Rain will be the big threat I imagineI wonder how long this upcoming run of tropical activity lasts before we see a lull?

Lol, ever the optimist! If the only thing we get from the mosquito vanishing, is a cool summer, that will be great. My sometime theory is the early end to winter, coupled with the very cool April here, and dry spell thrown it, must have disrupted the life cycle. Maybe Miss Mosquito wasn't in the mood due to the cycle of cads and cold. I'm not complaining so much as just being frightened out of my mind at the anomalyTony,
In a word, we're in for a nice summer for a change. Maybe ... LOL
Best!

Lol, many thanks for the compliment I love to write, and have had some success. Published some short stories. I've been working on a book for about 40 years, lol, but I don't have the discipline for it. I spent my life doing art to avoid having to sit and write, and edit, and rewrite, and type some more...but I do love it in short spurts. I mostly just read though.I have to ask because you are one of the most entertaining posters on these boards. Do you write for a living? BTW, I have seen only a few skeeters here so far but I think up until last week, we had zip water for them to breed in or for dormant eggs or however their sick life cycle works to process in.
So.... it isn't just here beyond the edge of the earth. If they are fleeing the south, shouldn't we follow suit? I can remember when the Tigers first invaded, and it wasn't that awfully long ago. They are the ones that come out in the late afternoon and evenings...the Asian Tigers, and they swarm you....and now I do my walks in the early to late evening, and and nothing. I'm worried that I'll have too much blood in me, and I'll explode from the pressureInterestingly, I don't think I've encountered mosquitos either, but I haven't shifted to full on evening-night walks yet. The bugs are out in full force though and the funny thing with me is until it happens (and knock on wood it never does) I'm NEVER going to be afraid of getting attacked by dangerous animals (and I don't get in water that's not a pool very often anyway) but when it comes to bugs, I'm scared to death.
Landscaper.....Well now, I hadn't thought of that...but I did clean a lot of ivy during the winter. I broke the Snapper twice mowing in the woods, I got so much of it.I've seen very little in the way of mosquito's and other bugs compared to last year... even with yearly pest services/sprays for the backyard I normally still see some while I am out back enjoying the evenings...but so far this year not a hint of anything surprisingly. May also be because I had a landscaper come out and address drainage issues as well earlier this year so now all the water flows into drainage pipes and underground to the street. Still interesting to see others are seeing less though so far this year.
Are you getting them where you are?Maybe mosquitoes are on their way to becoming extinct
NopeAre you getting them where you are?
Going down to near 0 several years running just made them flourish. The cool March/April might just be the key. Now I'm getting all this rain, I wonder if they'll suddenly arrive ravenous, ready to make up for lost time. No mosquitoes in the last weeks of May is making me paranoid, lol.same here... some population issue not related to heat/moisture... maybe the extended cool season in March/April had some lasting effect on overall mosquito population. (to Google...)
Well, then it's the Appockyclipse!!Nope
A cool spring after a warm February sounds like its the winning combination.Going down to near 0 several years running just made them flourish. The cool March/April might just be the key.

That outflow up your way is getting pretty well defined and the heavy rain behind it should give it a decent south west push. Wouldnt be surprised at all to see it kicking off storms here before dark.Backdoor cool front getting active about to get another dousing up this way I believe...
Yeah that outflow boundary looks impressive hopefully it can spark something for you today but if not today maybe tomorrow Wednesday. I actually only picked up .4 at my house today but there's some 1 and even 2 in amounts pretty close by I just drove through some minor flooded roadsThat outflow up your way is getting pretty well defined and the heavy rain behind it should give it a decent south west push.

I actually like tomorrow and Wednesday more down this way with the Piedmont trough being active tomorrow and the backdoor front really getting going Wednesday. Wednesday may just be a decent severe weather day here with dcapes over 1000 leading to a potential wind threat. May see decent hail too in any sustained updrafts.
