87storms Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Typical clipper-like outcome from this system. We need to get away from this La Niña, w/nw flow style of a pattern and get the Gulf of Mexico/Atlantic involved again on a more consistent basis.

Trying to get grass and landscaping looking good and growing at our house that was rebuilt last summer , I would like to get consistent moisture this spring and early summer - except for that 1 Thursday morning it just hasn't happened down here...

George BM Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 A relatively thick band of smoke from Canada's fires moving in overhead this morning. The sun will look dark and strange. 61/50 at IAD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have received only 50% of normal in May. Our best wish would be 6 inches of rain over a 2 week period........... About .48" per day nonstop 7 days a week, slow and soaking.............. Some would commit suicide, but WTH.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moved plants in where I could, covered others where I could. The newly planted tomatoes were on their own. I think it was ok. Didn't see any frost.

87storms Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Kinda surprised by the lack of humidity again today, even with the southerly wind. Once that upper level ridge moves east, I imagine tomorrow will be a little more humid. This spring has been the type that should cater to just about everyone. It's been mostly mild, but also mostly dry (for those who are anti-humidity). I don't really have any interest in an all day rain event, but it would be nice to get some afternoon storms added to the equation in the next few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Looks really dry in the next 7-10 days. Rain chances with the coastal/front combo tomorrow have really diminished in recent days especially for those west of the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least this wasn’t a cold/wet gut punch of a spring after a record warm winter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Some changes on all the 3 globals today towards wetter chances late next week. All show a semi-tropical (??) coastal low and an upper level low bringing unsettled weather somewhere in the east coast. Big variance in where. Gfs brings it into VA with quite a deluge for the holiday weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
