It was a very nice day yesterday, cloudy and about 65. I actually had to wear long sleeves while working outside.
But, it started raining around sunset, and has been raining pretty much all morning and most of the afternoon. We already have 1.5" in the gauge with more in store. Some counties close to us are under flash flood warnings. So, fall has started out cool and wet, and it’s not supposed to really clear out until Thursday.
Just looking ahead here…Some wet weather thru next Monday (off and on…coolish temps) and after that some real fall weather and maybe a shot at my first frost///freeze around the 5th. Should see some days not get out of the 40F’s next week.
Worst year ever here for tomatoes (at least for me).
Lots of raspberries here but SWD is very established locally. Finding plenty of the little guys in soft fruit.
The good news is that the morning lows are going into the high 60’s. On the other hand, the humidity in the morning is 90%, dropping to 77% midday. Looking forward to cool dry weather.
Forecast is calling for upper 20s on Friday night/Saturday a.m. I think I’ll cover my berries with a few painting tarps. Maybe that’ll give me a few more days of berry picking.
NWS shows 35F here with areas of frost…hmmmm…i’ll have to move my tropicals into the garage for the night. Friday and Sat both show highs in the 50Fs.
Rain all afternoon here…big blob. Done now.
Oh man…12z gfs must hang a front up over the area next week…now its not nearly as cold but shows rain chance Sat/sun…and then monday thru Thursday SOLID rain… holy cats it looks wet again.
It sprinkled here off and on yesterday and today, but less than a tenth total in the rain gauge. I planted a bunch of red osier dogwood plugs yesterday and the ground is D, R, Y…dry
