nj2va Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 We’ve had a fabulous stretch of weather this week. Low DPs and normal to below temps. Not common here in August. Sitting outside now listening to the late summer sounds. Just awesome. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgottwald Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 The damned humidity is starting to come back just in time for the weekend. DP up to 64 at IAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weather Will Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 WB 18Z GFS… another wet period to track? What will be interesting is to see whether a rainy week ahead sets the stage for a flooding tropical event in the extended period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George BM Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 I got a nice, brief, breezy heavy shower w/ ~25mph wind gusts last hour here in Herndon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frd Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 @donsutherland1 Don S in the NY forum posted this snippet below within his daily summary yesterday. I find it very interesting if you are looking forward to increased rainfall oppurtunities in September. @CAPE might like the potential if history repeats itself. < On August 18, the SOI fell to -32.90. Since 1991, there were 8 cases when the SOI fell to -30 or below during the August 10-25 period. That outcome has often preceded a wetter than normal September in parts of the Northeast. Mean September rainfall figures for those 8 cases: Boston: 4.38" (normal: 3.55"); New York City: 5.08" (normal: 4.31"); and, Philadelphia: 5.12" (normal: 4.40"). Very wet years outnumbered very dry ones by a 2:1 ratio in Boston and 3:1 ratio in both New York City and Philadelphia. 63% of cases saw at least one day with 1" or more rainfall in Boston. 88% saw at least one day with 1" or more in New York City and Philadelphia. 50% of those cases saw at least one day with 2" or more daily rainfall in Philadelphia. In sum, the SOI may be offering a signal that there will be some drought relief for the northern Mid-Atlantic and southern New England regions in September. > I added this from https://www.longpaddock.qld.gov.au/soi/ show the last 6 days.

MN Transplant Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Amazing how things get crispy very quickly. Less than an inch of precip over the last two weeks and the lawn completely gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than an inch of precip over the last two weeks and the lawn completely gave up. Pretty typical for late summer. Trees dropping plenty of leaves. About half my grass always gives up, and won't come back. Started reseeding last weekend. Already have seedlings after 7 days from stage 1. Warm August soil with lowering sun angle. Just have to provide the water until it rains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTy Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Seems like our rain chances keep drying up the day before. I need to overseed, typically I do it during a damp stretch in September. Luckily most of my lawn has transitioned over to moss as trees have grown and shaded it out. It's always green and from a distance looks like lush grass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgottwald Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Just one tiny shower on the radar in Northern VA, but it seems to keep moving back and forth over Vienna. Light rain intensifying to brief downpour, then sun, then rain again, then a few more minutes of sunshine and just now more sprinkles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I need to get used to this heat again after being in chilly OC until today. We were in the low/mid 70s every day with some pretty stiff sea breezes. I can't believe there were people in that water. Hell no! But it was sunny every day while rain poured for 2-3 days just 80-100 miles east. I can tell it's been dry here at home as the grass is dormant and ground hard as rock. Thankfully the neighbors watered our pots and beds, which I'll do for them this week while they're gone. I'm hoping we all get a nice shot of soaking rain coming up tomorrow night and Monday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always does. Yeah there is a difference between grass going dormant, and completely losing its roots and going to thatch. I have the latter with about 50% of mine. Harsh here in the woods, plus well drained soil. A bit of work and it will be back and look nice again until the growing season ends around Jan 1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 MCS/MCV type radar signature with those storms in VA. Mesos all dissipate them before getting to the metro area but I’m skeptical given that organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
