I get a feeling when we break out of this, we’ll do the polar opposite. Rainfall has been a case of too little or too much the past few years. It’s either bone dry or a flood risk. We really stink at doing it the old fashioned way by having that weekly type of event.

I don’t mean to brag but I recorded .11” of rainfall this morning. I’m now planning to get a lottery ticket when I’m out.

Has the triangle in the jackpot zone so I know that map ain’t accurate

Phase 8 will need to deliver the goods
-
It’s coming. It’s just a question of how much fescue you’ll lose between now and then.
-
It’ll break down Memorial Day weekend. Like clockwork, always does!!

Saw a lot of commentary online criticizing them for it too. People have no clue how hard it is to get any grass looking healthy in a drought with Georgia heat, let alone bentgrass greens. I agree, irrigation helps to a degree but it can’t replace the type of soaking that rain delivers.

I’ve went into my full July irrigation schedule here. Even with it, this is probably the worst the lawn has looked in April in years. I have Texas Bluegrass that spreads with rhizomes like Bermuda and its repairing ability has completely stalled out these past few weeks.

Probably the first time I’ve seen the clay cracking in April

The forests in the western half of NC are littered with dried debris from Helene. It’s a powder keg and I’m afraid one cigarette flung out of a window could cause a disaster.

.37 is my total. A bit disappointing but I’ll take whatever we can get.

Yes, you’re welcome in advance: https://weather.com/retro/ .

Nothing like watching a robust cell dissolve in 2 frames, just 1 mile from your house after it survived a 2 county trek .

I’ll jump on the big yikes bandwagon. It’s been so dry that even a week into restarting my irrigation on the lawn, it’s still dormant for the most part and in mid winter form.

30 here…thinking that may be the last sub freezing reading of the season. What do yall think?
-
Hoping tonight delivers at least a few light showers. My sinuses are getting whipped worse than ever.
-
30.7° at 10 am is just flat out impressive for this time of year
-
It’s impressive how bad the gfs performed coming into winter, then it woke up from coma swinging with brass knuckles.
-
The line just moved through my neck of the woods. No lightning, heavy rain and maybe a few gusts to around 30mph. It’s definitely getting its act together as it marches east though. A lot of Charlotte cams showing the same clearing I saw earlier. What are you folks seeing further east?
-
Yall are going to get smoked later! Enjoy fellas.
-
Not even a clap of thunder! We’re lucky it’s moving through in the morning though, it’s impressive how well it became organized when it hit higher dews east of the escarpment. It’s going to be a rough day for the piedmont.
-
Those are clear skies an hour after that first line and not a long distance from the main line here in the foothills. That can’t bode well for folks down east. .
-
Today is sneaky. I think for those along and west of I-77, it’s worth not getting lulled to sleep and distracted by Monday’s headlines.
-
Yep. The poor radar coverage a few years ago caused a tornado to go unwarned in Catawba County and multiple people died.
-
All of the short range models are starting to slow that front down. Any more ticks west with time and even more folks in the Carolinas and Virginia are going to be under the gun.
