| FIRE - The Drought Map for Florida as of June 26 shows us at D-3 EXtreme Drought. However, the last 7 day Precipitation for us is 1.76” of rain. This should help us get out of the Drought Extreme Category and start to lessen our Fire Hazards.
ENERGY - The last seven days has put us in Normal Temperatures both day and night. Previously, as reported, our night time temps were 4-10° above normal. We’re closer to normal.
GENERAL - Rain has come down! And it looks like our forecast for the next 10 days puts us BACK into a normal Summer Pattern of Showers and/or Thubndeerstormsl during the afternoon and early evening hours. |

| Conditions here remain severely dry. Today the 250th Anniversary of Independence will be as hot as the proverbial firecracker. Yesterday's high temperature here was 105 F at 34% humidity. Today may hit 110 F as extreme heat continues through to Monday. Heat advisories and stage 1 and 2 water use limitations have been issued in the Piedmont. Cooling stations for those in need have opened. Fire danger remains high. Local reservoir water levels are dropping. Lake Jordon, our major reservoir, water levels declined to the point where people can walk out into the former lake. We have curtailed outdoors activities until the heat wave breaks. The forecast for next week calls for lower temperatures, albeit above the "normal" high temps. No rain in sight. Nevertheless 4th of July Celebrations will take place throughout the region. |

Creeks have stagnant water making it difficult on wildlife - high stress in all areas and I see D4 back in our area very soon.

| Extreme heat over the past week made for less landscaping and mowing. While the grass showed little growth, the dandelions kept up their normal pace. Wildlife was also subdued by the heat with shaded napping being what most animals chose to do. Last night's rainfall (0.13") helped a bit, but not a whole lot. We missed the bigger storms yesterday as they were further north, but more storms are predicted for today. River traffic other than barges was more active this week with personal craft being the most active, Not sure if it was to beat the heat, the fireworks, or just holiday celebrations. Hopefully some improvements this coming week. |

| A very scattered 0.31” of rain this week and only 7” since April 1, leaves conditions at moderately dry. The Pascoag Reservoir maintained its depth at 8’5”; still a little low for the Fourth of July but at least it’s not dropping. Outdoor water activity like boating, fishing, tubing are all at a high level with the holiday weekend and extreme heat. Water temperature in the lake was up to 85.5F yesterday which is really high. It can’t be good for the wildlife but it’s really nice for swimming and floating. With the light periodic rain for the last 2 weeks, the lawn has perked up a little and started growing again in some areas. Hostas and hydrangeas are starting to bloom and day lilies would also be blooming if the deer didn’t eat all the buds this week. Hummingbirds, red winged black birds, blue birds and sparrows have all been active as have squirrels and rabbits. Local hiking trails continue to be very dry. Happy Fourth of July everyone! |

| No rain for two weeks now --and normal Texas summer temps are drying us out fairly quickly. Grass still green, but not growing as much; gardening needs irrigation now (but mostly going into summer dormancy) Fire danger high again, though burn bans have not been prominent yet.
Today is the one year anniversary of the horrible Hill Country floods in Kerr County, which drifted to Williamson and Travis Counties the next day. Our eastern part of the county only got 5-6 inches, but the western edge got up to 20". The only benefit was that lake levels locally rose from serious drought conditions, and presently are "full" for the first time in years, and watering restrictions are lowered.
For an interesting comparison of how a short distance matters in rainfall, check this report (I have had just 20' this year) against the Travis condition report in Leander (20 miles west of mine, and reporting over 26" for the year!) |
