The Iceman Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Reading this thread you'd think we were in the drought of the century sheesh. A bit below normal rainfall this summer but judging from posts you'd think that the Delaware valley has turned into a desert. Last two weeks have been great, not too hot, and pretty comfortable to do things outside. I'm sure we ll be begging for the rain to stop come winter and the strong El Niño.

Depends on what you do outside. For a grower the extreme dry of May and the last month has been tough, and the saturation of June encouraged blights.

But I really don't think pa farmers will be taking losses from this dry spell. My tomatoes and peppers are coming in great this year. Also have two pumpkins on the way. I don't have a huge garden but still it hasn't been too tough of a growing season imo but I could be off base... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Just watch us get 8" rain through the end of the month wouldn't be surprised lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 GFS has been backing off now at only .50-.75" for the event. This has been the hot model as late too. Hope it is in for a fail is all i can say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Recently it seems our best storms have come through in the overnight hours. Still, this looks to be a relatively quick mover, so .5" to 1.0" looks reasonable right now. Maybe we can tack on a little more if some storms fire up tomorrow afternoon.

Voyager Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Model consensus is now 1"+ in the rain gauges tomorrow night and Tuesday. After striking out the last three weeks I lack confidence in this wetness I already picked up 0.58" here. Kind of surprised we got that much. Of course I was in Connecticut where it was nice and sunny well into the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treckasec Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Is it really that dry here? Reading this thread you'd think we were in the drought of the century sheesh. A bit below normal rainfall this summer but judging from posts you'd think that the Delaware valley has turned into a desert. Last two weeks have been great, not too hot, and pretty comfortable to do things outside. I'm sure we ll be begging for the rain to stop come winter and the strong El Niño. This summer has been pretty uneventful in our region so people start talking about how dry it is. I feel that there is some exaggeration in peoples' posts about how dry it is. We were in a worse drought in May than right now. In fact, the drought monitor for NJ only shows a (very) small portion in D0 drought, and that's in NW Jersey. Uneventful weather + drier than normal (but not necessarily drought) = exaggerated posts to keep things interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Actually hasn't been as bad a ride to Wildwood as I feared. Ran into some rain on 476/NE extension around Quakertown and again just before Mid-County but not a big deal. Humid as hell though currently on the AC Expressway (rest stop)...
