CAPE Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 14 hours ago, MN Transplant said: It would really be great if we could spread the rain out better during the year. Watering the new seed but it is drying out quickly. Obviously everything established is fine. I am about to put down a new section of seed. With the lower sun angle and all the tree shade I have, I would rather it be dry so I can do controlled watering until germination. Its tough to keep wet if its an area that gets full sun though. I try to rake it in and sometimes put a thin layer of peat moss on top, and really soak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 12 days without any measureable precip here, and only 0.13" in the past 20 days. Today's 12Z GFS has 0.00" for the next 16 days. Don't recall ever seeing a complete shutout on that model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 And the ridge comes roaring back again next week. Ugh. Looks like our return to fall will be brief. We can't even get done one heat wave before we see the next one on the 7-day. Guess I'll have to make the most of this weekend's cool down, even though - as luck would have it - I have to work on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Weather looks great for the weekend into early next week. Beyond that, looking at the GEFS, still looks like lots of days in the 70s for our area. Mighty dry though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 It was pretty muggy when I went to the car this morning. 71 and humid is not terribly comfortable at 5:30 am, if I do say so myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at 00z and 06z and was wondering what you saw that I didn't! It looks warm for the time of year, but well within the realm of comfort.

I saw that 18z and read NWS discussion yesterday morning and it painted a hot, desolate picture. Now, we are just left with desolate. There is so much brown around here. Heard on the radio that Front Royal instituting mandatory water restrictions as the flow of the South Fork of the Shenandoah is very low. Accuwx doesn't show a drop of rain on the LR until Oct. 17.

Same with the unusual cool spell in aug/early sept. We're in the rebound/balance stage with warm stuff right now. I hope it holds all the way through Oct into Nov. I'm not kidding either. Let's have a rubber band snap back right before thanksgiving that lasts thru mid Dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC_WX Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 IAD +0 for the month heading into today, the last day of the solid heatwave. September really turned out to be the inverse of what one might ordinarily expect, more like June. I suspect the month finishes essentially normal in the means, which this month was anything but. Also interesting how June and September were acutely dry for most of the region, in such contrast to July and August. Strange days indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the wind blows a certain way I can't see how people live so close. Its awful just driving by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
