Bubbler86 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 CMC concurs with minoring out the Sunday front as it approaches Southern PA. Disappointing runs for qpf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That coast to coast ridge is a painful site to look at though just for the cap it will put on anything significant rain wise. The GFS basically minors out Sunday's rain influence on Southern PA. But it does follow up that heat with a nice trough that it can spend a week shifting north and east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of a large Central US ridge, whether country wide or not, has been shoved down our throat now for several days. I think we likely have some days in the 90's (both sides of the state) next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Somehow this map keeps getting worse. Some areas of VA have no precip for 16 days. Will call BS on that but still crazy low totals.

I'm probably alone in this belief, but let the grass burn and plant groudcover instead (vinca, clover, etc - clover is EXCELLENT native groundcover here). The time, money and energy spent on grass lawns is IMO insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I despite chemicals, but again, this is my opinion and I know others will differ strongly! A nice lawn looks fine, sure, but I actually think a nice meadowed front looks better and is better for the ecosystem (birds, bees, etc will love it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a right of passage, when you get older, to yell at the kids to get off your grass.
