Today's Weather in Your Garden - 26

Celeste and Sherrie - I'm so glad you are OK. Has any one heard from Louise? What a freak storm!

Gorgeous today and tomorrow. Possible rain overnight Saturday. Look like a perfect week coming up.

Great shot, Nance!

Glorious steady all night and still coming down. I am very happy. It is suppose to clear later. Grass is greening up already. Patti

Sunny clear day. Bright blue sky except for a few wispies. Very light breeze and not quite as humid as it has been but not nice dry air yet. Temp is low 70s. We got over 3" of rain yesterday. Have been looking at pics of NH on the news, what an awful storm and a lot of damage. I am happy to hear all got through okay so far. Neat cloud pic Nan.

Nanegoat66: Perfect shot! Now I don't have to go take one to post showing how it is here!

Glad everyone came out of those storms ok.

86 degrees today some clouds, slight breeze.

I have just tried calling our friend Louise, but there is no answer on her phone line. If I remember correctly, she had some traveling to do this weekend, and she, Molly, and Hank may be on the road. The fact that her phone was ringing gives me hope that all is OK in her neck of the woods.

Temp 84.5°, Rh 44%, Baro 29.88↑. ☺

Sunny with a few scattered clouds.

78° mostly clear. Gonna be another gorgeous one tomorrow.

Thanks for the comments on the pic, everyone.

Candyce - thanks for trying to contact Louise. Hopefully she is blissfully unaware of the storms.

This one WAS a beauty!! Clear, cool and quiet here today....ahhhhhhhh.

A really nice one here, too--didn't realize storm caused so much damage here until I read it in paper today! However, no tornadoes & I'm very glad everyone posting is OK!

aaaahhhhh it was a power puff kind of day today

Nice one, Allison.

62° - great for sleeping in. Going to be in the 80's. A perfect day.

Floggy

Have heard from Louise ...
all is OK!

63 here now with 87% RH, going to be a nice one.

Temp 79.1°, Wind W 0.4, Rh 51%, Baro 29.85↓. ☺

Clear skies, slight haze towards the East.

Nice pic Sherrie!

Not sure how well this panorama I made this morning of today's sky will show up in the forum,.

I took a series of 5 pictures of the backyard sky, and used PhotoShop to Photomerge them into this panorama for you.

I hope you enjoy

Nice job. You have a lot more clouds out there. Clear blue skies mostly with a cotton ball cloud here and there, still some humidity hanging around. Light breeze and sitting on 80 degrees heading towards 88-90.

Hi All! We are ok but we will not have a phone for a couple days. We were away visiting friends in Mass most of yesterday and when we returned we found we had no phone. We did not get the high winds here on Thursday, just torrential rains that made ponds in the yard for awhile. I ran out and dug up my new big caladium bulbs that I just got from Bill. I was sure they'd be mush standing under all that water. They are now drying out in pots.

Glad to see that everyone in NH is accounted for. But WAIT.....has anyone heard from John and Liza?

Whew!!!!!

Hope all dries out well for you ...... :-)

Willie-NICE pic! I haven't seen any postings from John and Liza.
high of 86 today feels damp to me out there.

Good to hear, Louise. Nice shots, all! 82, sunny and 40% RH.

Where is John and Liza, as Louise asked? JWLW

Hee hee! ☺

Nice, compact way to show everything weather, WC! Low 80's, sun, nice breeze today at the farm ---but partly cloudy now, chance of T-storms.

Thanks for the kind words, all ....

if any want to try a panorama of shots, I would happy to PhotoMerge them together for you.

All you have to do is kind of match up your horizon at about the same place in the frame and shoot as many as you need. The program is amazing at putting the pieces together.

nice shots Willie... I would need a tripod for that one

woke up to a light drizzle .... my therm. says 67

Great job, Willie.

I woke up very early this AM, as I had one of the little ones climb into bed during last night's t-storm. How can one very small seven-year-old take up a whole double bed, I wonder?

Anyway, it was still dark and rainy when I got up, but now it's just cloudy and still very wet out there. Currently ...
62° and drizzly
Wind: S at 10 MPH
Humidity: 96%
Dewpoint: 63°
Pressure: 29.80 in. and falling

We have planting to do today. Looks like a perfect day to get that done.

It thundered and lighting from 10:30 - 3:30 AM gosh this has to let up.

Yes. I agree that it has to get drier soon, before all the plants 'rust' away. But, I think, too, that if it gets too dry, again, well ....

We are never gonna get 'perfect' weather. Oh well! That's just one of the things that makes gardening so challenging and so enjoyable.

Some heavy showers this am, some rumbles of thunder but not much. Temp is 70 degrees with little or no wind at present. Maybe some sun this afternoon.

Temp 72.3°, Wind SW 0.2, Rh 63%, Baro 29.67↓. ☺

Rain started ~6:30am, thunder & lightning ending by 7:30am. Total 07" this am. Mostly cloudy now, with what looks like more on the way - judging by the dark clouds making their way here from the ocean coast.

Darn!! A sunny summer day ........

Fair, 72ºF

Thanks everyone, onewish1 ... Candyce!

I didn't use a tripod, it's amazing in how PhotoMerge can match and line up each individual photo. I just tried to keep the grass line in _about_ the same spot of each pic.

One problem I couldn't adjust for was how from left to right, the contrast changes the farther from the sun I snapped. Each picture seemed slightly darker than the next, but I am hard pressed to find the seams where they were put together. I had the camera set to auto exposure.

Willie - that panorama is gorgeous; seamless, even.

Starting our day with T-storms and mostly gentle rain. Had a couple heavy downpours, but very short lived.

71° 90%Rh

Lots of thunder and lightning overnight. Very loud. Got about 3/8 inch. Supposed to get more today.

About to start pouring here now Victor!

...lots of editing work, maybe a fisheye lens is easier. ☺

Good - the more rain, the better, right?

Right!! ☺

Sun made a short lived appearance, back to overcast and dreary again. Temp 79 degrees. Went out to remove some plants that drive me crazy this time of year old salvia that had self-seeded) and heard rumbles of thunder so that was the end of that. I have to edit plants at one of two times. Either I am in a really ruthless mood and its off with their heads or I have to do it when they look really crappy. This of course is not the case when I don't like the bloom or plant habit at all, those I can rip out at any time. :)
