🌱 US Weather Warriors GrowCast — Monday, July 27, 2026
Rain, thunderstorms, and wet ground sharply limit field and garden work across Delmarva today.
Today's Weather Snapshot: Delmarva temperatures range from 69°F to 83°F. Rain chances reach 68% to 89% across the region. Thunderstorms are possible, with elevated storm risk. Winds run near 10 to 18 mph. Morning relative humidity ranges from 83% to 93%.
Soil & Recent Rainfall: Two-inch soil temperatures range from 70.6°F to 76.8°F. DEOS stations recorded 0.00 to 0.04 inches in the past 24 hours. Wet ground is the main soil-access concern today.
Best Outdoor Work Window: Skip today — rain, thunderstorms, wind, and poor soil workability leave no dependable work window.
Planting & Transplanting: Delay planting and tender transplants until the weather trend improves. Soil temperatures are warm enough for warm-season crops, but wet conditions are not suitable for planting.
Watering & Irrigation: Hold off on watering until the rain trend passes; soils may already be wet.
For Gardeners: Avoid setting out tomato, pepper, and squash transplants today. Keep an eye on supported crops and containers in gusty winds. Hold mowing and lawn renovation where ground remains wet.
For Farmers & Growers: Keep equipment out of wet fields to prevent compaction and rutting. Delay spraying where winds near 10 to 18 mph and thunderstorms reduce application windows. Stay flexible on hay, silage, and field access.
Looking Ahead (6-10 day signal): The 6–10 day outlook favors below-normal temperatures and above-normal precipitation, with no drought reported in Delaware, Maryland, or Virginia.
Bottom Line: Treat Monday as a weather hold day and wait for firmer ground and a clearer storm break.
