| City of Conway, AR has implemented water rationing due to low level of the cities water source Brewer lake. Several counties in Arkansas are experiencing elevated fire risk and have battled several wild fires this year. The state experienced a 10 day streak of temps above 100F which is second longest compared to a 15 day streak in 1980. |

| Sept 9 - 16, 2026: no measurable precipitation. Cooler temps during day and night now. Not watering yard areas as much as earlier in the summer, but areas under mature, large trees still need more frequent water. Acorns are falling from the oaks but are nearly done. That's very early for oak tree acorn drops. The horse chestnut tree is dropping a few seed balls. The tree is loaded with the large, bright green, sharply spiked seed balls. Might have to put a BEWARE FALLING CHESTNUT BALLS sign along the front sidewalk. Anna's hummingbirds are definitely using the sugar water feeders. In the cooler weather, the feeders are being refilled every other day and are not in the direct sunlight. Upper Boise River reservoirs are being rapidly drawn down. Bears are coming down into urban areas searching for food because the summer drought and heat and/or large wildfires dried up much of their food sources at higher elevations. |

| Plants and vegetables have been suffering most all summer and have watering every few day to keep them growing. There are cracks wide enough to stick your fingers in to your knuckles. i dug a hole six inches deep into hard pack soil, temperature at the bottom was 79 degrees. |

| Noticeable impact of shorter and cooler days, so I have cut down lawn watering in half. 1.35 in of rain two weeks ago has generated some green in the unwatered field. Kept the condition "Mildly Dry" as rainfall since has been minimal and it is drying out again. |

| Nice balance between rain and sun. Days generally dry, low humidity and nights are getting chilly. Spoke too soon about the grass; yellow nutsedge has moved in and is "growing like a weed" keeping the mowers busy. Streams continue to be flowing well but not high. |

| Mostly sunny and warm with light winds, then mostly cloudy and warm overnight with moderate winds and rain. The high temperature was around seventy two degrees, and the low around sixty one degrees Fahrenheit. Songbirds are eating a feederful every other day. Goldenrod, Prunella vulgaris, Soapwort, Chickory and Horse Nettle flowers are in full bloom. Apples are ripening, walnuts are 2" big. All corn have cobs from 6" to 12". A fifth cutting of hay is occurring. Blackbirds are beginning to flock. A few Black Cherry trees and spare other trees leaves are beginning to change color. The local intermittent stream is dry and the nearby trout stream is flowing at late-summer levels. |

| I have received no rain this September. Afternoon temperatures have been brutal compared to previous summers. So far this summer, I have had 39 days greater than or equal to 95F versus 22 in 2025. In addition, I have had 8 days over 100F versus one in 2025. Pastures are brown and dry. The burn ban remains on. The Blanco River in Wimberley is flowing at 6.9cfs, well below the 25th percentile of flow for the 99-year period of record. Groundwater from Jacob's Well is zero. |
