The cool down is going to be amazeballs and all, but now let’s get some moisture on this parched earth! GSP total rainfall for September was .16, 3rd driest on record! With about 26 days out of 30, seeing highs of 90-98, a very brutal month!
I didn’t expect to hit 96, with only around 12 hours of sun! I guess when the ground has turned hard as concrete, cracked and parched, there’s no soil moisture whatsoever left to retard heating! I guess September record heat is better than October snow!? But I’m sure we can still pull it off!
My weeds and lawn are toast!! Even the dandelions and crabgrass aren’t growing! The stretch of 90-95 degree days and weeks upon weeks of no rain, have taken a severe toll on all thing plants!
John has beaten Chris into submission!! He used to be a big snow weenie, like most of us! But now, he is very conservative and always leans on the least snowy models, he’s been burned a few times, lol
The CPC can’t even get their 7 day and 14 day temp and precip maps right! I wouldn’t put much stock or worry in their 90 day outlooks! The Eastcoast above normal precip , is already verifying wrong!
Not one drop of rain the whole of September, through today! And the last week or so of August, so deadly dry around here! Plants are dying everywhere! Temps in the 92-96 range everyday also isn’t helping! Normal high is 84
