| Conditions at station are mildly dry, which is somewhat normal for this time of year at this location. Last significant rainfall was one week ago, and station is currently 0.71 inches below normal. Intermittent thunderstorms have combined with over 14 days of high heat indices to create a slightly dry condition. Lawn is still green, but growth has slowed and cutting hieght will be adjusted up a half inch. The usual ornamental (Mulberries)trees have begun to shed leaves and turn yellow with significant shed. Soil is dry and hard. Oaks are still green. Moss is dry and easily damaged. Reptiles are still plentiful, some amphibians, but snakes are fewer. Creeks and intermittent ponds are drying up. I would only conduct small landscaping burns with great caution. Annual rainfall amounts are still within normal range, but edging downward over past two weeks. Landscaping has weathered the main part of the summer with good results. |

| Over 11 inches of rain fell from July 15th to Aug 10th. This provided enough rain to turn the drought conditions into wet conditions. Now again we have been dry for 8 days. Good chances of rain are in the forecast over the next several days so hopefully we are back to near normal conditions. |

| Heat advisories & storm warnings without fire warnings reflective of recent ground level moisture. Indoor RH peaked at 70% last week. Indoor CO2 at wake-up August 3 through today 61.5 torr {49.1-67.3} median {IQR}. Installed quiet continuous low velocity electric window exhaust fan August 14 which led to indoor CO2 < 50 torr at wake up the last 5 days. Some travel plans altered due to wet trails and storm warnings. Dehumidifier used this week to control indoor air quality/moisture without losing cooling effect of electric a/c. Also implemented continuous 2-inch electric ceiling exhaust fan in restroom this May to control indoor moisture surges and meet building code. |
