And those “wet” springs in 2013/14/17/18 weren’t all that effective because it’d rain a bunch at once, followed by long stretches of death ridging that quickly dried the biosphere. I’ll bet soil moisture content ends up higher with a pattern like this that’s less “wet” but cloudier w/ more marine influence…something that has been missing in late spring/early summer over the last decade. 4 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MV_snow Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Nearly 2 days straight of all day rain here. That’s tough to pull of in May. Normally we get meandering ULL’s with showers and sunbreaks rather than fronts with steady rain. Odd spring so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
