The weather model doesn’t look quite as cold for the NE>…the cold doesn’t look to penetrate as far south as earlier runs. Should still feel very crisp.
First sunny day here since last Sat. That is the longest cloudy stretch in a long time. Nice dry stretch coming up here with plenty of sun.

Back to really hot! High 80’s .
The flooding from rain is going to be bad. The 12Z HWRF predicts 54 inches of rain in Mobile, AL despite having a much weaker storm.
We got over 4 inches of rain since last night. So much that part of our driveway got washed away. Looks like we’re going to need some gravel brought in. But, it’s been relatively dry here, so the ground’s not too squishy.
Since the ground is so wet, and was windy, one of my apple trees fell over. It was mostly dead, as it hadn’t leafed out the last couple years. It had some kind of root rot it looks like. That makes 3 apple trees I’ve lost this year.

Yup… rain can be worse then wind. Hopefully the heaviest falls over non populated areas.
Clear skies here but not. The smoke from out west must have made its way over because it is really hazy. Temps probably aren’t going to climb as much with this smoke in place. Gorgeous day overall…temp of 71F and a very light wind.

Well, yes I have a tractor, and it actually still has the grader blade still on it. But, our driveway isn’t flat at all, so we have drainage issues. I’ve dug some diversionary ditches, but new ones get started by heavy rains. Our driveway hasn’t had any gravel or creek rock put on it in about 2 years.
Oh, and our power went out this afternoon for a couple hours also, even tho it wasn’t storming anywhere close. My guess was that all the rain and wet soil caused some trees to tump over on some power lines. That makes 3 outages this summer.
Does your soil freeze in the winter then? That must sort of lock it up if it does? I think that is what happens around here, but then in spring everything gets soft and then you run into problems again.
I have a bunch of grape tomatoes and they all split from the recent rain…ugh …time to prune and compost.
It does get kinda cold (for me anyways), but I don’t think it lasts long enough to freeze the soil. But we do get a lot of rain in tbe winter and spring, so the ground seems to be perpetually soggy then.
The most notable change with overnight forecasts from NHC and model guidance is a shift east in the storm’s expected track. The threat to #NewOrleans is no longer quite as high as it was yesterday. The threat to places like #Biloxi #MSwx and #Mobile #ALwx has increased.
Room to plant new ones!
