| We have received 1.17 in. of rain this week with some of that coming from thunderstorms. It has been a very active thunderstorm year, and the storms this year seem to have more lightning. It has been cooler this week and still humid with my clothes not drying on the line after being out all day. Not much wildlife moving around. Vegetation is still lush and I might have to mow the yard this weekend. Cicadas have been loud this week and I have seen dead ones on the porch. It is starting to feel like the beginning of fall, but I can't tell if it is from the cooler weather, or the fact that Halloween decorations have been in some stores since July and everything pumpkin spice is coming out in stores and restaurants. |

| Grain Harvest is on the way with most producers already in the field, all reporting dust as a problem. Have had no significate rain fall in weeks. Area in a d-2 drought conditions. Dust and smoke are filling the air on days with no to little wind. Tempatures seem normal, with dew on vehicles in the early morning hours only. Very little green left, and only in yards with sprinkler systems. Water areas have shunk in size greatly and even Lake Sakakawea showing moderate low levels. Boat docks have had to have modifications to them for continued use or closed all together. |

| Reflecting the benefit of periodic rains, lawns and crops have begun to grow - a seasonal lag for crops. Rivers remain low and concerns for groundwater, personal and agricultural wells remain. Restrictions in incorporated areas remain in place. |
