hudsonvalley21 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Jackpot today, just missed out on matching the monthly total. 0.21 in the bucket now up to 0.43 for the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 While it doesn't look like we got much in the LHV it did soak things down nicely. I drove a fair piece of the state yesterday. It started raining on the Taconic at 7:20 and pretty much didn't stop the rest of the 500 miles I covered. It was raining in Old Forge and NW of there, poured in Utica and down through the eastern Fingerlakes and all the way through the Catskills. On the plus side everything is super green and lush. Looks like a warm one coming up the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I must say though, after mocking the lack of rainfall totals there's been a heavy mist/light rain across parts of Orange County all morning which won't add up to inches of rain but certainly appears to be beneficial. It would be interesting to read a study on rainfall rates and the benefits to grasses and plants. What I'm getting at is this softer smaller drop rain is soaking in versus a 20 minutes deluge on rock hard ground with a lot of it running off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestHillWx Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 My father always said the all day rains were better than the deluges from quick hitting thunderstorms. Could be an old farmer's saying or could have some validity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 In the 2010s, you always take the over on heat in July. 89/77/102F here. I think KPOU makes a run at 100 on Sunday when DPs are a touch lower, and the wind turns a little north of west. It's hard to imagine we don't get close with 21-22C 850s and a downslope flow.

Juliancolton Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I like the 93/82F at a CWOP near exit 5, for a heat index of 116. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Well that soaking sure did dry up in a hurry. My garden was thirsty by 3pm this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Epic summer night out there. So comfortable. A local hiking guide I know was talking about how, even in the worst heat waves for upstate NY/WNE, you really only suffer for 8 hours of peak heating out of 24. I would extend that a little bit but if you can stay up until 9 or 10 pm, it really does get pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It rare that I don’t get below at least 70 for a low although this last week was one of those times. That said, while it was hot, I don’t believe there were any record highs set here.

gravitylover Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 It was hot but not unbearable. I didn't spend too much time out in direct sunlight though, I'm still too smart to do that In the woods and in the yard it was alright, windows open in the car as often as AC on was nice enough. Ehh... summer. My wife and kidz don't agree Looks like today gets wet and it turns nice for a few days. Good, things are a bit dry and hard and need to be softened up. My garden has been marginally happy this year. Some things are decent but most aren't nearly as productive as I'd hoped. I don't know enough about this stuff but I'm learning. Creating good food that's good for us is a pretty good motivator to get better at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of like the way I'm seeing it but I guess if it's going to clear out again after I'm ok with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I'm a bit too far north for the heavy convection you guys have been seeing, but still a good dousing.
