CAPE Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 42 minutes ago, frd said: Even the end of next week looks to be rather wet according to Mount Holly's long range outlook. I tend to think if this pattern continues maybe over seeding can commence earlier this year, rather than after Labor Day, as @CAPE mentioned . I keep reading that as the Country dries up drier weather may settle into the East on a extended basis . However, this change seems to continue to push out further and further into the future. From Mount Holly AFD : Looks like the late-week period may be interesting, as the front may stall near or in the area, with deterministic models showing multiple rounds of convection occurring in proximity to it. Certainly a heavy-rain threat from a pattern recognition perspective. I am approaching 7" for the month here already. Mosquitoes have been a non issue so far due to the spring larvacide, but starting to see a few now, and those late summer tigers may become a problem. Could use a few days with no rain lol. I am going to start reseeding this weekend. I will do it in sections, and hopefully have all of Sept-Oct to get it established. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Man what a time to be alive. If 9" of rain wasn't enough, last night we got almost 2" more with that thunderstorm and it looks like we're about to be pounded again. Calvert can't catch a break!
