Looks like a nice dead zone setting up between the line passing well to the NW, and the stuff to the SE. Not interested in the least in severe, just some heavy downpours.
-
12z 3km NAM and the latest HRRR runs concur. Best dynamics lift well NE it seems.
-
Friday Happy Hour. Drinking a Double Digit.

Well since I pushed for that thread to be started to begin with, I cant completely disagree. Ofc I don't have any say in which threads stay active and which ones are locked. I suggested a separate thread mostly to keep the COVID talk from dominating banter, as it was at the time. Activity is definitely much lighter here now in general though, but that is typical for this time of year. At least there is an easily accessible option for those who want to engage in that discussion on this forum.
-
The action here always dies off this time of year. Most of the regulars gradually disappear. This is a winter weather 'centric' forum, despite the fact we don't see much actual winter weather anymore in these parts.
-
Yes its a 206. Fat fingers me lol. Fixed
-
So I bought a Honda mower today- the same one @George BM has and recommended. My dad has basically the same thing, but his has an electric start. I am good with pull start. I'll get it put together on Saturday. Enjoying an Oliver 206 IPA right now.
-
Well funny you mention that. I was just talking to my dad and that is exactly what he has. He seems very happy with it. For the money, I am leaning in that direction.
-
Ha yeah. I remember my dad had one when I was a little kid living in a row house in Edmonson Heights. I may have pushed it around a few times.
-
6 acres, but most of it is wooded. I probably have a half acre or so that needs to be mowed.
-
I am thinking about going with this one.
-
Damn the new Snappers are just as pricey.
-
Yeah they are pricier but nice mowers. Get what ya pay for. True statement.
