I would like to order a deluge and hold the wind please for all of the west!

Just under an inch of rain this morning…that would be the most since July 9th. Less then an hour east of here some spots had over 10 inches according to radar. That area has been hammered all summer.
Cold front moving thru…should drop to about 60F tonite…this should start a trend where temps stay below 80F maybe the next week or more. Another good shot of rain Monday as a reinforcing cool shot comes thru.

Shower in a.m. and the tropical remnants of Laura will reach us before dark and through tomorrow in Kentucky. Most of us didn’t have any significant drought issues, but the rain is welcome here.

Lookslike the rain from the front has piffled away to nothing - again
Our August rainfall total is less than an inch
Best chance looks to be Tues.
I’ll post a pic tomorrow…but omg…my cauliflower (cheddar) is forming a head. I planted those things in April? lol… another strange odd thing that has happened with them over the summer…no caterpillars on them from those stupid white moths. The leaves look really good…never sprayed BT or anything, what i have noticed is wasps hanging around the plants all summer…they must be eating them or something?
My wife’s friend who lives in Toronto was talking about how cold it was up there. They have a pool and the temp of the water was 64F… yikes. NO thonging in that thing.

I haven’t seen anything from the vegetable pests, no blights or wilts, but the yield is awful anyway.
This fall, I’m turning the garden over to prairie.
The GFS is hinting at some late fall weather at day 10. Looks like shot after shot of high pressure out of western Canada the next 10+ days…
That blue line (540) is the freezing line (usually what determines rain vs snow). Still too warm for that nonsense but still should be fun to watch. The blue in Ontario is snow flakes.

Rain gauge shows about 3 inches fell this morning. I guess someone flipped the switch.
Still looks very chilly in the extended.

Yep, rainy and chilly looks to be the pattern for September.
1/4 inch - if that
That ain’t going to do it. The rain we got helped but it was too late. I guess it was nice not having to mow for like 6 weeks//the only thing green was weeds.
We had thick fog this morning…chilly too…55F or so when i left. Then some sun and now back into heavy cloud cover. Cold shot still coming…gfs doesn’t look quite as cold but still should see a night around 40F. Moon was neat last night.
Celery in the garden all got pulled and thrown into compost pile. Garbage again. I have some growing in my pond that looks good…only way to grow that stuff around here.
Looks like that frost potential is growing for next weds morning. I’m guessing cold spots will get frost. I’ll be watching. Tomatoes might be done.

It could snow in Denver next week.
