I tried blowing up the above image but whatever... Put on a pair of specs to see it.

We are heading to SC this weekend for vacation. We're hoping for a tropical system-free week. What do you guys think? We're going to Garden City Beach, about 30 mins south of Myrtle Beach.

There is a low in the Gulf that only has a 20% of development into a tropical system. However, rainy and cloudy impacts with breezy conditions will be the rule as the low moves across FL thru this weekend and into the SW ATL by early next week per the NHC's website.

Had to break out the sprinkler for the lawn today. Starting to see a few patchy brown areas in full sunshine spots. Shaded areas as always no problems. It is amazing but the ground is cracked and bone dry here. Not good for it being only late May. Hope to see the precip come or a change to cooler temps if it's going to remain dry. Either one would be helpful.

Drove by a hospital today that grass is almost completely dormant out front. No shade whatsoever. It doesn't help that the sun reflects of it thousands of windows too. Some clients yards are starting to get crispy too. I can't recall the last time it has been this dry this early in the season.

Same here , I don't recall it being this dry in May and for an extended period. Already watering plants and shrubs, never moved the height of cut on lawn mower this early before but I did that too, Never called into action this early the bucket brigade off the garage roof ,

I'm doing the same thing as you. Except for the bucket brigade. Not even sure what you doing with that.

CVG hit 86 today. I hit 87. Warmest so far of 2023. I see a couple of 90s in my future.

CVG reached 86 and both DAY and CMH had 87.

Radar looked that way several hours ago. Everything remaining W of I-65 where the deeper moisture is. We are just too dry here.
