Not mowing for weeks is a plus

True, I have not mowed the front lawn in weeks. Just some edging. What is amazing is how some of the weeds can still grow out of the cracks in driveways and roads.

[IrishRob17]

Last mowing was 7/4 here, no idea when it’ll be needed again, certainly not this week.

Last mowed around the 20th. Nothing has grown since

The Euro and GEM slowed the cold frontal passage down to later on Wednesday. So this will be near the warmest July 20th to August 10th periods on record. It will also rank as one of the areas warmest 3 week stretches of any time of the year. The usual warm spots could make a run on 100° from Monday into Wednesday.

I have to keep pulling those pesky locust trees and crab grass in the lawn

I can't even remember the last time I cut the lawn. This has been the longest stretch of not mowing I can ever remember for the summer. We've certainly had summers in which the lawns burned out, but I don't remember anything this extreme.

 

Anyway HRRR NAM and RGEM are showing very little activity for today. Just a slight chance today and tomorrow. Not looking good as this extremely dry pattern continues.

That means someone will get slammed today

The 0z EPS shifted to showing more blocking long range. This could mean better rainfall chances and less 95°+ major heat potential later in August. But it’s one of those things that could shift if the WAR is stronger in later runs. 

New run

Old run

 

IF real I wouldn't mind that pattern going into peak hurricane season.  Trof axis around Ohio Valley, dominate WAR just offshore and blocking near Atlantic Canada.  One can hope some semblance of that pattern comes to fruition for later in August.

Yeah and last year it was a struggle keeping up with my two houses because of the constant rains here from July thru early Oct.

[SnoSki14]

I barely got anything over the past few days. Everything looks brown and trees withering. 

More hot/dry will make things worse

 Horrible outside worst stretch of weather by far this summer.  No end in sight unless you believe the cold front will get here Thursday which it will probably end up being hung up over the area with the continuation of warm to hot with high dew points

Even White Plains is close to a 90/70 high low spilt which is rare for your area from July 20th to August 5th.

Many stations that can hit 90° thru Wed, will be working on a 9 day 90+ streak.

[Dark Star]

Mostly cloudy today?

[SnoSki14]

As hot as it is here it doesn't compare to the plains. Multiple 100s, 110-115 HI. Awful 

[LoboLeader1]

Currently 90 here, DP @ 70.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

-- Changed Discussion --

Will continue to monitor temps and dew points. Portions of interior eastern CT have registered dew points in the mid 70s. With cloud cover potentially staying back to the SW just long enough, resulting in full sun for most areas into at least the first half of the afternoon heat advisories may need to be hoisted for multiple days of 95+ heat indices (starting potentially w this afternoon). Will make this decision next update as it will be borderline for later today. Trimmed back POPs ever so slightly across eastern sections for the most part for later today. Still maintaining chance to slight chance POPs from west to east across large majority of the area for this afternoon and the early evening. Previous discussion follows.

[psv88]

Hit 89.4, but now there is a great breeze and it’s 87. Not bad at all under the shade of this tree.
