Pondering whether this may be the driest period of thesSpring and summer, or does feedback start along with neutral Pac conditions and we stay dry. And from there go very hot. . Really dry out here. Grass is done , brown areas since three days ago, and every day the dryness becomes more evident. Bottom line is I hated the excessive rainfall that ruined my garden the last 3 summers but a drought is also a pain, every day you have to water, that grows old fast, especially since it is only the middle of May. And, this wind today only makes it feel even drier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 We had a nice spring temperature wise, but damn we’ve switched to summer with a quickness. Euro bakes us next week too. And it gives us a bit of rain next Monday, but still pretty dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been bizarre watching these high-based TS/shower events over the past few weeks. Looks and feels more like the West with the huge T/Td spreads, inverted V soundings and huge daytime mixing layers -- which have been sneakily depleting water via evapotranspiration while not providing much precip in return. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino16 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 There was a bush and rosemary plant both looked like they were suffering a bit. The leaves on the bush were turning brown on the ends, and the rosemary was yellowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 0.83" here for May, augmented by watering over the last few days. So no drought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Forecast for the weekend would maybe get us to normal for May. Still have a deficit from April! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 It already flipped back tonight IMBY. Even 2018 had that 2-week dry spell in early July in between the deluges. I think droughts are impossible in the Mid-Atlantic in the new normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Its official. My rainfall total for May is .87". The driest in the last 42 years. The second driest was 1.60" in 1991. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 All I know is my grass is patchy brown. And thats with some pretty cool temps we've had for this time of year. That shouldn't happen in May. I haven't checked the daily numbers, but I'm confident I did not receive 1" of rain for May. And my memory is that we've been below normal for several months prior. We had the last of our high QPF events in December. Since that time, it certainly feels we entered a new, dry regime. *ETA I just checked the records.....I missed 1.3" that fell on 5/3, so I was wrong about May's total. But, since that time I've had just 1" And confirmed that I'm below normal every month since December, although April was just a little below normal.

Yea I kinda lol at this thread in general every time it gets bumped as if a few weeks of no precip or a few months of below mean = some crazy freak thing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
