ChescoWx Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Latest Euro paints 2.9" at KMQS to near 9" at the Jersey Shore....I will be in Sea Isle City starting tonight and will report from there with obs and pix both here and via my twitter feed (see below and follow me) Lots of rain across the area...if correct across the whole region! Is there enhancement from the relative toasty off shore water temps? If winter....well....why tease everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 This should be fun. I never "not" had to water the garden so much in my life. Every couple days I'm getting enough water to get me through and then some....and it continues. Thinking 1 - 2+" which is fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am worried it may be too much for the tomatoes, I hope they don't develop fungus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not to that point yet in my area. I've been receiving .5" events every couple days and a shower here...a shower there which is perfect. I haven't exceeded 2" in one day in a while. (that I recall?) I'll be happy with another .5" event this afternoon/night. It's the 3" - 4"+ monsoon storms I want to avoid. 73.9F / DP 67F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving SE is what I'm seeing unless something else develops..... If the euro is right, I'll be lucky to see a quarter to a half inch of rain. Just enough to make it miserable, but not in the least bit interesting. WTF is right... Now that I think about it, it'll be the July equivalent of the 2-4 inches of snow I get in a winter storm while DC and Baltimore get 18-24...

(we still have time to mess with that) I would really lose it. Getting screwed out of rain is one thing but getting screwed out of a foot+ of snow equals 3+ days of depression. Pretty much the same feeling as the Eagles losing on a clock expiring FG....several days down in the dumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could build a log cabin out of the amount of zucchini and yellow squash I harvest so far....and still going. Tomatoes growing like weeds...no mildew. Just picked a bunch of red/semi red ones today....bunch of green/semi green (big guys) growing now. But I agree, wouldn't mind a couple days of sun after this precip event.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 3 hours ago, Birds~69 said: Why the hell am I up at 3:15am? Looking for some weather excitement. Currently 71F here with some fog (which is sortof a fall-like condition). I do agree that this is like our past winter pattern in summer with a Canadian High suppressing stuff to the south along and south of the Mason-Dixon line. But then if the front is able to move east far enough, it could also tap into the Gulf moisture to add to the Lows that want to ride along it, and I think one of the AFDs yesterday also called it a "summer nor'easter" type event.

The -NAO is suppressing things, but this isn't January where we're fighting single digit dews. I'm thinking the gradient is overdone. (But what do I know??)
