Hard to think someone would care so much but hopefully buyers don't lose their shit when they come thru for walk thru. It'll bounce back in fall and look like sex all over again but looks all kinds of stupid right now. The reverse happens in winter with the zoysia looking like ass. As long as you're taking care of it overall I wouldn't worry about it. It's the way of things. If they wanna push the issue, buy them a bag of grass seed. It would be a little like complaining cuz there are mosquitos now whereas there weren't any in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 MT Holly has said nothing in their discussion about how abnormally dry this weather pattern has been for anyone nw of Philly. What are their thoughts? Everyday, its Delmarva this and Delmarva that. There is a LV and metro area north of Philly where over 3 million people live and read their weather discussion. Please guys, I am interested your thoughts too. Is too much emphasis is placed on the Delmarva region? Is it because it is closer to Mt Holly? Just because it does not rain, does not mean there should be no discussion about how the weather pattern has affected these other subareas of your CWA. Simply saying it will be drier this weekend when it has not rained more than .05 in in two weeks is not part of a good discussion without some reasoning? Some reasoning examples such as why is it drier, whats holding up the fronts just south of the Mason Dixon line, the unusual dominance of the Canadian weather highs for this time of the year for our area, the role of the Bermuda High with the formation afternoon t- storms, the fact that July is normally the wettest month of the year, the lack of convective storms in our area, the lack of tropical storm development and the list goes on.

RedSky Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 It's all of the above with bad luck thrown in the last two weeks. We have had the dry atmosphere with Canadian airmasses and no pineapple connection all warm season but somehow managed normal rains until this.

RedSky Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 One final shot at rains Friday night and first part of Saturday before a 7-10 day dry stretch. NAM is hit or miss while the GFS and CMC have .50-1". Make or break time for Lehigh crops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 10 days now without measurable rain. Getting crispy out there. Hopefully tomorrow night, but I'm not holding my breath. At least today was pleasantly cloudy most of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always try overseeding with annual blue grass (fastest to germinate and won't come back next year) and watering with a sprinkler.

Albedoman Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Nada for tonight for the LV. This is getting bad. The 60% chance is quickly turning into a 10% chance with less than .25 inch. That will not even put a dent in the soil conditions. I put a shovel in the ground today and it was like concrete and this was in the shady woods. Well, it looks like it will take a tropical storm to break this crappy pattern we are in. Cooler is not necessarily better at this point. I expect drought watches to be issued by the end of the month for our area as the base flow of the Little Lehigh is really falling quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Maybe a shower out at day 10 on the ECM. This could be the deadest lawns seen since 2002 been a long time. The large ridge in the center of the country is cutting of any southerly flow of moisture we normally see in summer this could get ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 After a low of 65 this morning, I did make it up to 86 today, even with mostly sunny skies, but the humidity was pretty rough with dews in the low 70s the entire time. It has clouded up now and is currently 84 with dp 73. Hoping for a quick pop-up or something tonight.

CoolHandMike Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Radar says it's raining, but it's not. With a DP of 71.2°F at the surface, I suspect there's a dry layer somewhere above because nothing's hitting the ground. 11 days and counting without any measurable rain IMBY.
