| FIRE - Checking on the US Drought Map for our area, as of 09/08, we remained in Category D-3 Extreme Condition. However, I am reporting close to normal at this time as we have received 2.89” of precipitation between 09/08 and 09/12.
ENERGY - Close to normal with several days just above and several nights just above our normal temperatures. However, our precipitation has come during the early afternoon hours into the evening hours, which has provided us ample cloud cover to reduce the intensity of the Sun’s rays during these times.
GENERAL - Fairly close to normal Florida weather with an abundance of Thunderstorms around in the afternoon hours. There has not been a day this week when we have not heard thunder rolling around and observed lightening in the distance. Sometimes,, very nearby. |

| 1.46 inches of rain this week is a blessing. The vegetation is trying to perk up but the heat and dryness has either killed the plants or made them go dormant. The rain was enough to put the moisture together in our fields so I can plant triticale and alfalfa next week. Harvest of the fall crops is underway in this area. The farmers I have talked to are disappointed with the yields. |

| Note: This report is one day earlier than usual because of a scheduling conflict. Conditions are normal for this time of year and most of if not all the brown spots in the yard are now green. The sump pump crock had some water from the 0.77" of rain that was received 3 days ago but has since gone down. There are actually flowers on the strawberry plants which is unusual for this time of year. Very few birds can be heard in the morning, but the bird bath is still being utilized. |

| Conditions here are severely dry. We are far behind the NOAA 30 year "average" and have received less than 1/4 inch of rain this month. Tree and bush leaves are changing due to the season as well as lack of rain. We have noticed several trees showing extreme stress and appear to be dying. The ground is dry and lawns are show yellowing. The Haw River channel flow is very low and beginning to locally show "exposed" river bottom. People continue in their daily routines. Schools in session are restricting sports practice times due to daily heat. We could really use some rain and a break from the this hot, dry summer. |

| Our Hot and Dry weather pattern continued this week with no measurable precipitation observed. The lack of rain has continued to cause stress with the grass and trees in our yard. Next, our area soil conditions remain sandy and dry with no noticeable topsoil moisture observed. Despite our drought conditions, I remain hopeful that rain may occur either tomorrow, or by late next week. Lastly, I haven't noticed very many birds recently, however there have been several grasshoppers and crickets in our yard here lately. There have also been several sightings of Red Wasps and Dirt Daubers as well. |

| At least at my location, no rain for another week -- only 0.05 for the period since July 17...So drought is real here. There have been storms and showers in the area, they just avoid us! Fire is a constant issue - burn bans in place; more attention to watering schedules is promoted. Leaves are falling readily, and lawns are dormant if not watered. Gardens are transitioning to fall crops, but getting them ready is harder working with parched soil. We are ready for a change, especially cooler days! |

Grass has made an improvement with some dry patches of grass greening, but need more rain to take care of the grass in the open. Still a lot of brown grass in yards with little shade. ----- WILDFIRE RISK: with the severe drought we are experiencing, the risk was HIGH for Florence and Dickinson counties and hoping the risk fell a bit with this morning's rain ----- AIR QUALITY: This week excellent no smoke ------TOURISM: Westbound campers I have seen. Still, Older retired seniors towing or driving campers Boat towing up from last week. BUSINESS: Local and regional traffic for construction has been good. Lots of heavy equipment moving through. Various loads of equipment and trailered vehicles. Loggers steady this week. Just one farm machine did I spot. Local contractors, about the same as last week, steady. -----WILDLIFE: Deer are still running around. noticed a few swamp deer as I entered Kingsford on Tuesday along the road. Geese have been flying south in small flocks and noticed various bird species also in flocks stop and rest here before their southern migration and a busy week for birds heading south as a whole. Squirrels and chipmunks are busy gathering for the cold but haven't seen any rabbits. Increase in Bluejays in the yard and the wild turkeys have been busy across the street still. A blue heron flew over my yard and street on Thursday which was cool to see----- PLANTS: I noticed tree tops of some trees changing color. Red, orange and yellow were very noticeable until that strong wind the other day knocked them off and it looks pretty much green again. My red Maple, shedding like crazy and is 1/2 red and leaves dropped about 1/3rd off that tree. Neighbor's birch trees and their leaves turning yellow. Color change has slowed a lot and the Rain has helped that. Marigolds, Lazy susans still blooming, onion plant blossoms died off last week in the shade. Not much color change on the sumacs but the leaves that did are starting to drop off more ----- That's all I have for this week. Enjoy your weekend! |
