| Conditions are still mildly dry after only receiving 0.40” of rainfall this week. The two week total is 1.82”. Temperatures were warm and humid early in the week and a cold front passed on Tuesday evening bringing thunderstorms and cooler than average weather since then. Soil moisture and stream flows are adequate but below average for the time of year as rainfall has been reduced for the last several months. Plant and crop growth is average with lower temperatures this week suppressing higher yields. Cool weather crops are doing well (like ryegrass) but warmer weather crops (like Bermuda grass and tomatoes) are not growing much. There is low fire danger at this time. |

| No rain since last report, but we are just a hair over 37 inches for the season, so we should be good for the summer. Some areas of our gardens are drying out, but other areas still show high ground water levels. The trees are pretty much in full leaf now, and some of the early bloomers, like the native Black Elderberry trees, have set a good amount of berries, so the pollinators have been busy. Heard the first migrant Olive-sided Flycatcher of the season calling this week. Always a good sign that the work we've put into restoring native habitat is working. The farmer's markets are starting up and the tourist traffic is picking up. |

| Since last reported on 04/26/2026, received 0.92" of gauge catch bringing the April gauge catch total to 0.98". This includes 0.7" of snowfall. To summarize April 2026 precipitation, 0.98" is 60% of NOAA normal of 1.62" and 47% of PRISM normal of 2.08". This was a very beneficial precipitation event for us. Topsoil sampled today indicates dry soil on the surface and just below that, the soil is moist down to the 4.0" level. I am able to compact the moist soil, but it barely holds together. Wildlife activity appears to be normal, and I don't recall any new wildfires in our immediate area. More native grasses are sprouting and those that already sprouted are returning to a deeper green color. With nearly an inch of precipitation last week, I am revising the Condition Scale from Moderately Dry to Mildly Dry taking into account our below normal rainfall. |

| It has been dry here, the recent snowfall notwithstanding. Too early in the month to report MTD numbers, but PRISM YTD has me at 43% of normal, and WYTD is at 45% of normal. the month of April I was at 21% of PRISM Normal. The Snowpack SWE also paints a dismal picture with 19% of Median in my 6-Digit HUC and 22% of Median in my 8-Digit HUC. The yard is pretty dry right now with minimal grasses, sedges, and wildflowers coming up and the shrubs are looking pretty stressed. Deer and elk have come through grazing and browsing. Birds are hitting the birdbath regularly. The river gauges I am following all report much lower than normal flows for this date, less than 50% of normal. No new fire restrictions in place in any of the jurisdictions I am covered by. There is a lot of angst in the community about the current dry conditions. |

| Almost 1.5" of rain over the past week has certainly been welcome, but not enough to provide significant relief for our drought conditions. April closed out at only about 39% of average rainfall for the month, and before that March was only about 57% of normal. Still, grass instantly perked up after recent rainfall. Have been seeing young rabbits and plenty of birds. Over 50,000 acres have burned due to south Ga wildfires, but recent rains have helped firefighters start to gain the upper hand.

| April 27 - May 3, 2026: no precipitation. Warming days and nights. Soil in the yard and gardens are drying out and are beginning to need watering in areas with hot sunshine. Trees and plants that had first growth leaves frozen on April 17th (28°F low for the day) are beginning to produce a 2nd round of leaves. Flowers on the horse chestnut tree are just now opening, and the tree is humming with bees and bumblebees. Iris have large but unopened blooms. Chive flowers are opening. Hummingbirds continue to use the feeders, but I haven't seen them closely enought to know if they are Anna's staying late in the season or black chinned arriving early. Grasses in the footihills are tall and green at this point--a potential problem for wildland fires when grasses dry out. NWS 7 and 14-day forecasts show warming overnight and daytime temps. Annual plants have been put in the ground with the hope there will be no additional freezing morning temps in May. |

| General: I still rank us as mildly dry, based on my stats. We should have 1.53" of liquid at this point, and have had 1.78", which is slightly higher. That having been said, we expect to have a total of 18.75" (sd = 6.35) during the water year, and we are currently at 13.94. This puts us close to 1 sd below the mean. We expect another ~4.8" before the end of the water year, so there's hope to get closer to the average if, for some reason, our weather pattern resumes normalcy.
Agriculture: Crops are finally starting to appear.

The water level in the ranch lake is still holding steady at 10% below lake capacity. Historically the ranch lake would have been at capacity by now from winter runoff and spring rains.

We’re still doing okay on the Water Year to date, at 103% of average; only two of the seven months came in significantly below; everything else was close to average or in excess of it. Were it not for the rain received overnight I would be tempted to call things “mildly dry,” and there are some indications of that (soils in the gardens, normally wet spots over on the bog verges) but things still look okay. Everything is green and growing fast. Wildlife activity and pond level are all normal for this time of year. |

| The rain we received last week did little to increase the flow of Bassett Brook but invigorated the new spring growth. At lower elevations, most trees are at least partially leafed out and the spring ephemerals on the forest floor have faded away. At higher elevations, the trees are starting to bud. I have never seen as many Trout Lilies as I saw along the Appalachian Trail south of Mt Greylock. The trail was carpeted on both sides by expanses of green leaves punctuated every couple feet by clusters of the yellow flowers. The first jack-in-the-pulpits are flowering. Marsh Marigolds, wild strawberries and blue and white violets are flowering. Lawns are green and have grown enough to require mowing. Garden soil moisture has been restored and I harvested spinach from overwintered plants. Forsythia is finally fading but dandelions are prolific. Peach and pear trees are blossoming. Greylock hiking and biking trails are clear and dry. |

| My station is in a rather narrow band that is listed by the drought monitor as being "normal". Close by adjacent areas have a D0 rating. Insignificant rain this week hasn't done much to help. Lawns are well on their way to being fully green with most needing some mowing now. Trees are budding out to quickly becoming fully leafed out. We saw our local woodchuck for the first time this week. Hummingbirds and Baltimore Orioles have been spotted nearby. Now if we could just ger rid of the cloud cover and raise the temperatures a bit I'd be happy. |
