Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

Hammonton got hit pretty good with rain, but not a drop in Shamong.

Got soaked to the bone at my daughter’s graduation in Hammonton. Not a drop at home in Atco though.

Reminds me of mine in 1975. Out in the far fields of Lenape and you could see the thunderstorm coming before the graduation even started. Some spectators started leaving early but most stayed until it started raining and the announcer told everyone to leave. A mad dash for the parking lot and everyone was soaked.

Haven't gone out yet, but looks completely dry and I didn't hear any rain all night.

[edit]Apparently there was some light rain overnight. Just enough to partially moisten the ground, at least it cut down on the dust. But it will quickly dry out in the heat of the day.

Of course, that could change with an extended dry spell, but we aren't there yet.

Apparently, it could change rather quickly. Note the "rapid onset drought risk" shaded area that includes Southern NJ.

We were at our grand daughter's HS graduation and came home to this. No signs of rain or wind.

Ideal weather coming for a forest fire.

According to this map, the Pines will be be just about the coolest place in the whole Northeast this week.

If no wind, looks like the crotch split. Ideally crotches are more than 30 degrees. Less than that and the crotch can easily split.

I prefer the drier weather to the swampy weather. Not a lot of wind with these temps and it's super humid, but at least not rainy.
