@TT-SEA By the way things are really blooming right now. Saturday will probably be the best day of 2024 with the plants fully greened out alongside 80F weather under uninterrupted sunshine. If this ridge goes double-barrelled like some guidance suggests we will be starting to dry up by the end of the whole warm spell.
If Phil's proclamation for a return to troughing and seasonable westerlies by the 25th rings true, we'll get to see if a late Spring wet pattern can save the lawn. I haven't really experienced a Spring yet where we dried out and warmed up into the 70s/80s for a couple weeks only for the bottom to fall out during the latter portion of the season. Lately we've been unable to turn that 'Summer switch' back off.
We tallied just 0.15" of rain here from this last troughing sequence. Basically the worst case scenario with lots of underperformances and very near-misses. It's quite unfortunate for this time of year, but what can you do. We still have a solid month and a half of a defined midlatitude storm train to contend with before it goess full cutoff randomness by July, so here's to hoping!
