| Well our NWS forecast for rain during the week was right again, as this area did receive rain, a grand total of 0.05". And while areas not too far away received a whole lot more, our persistent drought like pattern remains unfazed. Currently, soil conditions are close to severely dry but with area waterways still not super low, it seems moderately dry conditions remain. Trees are definitely wilting and in need of a good soaking while the invasive, tenacious and ever pertinacious, Morrow's honeysuckle continues to thrive. Meanwhile, my lawn is in need of watering as numerous areas are turning brown. As the years go by, it seems like I need to water my lawn more and more often. I did see a pleasant sight the other day when a fawn was browsing close to the house and then later on in the yard. It was pretty big but still had spots. The mother was nowhere to be seen which surprised me but the fawn appeared to be doing well on its own. Finally, I surprised a chipmunk that had gotten into my garage the other day that then hid in some old firewood in the corner. I told it to go back outside and low and behold, it actually listened to me and did just that. Now, to test out my new found ability on my better half. |

Also, many pollinators sighted including hummingbirds.

| Conditions in our immediate region are currently moderately dry. This is because we have received over 6 inches of rain in the past week. However the State of NC is still classified as in severe drought. Our stage 2 water use restrictions are still in place. NC is still well behind the NOAA 30-year average for the water year. Our "no burn" restrictions are still in place but the rain has provided a good wetting of the duff. Lawns and gardens have "greened up" and the soils are moist. Our silty/clayey soil desiccation cracks are disappearing. People are out walking between showers and the cars are getting a good rinse. Small streams and creeks are flowing again and the Haw River has a noticeable increase in flow. |

Deer are roaming our neighborhood and have been nibbling the tops of our cherry tomatoes. Catbirds, hummingbirds, waxwings, warblers and mallards have been frequent visitors this week.

| “Severely Dry” this week for the reasons listed below, even though we as yet have no water use restrictions. Temperatures have been quite hot. Except for 0.03” in a quick shower late this morning, no measurable rain for the last 10 days. 41 wildfires across S.C. per S.C. Forestry app, most in the S and E parts of the state. Bushes and small trees along roads in Sumter and Lee counties, plus along I-95, seem to be dying and have turned brown. At first thought that this may have been weed killer spray, but some vegetation around these trees/shrubs is still green. Plus these dead trees are in patches, not in a continuous length. Lower branches of some larger trees also appear to be turning brown and dying. Local river birch trees are dropping yellow and brown leaves. Young corn in Lee and Sumter counties has patches of brown and stunted corn scattered through the green areas. ALL local roadside swamps and ditches are now dry, with zero standing water. Even the swamps that never seem to go dry. Local non irrigated lawns turning brown, some with bare spots. At Poinsett State Park today (Friday), the main wide spillway was mostly dry (see photo). While the lake’s release valve was partially opened, it was also open last week and the spillway at least had a curtain of water all the way across. Many spiders on webs in the park, this should help with the many mosquitos. Many squirrels in the park. The “Healing Well” artesian well on US Hwy 15 just across the Lynches river (which was down 3-4 feet from normal) N of Bishopville was totally dry today with zero water flow (see photo with horizontal pipe from stone support). Have not seen this well dry in the last 20+ years. A neighbor born in 1947 grew up in that area, and said he’s never seen that well go dry in his life. This well is normally used by many people for drinking water, and almost always has a line of people waiting to collect water. At Lee State Park today (Friday) the lake was down approx a foot (see photo). Two of the park’s four artesian wells (the two by the lake that drain into the lake) were totally dry (see photo). Park staff is closely monitoring fish for lake oxygen levels. The park’s boardwalk into the swamp now shows a totally dry area around the boardwalk, with no water visible. Many spiders on webs noted in the park. A stream that is always running under the park’s road leading to the primitive camping area is now totally dry. First time I’ve seen this stream dry in the past 20+ years. From Data Explorer: July rain total: 1.63” (-2.43"/40% of NOAA Normal). Yearly total: 14.54” (-11.50"/56% of NOAA Normal). Last 30 days: 1.83” (9.99” NOAA Normal). Last 90 days: 8.50” (16.70“ NOAA Normal). |

| A week of no rain and temperatures in the high-90s has resulted in a lot of drying out. However, there are still ponds of water in the fields and runoffs that are normally dry still have running water in them. The level in the Llano River is dropping rapidly but is still high. The USGS reports the Llano River at Hwy 87 is flowing at 746 cfs vs the 53-year median of 105 cfs. Vegetation is still green and growing when it is normally turning yellow or brown by this time of year. There are no burn bans in effect. |

Busy local traffic week cars and trucks going about their business now that that smell is gone and smoke high in the air not many boats towed this week-----Plants are doing well despite the lack of rain but the grass is browning up pretty quickly. Onion plants are really flourishing and those buds growing well. Some daisies are still flourishing and black eyed susans are as well in yellow, orange and pink. The Red maple I have is 25% red leafed. Deer have been clinging to the shoreline with a lot of fawns keeping cool. ----- Whelp, that's all I have. Enjoy your weekend. |

| For week of 19-25 Jul: (41.0+ 1.0+ 0+ 2.0+ 25.0+ 9.0+ 0)= 78.0mm. Near Normal. High's: +20 to +24C Hx +28C; Low's: +17C to +8C; Wind: Mostly light SV, gusts to 52km/hr during rain storm; Dew: 2 med, 1 heavy. This past week was wet. But due to previous 0m rain for two weeks, 78.0mm this week soaked in. We had two lengthy rain storms, each spanned a day, overnight, next AM. There were temporary puddles, but no run-off. Creeks, streams and marshes got a boost. Lots of wind during one rain, blew the rain around. The deer have it right--they relax on the grass, in the rain. You can see the improvement in shrubs, trees and plants. They are back to lush and vibrant. The deer get a buffet. During all of this precip, we had mist, drizzle, rain, and fog. And lots of humidity. During the 25.0mm rain, walking outdoors was like walking into a sauna. And stating a Capt Obvious--tourism lightened during the rains, as did the NS Power overhead work on Peggy's Cove Rd. They are making very good progress. Last note, NS Burn Ban map is currently ALL GREEN. (The Mooseland Fire is being held). |
