 September ended up with under an inch of rain, which is pretty normal for us here on the coast. With the new rain year underway there is no rain forecast for the next week. We had mild temperatures and a bit of fog this week. Some of the spring blooming trees and shrubs have now dropped all of their leaves for the winter and the annuals in the garden are starting to fade. Ocean conditions were favorable for fishing and water sports for most of the week. Lots of visitors in the area beating the heat inland.  View

 Since last reported on 09/13/2026, recorded a total of 0.93" of gauge catch. This was from a Multi-Day Gauge Catch total from 09/19/2026 through 10/01/2026. Topsoil sample taken this morning shows dry soil at the surface, lightly moist soil just below the surface to 1.0", then moderately moist soil below the 1.0" level. This shows a great recovery from last report of Severely Dry. We had a couple of mornings this past week with dense fog and drizzle making everything moist. However, no measurable gauge catch from these events. Observed a couple of coyotes yesterday morning prowling around neighbors back yards. Deciduous trees have begun their leaf color change. Magpies and Finches are the most observed bird since returning home. Some of the grasses turned green from the precipitation received but it won't get tall enough for mowing. Will use the weed eater to cut down grass in the side ditch and that will do it for mowing this season. Temperatures continue to cool with chilly mornings in the 40's. Also, with the additional precipitation, I have paused providing supplemental water for the trees. I haven't heard of any wildfire issues since returning home. This last storm provided a significant amount of snowpack to Pikes Peak and surrounding mountains. Local news reported a cold-weather rescue on the Peak this past week. With the significant precipitation during by absence, I am revising the Condition Scale from Severely Dry to Mildly Dry.  View

 Since my last report on 9/12/26 there has been a total of 7.12" of precipitation. Hopeville Pond is back to about normal. Water supply quality and quantity are good for human consumption. There are fewer animal prints and various birds. The farmers' fields have been harvested. The grass has returned to green and is growing. The campers are clearing out of their camp sites. There are also only a few people still fishing or on the water.  View

 General: I'm calling us near-normal on precipitation, based on our September, 2026 totals. We received 1.14" and expected 1.388" (SD = .92) (6 year average). It's a little low, but easily within one standard deviation. Weather is still warm, of course. We have had a couple of light frosts, but nothing significant yet. Our water-year total is 16.89" (6 year average = 19.24", sd = 19.24") and our water year snow total is 45.9" (6 year average, 107.88", SD = 39.9"). Agriculture: Our neighbors are doing quite a bit of planting right now. Our guess is winter wheat, likely taking advantage of the changing nature of precipitation here. Energy: Still high production/use ratio. We generated 67.33 kWHR yesterday and only used 12.09 kWHR, even with some pretty intense baking in an electric oven. Fire: It feels like the risk is low, but it looked smoky off in the snake river valley yesterday as we went into town. Plants/wildlife: Fall colors are starting to fade. We have some winter birds now. We have chipmunks, which we haven't had in quite a few years. We have a plethora of box elder bugs, which is a cyclic phenomenon. water: Again, we seem to be approaching monthly normalcy, although I continue to be aware of the annual shortage. Every water year is a new water year (see above)!  View

 Last week was a very wet week across this area. With the remnants of Hurricane Polo moving through, lots of heavy rain fell on already saturated soil, leaving flooded fields and creeks. Roadside ditches still remain filled with standing water. What little harvest that had started has completely stopped as farmers wait for the saturated ground to dry out. The Green and Rock Rivers remain very high with a slight rise of the Mississippi. This station received 2.71" of rain during the 44-hour period the rain moved through. Some nearby areas received much more. Things should dry out this week as the forecast is for sunny conditions with highs in the low to mid 70's with no rain. Hummingbirds have migrated as I have seen no action at the feeders for a week.  View

0.71” rain late this week. Creeks a trickle, ponds still low. Dry conditions earlier made walking across the grass like walking on a coarse scrub brush. Friday's rain soaked in fast; by Saturday afternoon we could hardly tell it had rained. Saw one more bean field coming down, only one corn field still standing. Lots of porch-sitting this week. Odd – pears and apple tree put out a few blooms. The weather must've tricked them. Color on the maples advancing quickly, sumacs turning red. Nuts thumping down from the walnuts. No deer or turkeys, but plenty of squirrels and pileated woodpeckers. A bald eagle visited a walnut tree in our front yard (photo attd). A few hummingbirds still visiting.  View

