The weather

thecfarm · May 27, 2013, 08:45:32 AM

Finally.I get to say something diffeant, The sun is out nice and bright. ;D Was 38° here last night. I would think some of the low areas might of got a frost. Looks to be a mighty fine Memorial Day.

Probably not in too many places do you see this on the local weather page:

****
Red Flag Warning
Flood Watch
****

The red flag warning is for extreme fire conditions due to relative humidity levels down to 15%. To think, a week and a half ago it was 30 degrees with snow standing on the ground.

clww · May 28, 2013, 08:34:38 PM

I can't recall a red flag warning and a flood watch coinciding.

Raider Bill · May 29, 2013, 09:13:25 AM

Sunny mid 90's slight breeze. Afternoon summer showers have started.

mesquite buckeye · May 29, 2013, 11:37:07 AM

93 and sunny with a hint of smoke from distant fires.

8) 8) 8) The real heat is on the way, saying 104-106 by Saturday, probably 110 in a couple of weeks. Better not pick up a tool without gloves on. 130-140 in the cactus greenhouses. It'll kill you if you don't watch it. Yuk. Good weather for mesquites and saguaros though. ;D

Raining here since about 7 this morning.We got some warm temps coming too this week,85.Kinda on the warm side for this time of year.

Mooseherder · May 29, 2013, 02:43:37 PM

We are drenched and it is still coming down with flood warnings for the area.

ancjr · May 29, 2013, 03:45:30 PM

It's so hot there are no horseflies, hornets, wasps or carpenter bees out.

On that tip, I'm not going out there either! 8)

I see your area is under water Warbird. Hopefully you and family are on higher ground.

clww · May 29, 2013, 04:27:15 PM

It's nearly 90 degrees here, and will be through Friday at The Beach. The ocean temp is still well below 60 degrees, though.

We're doing well here, MH. Thanks. A whole bunch of outlying towns are underwater due to the massive ice jams on the Yukon River.

I'm done with the rain here. It can stop anytime. Farmers haven't hardly gotten anything planted and log supplies are getting low.

Been climbing in and out of hollers and across ridge tops with a back pack sprayer strapped to my back. Not sure who is getting the worst of my eradication efforts. The invasives or me. smiley_tom_dizzy03

That's what I get for waiting until shroom season was over...

mesquite buckeye · May 30, 2013, 01:02:21 PM

Word is ticks are really bad in Missouri this year. >:(

NWP · May 30, 2013, 03:08:43 PM

Yeah. I've had a few on me this year. All crawling at least and not dug in.

I've been using a powered pruning saw on the muscadine, lopers on the honeysuckle and multiflora rose. I will use chemical warefare, I just don't like too. A few small patches of garlic mustard need it.

They're bad here too. Plenty wildlife and "neighborhood dogs" to keep them in circulation, besides the weather.

Today was a little warmer than perfect, but I'll take anything better than yesterday!

thecfarm · May 30, 2013, 09:49:31 PM

I have no idea for sure what the high was today,80?? Sounds good. took a nice cool shower tonight. Summer is here for a few days. back in the 70's by Monday,

justallan1 · May 31, 2013, 09:16:33 AM

I'm about to go nuts with this rain and wind. We're half done branding, but can't finish in the rain. I'm hearing that it's supposed to quit tonight or tomorrow and I sure hope so. The boss just told me he got 4" at his house and I believe it.
I'm definitely ready to get some work done before it warms up.

ND rancher · May 31, 2013, 09:54:22 AM

okmulch · May 31, 2013, 10:00:15 AM

Another round of tornados today. Had 3.5 inches of rain in past 24 hours with another 2 expected tonight. Ponds are full or almost full again, I believe our drought is over for now!

mesquite buckeye · May 31, 2013, 01:28:34 PM

Limited visibility less than 10 miles, rising humidity w SE winds. 100. Monsoon might just come early. ;D

ancjr · May 31, 2013, 03:42:47 PM

Pouring rain!

SwampDonkey · May 31, 2013, 06:31:27 PM

Just got back from the bush camp, around 2:30 pm. Darn near 90 here today. Stiff breeze. Been washing clothes and that hot air blowing on my drying rack only takes about 30 minutes to dry stuff. Tales as long to wash it in the machine. ;D 8)

Only rained Wednesday night, was fog Thursday. Had a hard frost Tuesday morning in the bush. The trees are a lot slower out there than back home. We are all leaved out and apple blossoms all gone and stuff it still just starting in the bush. The spruce and fir are still dormant, except I see flowers on the spruce. Back home my spruce already have 6" of growth. Saw 3 moose, one walked near camp Wednesday night and saw a bear and 2 cubs in another area away from camp. Lots of song birds to put ya to sleep. ;D
