I have a near full tan of gas and get just under 40 mpg on highway but leaning against going towards Scranton tomorrow. Maybe go towards southern CT during the evening and try to get some lightning with stuff late evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not a healthy look in general. The pine trees seem to be afflicted with something as well. I would guess if we even get a mild drought there would be some widespread damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Trees aren’t browning from lack of rain. Not this early. It must be something else That said, last summer’s Stein got my neighbors oak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounded like pretty normal to me, why I asked. Normal is usually 3” to 4” per month at most stations. Looks like May is 3.21” normal at TAN, ASOS was less than two-tenths below normal (3.03”). June so far is 0.69”, normal is 1.38”… so that’s a bit low. TAN is 3.72” to your 3.95”. Average is 4.59”. So you’re about 0.60” under. Just need a good downpour. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems awful dry all the way around to me. Yeah I don’t know… part of me thinks we over-estimate how wet we think it’s supposed to be in this forum discussion. The average I’ve always looked at was 3/4ths to an inch per week is about average for most spots. You get a 2” event, good for at least a couple weeks of climo. A 3-4” event covers a month. Also this expectation that suburban lawn grass is supposed to stay green without help, likely plays a role. Folks see lawn grass going dry (but not wild tall grasses) and assume it’s been more abnormally dry to climo than reality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of it is because a large chunk of that fell at once earlier in May iirc. I don’t think he’s had much outside of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get like 3” of rain on May 1st, and then get very little for the next two months, just looking at the numbers, it doesn’t look horrible, but reality is much different.

For sure and it almost adds to what I think. Over all the years that build climo, how many are there that involve prolonged dry stretches with one big QPF event? Probably a decent amount. It seems to be how we get our precip in the warm season in the northeast. It's probably be doing this in the means for hundreds of years. Might not be that abnormal to have some big water events, but decent stretches of dryness. The vegetation will be fine and survive. It's hearty to that type of water pattern in New England. The non-naturally occurring (planted or seeded) stuff though suffers much more like lawns and other vegetation. This stuff of "we need to water" is modern issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he means from a lawn or gardening point of view. You like to have more frequent watering from Mother Nature. But it’s been such a cool couple of weeks that imo even a dry spell is tolerable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Have had sufficient small rain events last week about .75 total. Soil is dry but meh really. Lots of shower activities this week. No worries. If anything need a lot more sun for the garden as this past week other than yesterday has had little sun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