 7.56” in the preceding week, bringing the ‘25-‘26 Water Year to a close on a juicy note. This station received a total for the WY of 63.23”, which is 13.73” above PRISM average (representing 127.7% of average). Quite the contrast to ’24-’25, in which we had a deficit to average of 12.75” for the WY and was only 74% of normal. Mother Nature loves her averages! We’re now into what many locals consider the best time of year for the Cape – cool nights, warm days, color changes, quieter roadways. Lawns are lush; ornamental and veggie gardens are waving the seasonal white flag, fall flowers and leaf color changes abound. Pond level remains slightly above normal due to the Nor’easter – although it wouldn’t surprise if they added another control board to the outflow sluice in anticipation of the cranberry harvest. Wildlife activity appears normal. Shouldn’t be too much longer before the ducks begin their return and the swans get busy chasing transient Canada geese out of the neighborhood.  View

 I missed last Sunday's report but can tell you that it was pouring rain. We received about 5.5" of rain over 3 days. That was good as it allowed the soil to absorb it rather than have it run off. The result was no water in my basement sump and green lawns outside. Streams are running above normal as the water drains off. Wildlife is still in transition from summer to winter. Those that sleep winter away are still mostly active as they prepare. Migrating birds have left but the incoming winter birds haven't quite arrived yet.  View

 This week began with the first nor'easter of the season. We received 6.73" over several days. The storm did much to reduce drought conditions throughout the state. I think the central Mass area has been designated normal again. The water table got high enough to bring a little water into the cellar through the sump hole - it was gone a few days later. Other than small twigs and leaves left behind the trees survived the strong steady winds well enough. (The entire storm brought a total 6.98” - not reported that way because it would change the Sunday through Saturday collection period.) Warnings are up that the first frost of the season may affect some areas this week. It's time to bring in the last of the house plants. My heirloom tomato plants still have good sized tomatoes that have not ripened yet (and lots of small ones). I'll cover them but I may have to hope they fully ripen on the windowsills. Fall foliage reports are up but this area is nowhere near peak colors yet. Dogwoods and swamp maples are showing colors, and what few sugar maples still exist are starting to show their brilliant reds. It will likely be a couple more weeks before we reach the peak of the season. The last flowers in my pollenator garden are nearing the end and bumblebees and a few others continue to gather up every bit of pollen they can but the level of activity lessens a little more every week now. Apple and pumpkin displays are showing up at most farm stores now - tis the season. And that includes many fine days of cooler temps, clean crisp air and tourists out "leaf-peeping". A wonderful time of year!  View

 This week closes with pleasant but mildly wet conditions due to a drying trend broken by 1.46 inches of rain that fell over a two-day period near the end of the week. Lawns are retaining a lush, green springtime appearance that still require mowing. At the same time, prairie grasses are golden and a few trees are in the early stages fading or showing vivid color; more leaves are on the ground. The corn is brown and some fields are now plowed under for the season. Concord grapes are ripe and Niagara grapes are just beyond their peak. Apple orchards are doing a thriving business with tourists and roadside farm stands are full of local produce. All forms of autumn outdoor activities are in full swing. Year-round resident birds are curiously absent from the feeders; a few show up occasionally but well below normal numbers. Daytime highs have reached the mid to upper 60s and overnight lows have touched the lower 40s. Humidities remain high but have moderated from the past several weeks.  View

October welcomed us with a little Rain Shower, and much cooler air, with Temps dropping into the 40’s and warming into the 50’s. Light Winds seem to build through the day, then calm overnight. Leaves continue to noticeable change color with some trees dropping them at a faster pace. While drought conditions remain, the ground cover stays a little moist from the random Showers along with traces of dew and some mornings of Fog. Forecast: A bit of a warm spell with high’s reaching upper 70’s, and briefly dipping into the 40’s overnight. Mostly Sunny skies with no Rain expected. Looks like a beautiful Fall week ahead.  View

 The weekly precipitation totaled 1.95 inches of rain. Now that we are entering into a transitional period (fall), the weather can vary quite a lot from day to day. Monday, September 28th was a very nice and comfortable air day with a dewpoint that did not exceed 54 (wind out of the NNE). Tuesday began at 58 degrees and then soared to 94 by the afternoon (calm wind). A return to humid air (dewpoint in the mid 70s) allowed the 94 degrees reached Thursday to feel like the lower 100s (though a South wind gusting over 30 at times helped to alleviate some of this heat). Friday was again humid with showers and thunderstorms in the area. One heavy thunderstorm downpour (though I don't recall any lightning during it) dropped all the reported weekly rain in about an hour and most of it in around 15 minutes. This downpour caused water to collect in our field bottoms. Yard and native areas are still firm and full of cracks, but vegetation is no longer stressed. The rain on Friday was hit or miss throughout the local area. Some areas received little to nothing while other areas saw over 2 inches of rain. As a whole, it is still very dry. Slower rains will be needed to recharge soil moisture adequately. The water year ended this past week with this station down 12.94 inches according to NOAA and down 14.39 inches according to PRISM. That's 76 or 74 percent of normal respectively for the water year here. That is a significant amount.  View

