Smallies are getting ready to do the deed. All the cold mornings have beds deeper than I've ever seen. Lots on 10-15'. Any tapering points with a hard bottom had fish stacked on them in 15-30' yesterday.

My plan is to do the same this fall. I think I may have to mix some peat in to get the soil away from alkaline. I'll just some soil tests first, but I'm pretty sure that's a big issue for me.

If it is well above 7 then spreading ammonium sulfate or sulfur-urea are decent and also help out nitrogen levels prior to seeding. A lot less work too. I wouldn't seed right after putting down given the fast release N might be too much for seedlings.

Canadian is totally dry , FV3 showers and NAM had most of the rain north of Pike. 

Did you mean CT Pike?

Saturday ranges from a couple showers to a washout to totally dry in SNE. Euro looks ridiculous. Probably have to allow for a few spotty showers. Then nice and warm inland rest of weekend .

 

Looks like a pretty sharp cut-off south of the pike for any precip on every model.

Wouldn't mind some rain. Looking at about an inch since May 2nd.

What’s the best mixture for our climate to topdress? Not going to do it now but early fall the plan is to aerate and topdress it. 

Trying to level areas or just topdress?

how much time do you need to wait between fertilizer treatments?  I'd like to get some weed control down, but don't want to harm the lawn in the process.

 

TIA.

What and how much did you put down when? What do you want to do for weed control/what issues do you have?

Quabbin allowing for boats as of tomorrow, but NOT renting boats.  Which sucks for those of us without a boat.

Yup, and only tow vehicles, trailers, and boats with Mass registration. A lot of guys in NH and CT are not happy. When I can steal a neighbor's for the day I'll let you know.

I don't know who is worse. Him or Jason Aldean in terms of pandering.

NSFW but check out Bo Burnham's "country song."

Tough day out there today. Thought we would smoke them as the water is in the upper 50s, clouds, no wind. I went through a whole bag of jig trailers since every hookset would send a 1/4oz or 3/8oz back at my face and a single claw missing. Just wouldn't eat it. Ended up with 8-10 largemouth (nothing over 2 lbs,) on the finesse worm or 3.5" swimbait and about 30 slime darts. 

Holyoke got hit hard. Gazette headline said two apartment building roofs were ripped off and displaced over 140 people. 

Sweet baby jesus

Lots of your typical, to slightly more than typical, spinup sigs on the leading edge.  Folks commenting on NWS chat.  Most are probably fairly innocuous, with trees and branches maybe coming down here and there.  The one in Whately caught my eye a little bit.

Looking more interesting as it heads towards Shutesbury?

Watch around Stockbridge/Great Barrington.

That line about to hit Saratoga Springs, damn. Wicked winds.

 Also, Feb 2017, with a tornado out this way in the valley.

Still a great path of that one out by DAR across Lower Highland Lake.

82/64, breeze is kicking up.

Those smaller pop-ups should be starting the hour.

On the 1230 PM update,they have also expanded the 5% risk for tornadoes, as far east
as Boston and as far south as near MA/RI border and into
northern CT. Some mesoscale models have been showing a higher
0-1km helicity than earlier runs in those regions. The basic
thinking, though, has not changed.

So weenie-ish it comes with fries.

80.3/63, how high will they go?

72/61. Feeling warm with a 5-10mph breeze.

In North Adams, and it is quite warm. We had some brief sun, but mostly clouds. 62 here with a dewpoint of 55. It should get quite interesting around here. I used to live in the Midwest, and I think today may be one of the most interesting weather days since moving to the area in 2012. 

You should camp out in the lighthouse tonight.

HRRR tears big renegade storms across CT later this afternoon. That’s our hope. Tonight’s will just be a light show

That NW corner is going to get rocked. Would love to be on top of Bear Mt to watch it come in, then run like hell down. 

@Typhoon Tip - I'm interested in that idea you had yesterday about a 190* wind direction and how storms fade as the get past I-91. Any suggested reading or just years of obs?
