Hard to believe it’s an 85Mph sustained storm right now.

Odds are forever in his favor on NBD here. It takes a precise track to make TCs meaningful in New England. Let's stick to model analysis and lay off calling people out.

Your fun-loving baby sitter is here.

Bullseye 5 days out wreaks of confidence of a direct hit.

The trouble I’ve seen

I'd hedge that way as well unless we see some weakening in that ridging dvelop.

If there is a surface low, it would be.

Yes please. That's why my initial post was synoptic rains. Maybe we can score a low pressure around our area to give us some rain.

You should see the white pines and yellow birch at our house in Bridgton. I’ll post pictures some day when I remember. They have to be 100’ tall. The trunks are probably 24” dia.

Western Atlantic Ridge. You could say Bermuda High

What will the last month of 2020 MET Summer bring? It's been a warm one and in some cases, a top 5 warmest to date. Many places could use a solid rain storm. Will the tropics heat up for the East Cost?

About 1/2 my lawn has gone dormant now from the heat and lack of rain.

Why? I see nothing threatening to us.

If it's not 990' in CT, then you're at sea level.

Yeah, I have a Kousa now. It's done wonderfully. Blooms a bit later then other Dogwoods I see around. Nice white blooms with some tinges of pink in there. Fruit is red as well. Looks like red-twig is the same species. I had one when I lived in Middleboro and I just loved the bright red in WInter. https://www.mortonarb.org/trees-plants/tree-plant-descriptions/red-osier-dogwood

This is my ongoing list of plants I'm looking into. Some I already have in my yard. I'm going to wait till the Fall at this point to plant anything given we are in the middle of our dry season. Plants/Shrubs for year round color Spring: Plum/Cherry Crocus Forsythia Daffodils/Jonquils Hyacinths Iris Forsythia Lilac Quince Kousa Dogwood Carpet Phlox Wegeila Bleeding Heart Summer: Astilbe Hosta Rhododendron Azalea Roses Hydrangea Summersweet Coneflower Black-eyed Susan Day Lilies Aster Sage Gayfeather Lavender Shasta Daisy Bee Balm Tenor Phlox Butterfly Bush Fall Ornamental Grasses Mums Violets Dianthus Burning Bush Barberry Winter Winterberry Purple Beautyberry Red Twig Dogwood

Those look good. I'm looking to start designing plantings that I want for my front beds that were just done. I'm looking to have year round color/interest thru flowers,shrubs.

Yeah, looks like some sort of Tree Nut Fruit

Look a the 1st picture I posted above. There are 2 Sunset Maples that I planted about 12 years ago now. They were about 1-2" trunks (10' tall) when I planted them. Just look at them now. Ones has to be about 5-6" dia now and 20' tall. Flourishing on there on now. 1st season is critical for success. Keep that root mass damp.

Watering will be critical.

I’ve gone there. Don’t think I’ve ever bought anything from them though. The trees I’ve planted I purchased at Briggs Nursery in North Attleboro.

Front yard was edged and mulched while we were on vacation. Had the shrubs in front of the house yanked out. Long overdo for a makeover. Ready for plantings in the fall. Just need to come up with ideas for more color year round.