 Sticking with Near Normal this week because conditions are relatively unchanged. Temps continue to trend generally lower. The risk of our first frost looks higher for the week ahead. Things in the garden continue to wane except for the asters and sedum which are now in full bloom and the nut trees which are now approaching full ripeness (the black walnut has been producing nuts for a while, the chestnut has only had the earliest nuts ready). Many Canada geese on migration and I heard, for the first time, howling (not yipping) at dawn. Not sure if that is coyotes or simply our local wild dogs, coydogs. Allergies are on the increase with stuffiness becoming much more frequent. In all, we have two comforts. First, more and more colorful leaves tumble past on the streets and lawns. Second, soup season is nigh and it is needed to warm against the cool, dare I write chill, in the air. Halloween decorations will start soon.  View

 Congratulations CoCoRaHS for breaking the reporting record on 10/1 with over 18,500 submittals in a single day!!! Rainfalls: This week 0.40”, last week 0.90”. With only 0.40” of rain this week, the ground conditions here have remained mildly wet. Kneeling on the lawn yields soaking wet knees. The trails in the woods are still muddy but there isn't any standing water to be seen. The creek level is slightly above normal and flowing. The couple of Maple trees, which are the first to show bright colors, are turning bright red. Low nightly temperatures have dipped into the upper 40s and are leaving quite a bit of dew on the ground which takes until early afternoon to dry out (if there's no rain). The lawn needs to be mowed at least weekly. There's no browning of the lawn yet this season. The vegetable garden is finished producing with all but the potatoes left to harvest. It was a good producing garden this season needing only a minimal amount of supplemental watering.  View

 We have received 2.51 inches of rain in the past two weeks and that has made a lot of difference in the appearance of plants, lawns, etc. Before those rains, it was so dry that a person couldn’t dig a hole to plant something and the lawns were all brown since most of the neighborhood didn’t waste water on grass. I am hoping to plant some things to replace what the squirrels have killed and now that we have some moisture in the soil and cooler temps they might do okay. We had been under a burn ban here in Delaware County, OK but that was lifted a couple of days ago. Now those of us who live on Grand Lake and still have wood washed up on their property (like myself) can get after it again.  View

 Rain for week ending early this Sunday of 0.79" came mostly early and below the normal of 1.1 inch. September ended with 5.34" which virtually matched the norm of 5.26". The 2025-2026 water year ended at 40.40" which is 12.39 below the 1991-2020 30-year average of 52.79" and became a new record low WY total in 44 years of record which beat 40.74" from 1991-1992. A slightly wet August/September prevented this WY from being much less. Nevertheless, very large long-term deficiency continues. Therefore, selected Mildly Dry for the categorical condition. Long hot and dry periods this growing season might be cause for some tree foliage to change to autumnal colors earlier than average.  View

 0.01” for this week at this station. A dry and somewhat hot week. Despite cloudy days during the week several days were quite hot. Seems that now a cold front is creeping our way bringing some more milder weather with it. Some areas of drought are beginning to get much better with shrinking areas of severe drought while we remain in moderately dry conditions over this area. The hummingbirds have staked out their own feeder on the garden and are constantly fussing with each other about that as they try to sample each others feeder. Some deer sightings as they move about. A rabbit has taken up residence in the garden and has raised two babies it keeps an eye on, all hiding out under the bushes. My tulip trees had started dropping leaves in a big way, always the first to drop as fall arrives while the other trees hold out for a while longer. Well, all for now. Stay safe and get outside when you can and be sure to mind the weather.  View

 With only 0.40” of rain in the past week, and all of that falling yesterday (Sat Oct 3) and early today (Sun Oct 4), York County, South Carolina remains in a “Moderately Dry” condition. The U.S. Drought Monitor map concurs with a D1-Moderate Drought Intensity, although points just west of my location are at a D0-Abnormally Dry Intensity. Despite well over 3” of rain from the previous week, the drought intensities did not drift that much. The lawn has greened up some, but with little growth. Leaf drop from heat/drought stress — which has been ongoing since mid-August — continues, while some tree species are just beginning to show some fall color. Area lakes remain roughly 3-4 feet below normal. Rainfall year-to-date is 7.37” below normal. Compared to last year, rainfall is down 10.75”.  View
