| We are at 8.51” for the calendar year and 9.99” for the water year, 61% and 59% respectively. We continue to have highs in the 90s. Trees are beginning to drop their leaves. There is and will continue to be significant tree mortality from this long term drought. I planted perennials in my yard this weekend, and the soil was the driest I have encountered in 20+ years at this house. Plants in the open space look terrible. Everything is dry dry dry dry dry dry. |

| Aug.31 - Sept 8, 2026: Finally!! a change in weather patterns! Storms moving through the area each day since Sept. 1 with usually brief rain showers, usually in late evening and/or overnight. A total of 0.46 inches measured from Sept. 2 - 7 with 0.14" and 0.15" measured on Sept. 4 & 5th. Most showers did not get sidewalks and yard wet under large tree canopies. Rains during days and nights of the 3rd and 6th (measured the next AMs) were heavy enough to soak under even the largest trees and result in flow in the street gutters....also enough to flush months of dust/smoke/aphid dew from tree canopies to vehicles ! Days and nights are cooler.--- days in 50's and 60's and lows in upper 40s low 50s. Took the window air conditioner out on Sept. 7th. No hot days (upper 90s) forecast for the next few weeks into September. Daisy flowers in the gardens are going by. Grapes are getting ripe. Grass in the yards is growing rapidly in the cooler, sunny days. Birds are busy at the feeders. Summer heat and drought in the mountains has dried up food resources for some wildlife, and bear, deer, elk, moose etc are already moving to lower elevations to find food. We have gone from endless days of dry, sizzling summer weather to cool, wetter fall weather in just a few days. Upper elevations are getting rain and occasionally snow. There is concern in areas burned by wildfires this year and recent years for flash flooding and debris flows if rains are intense enough. |

| Grass is green in about 3/4 of the areas and brown in about 1/4 of the areas. Rainfall has been relatively light over the last 3 weeks. Will likely get back to normal by Thursday based on national weather service forecast. The vegetation is only mildly effected by this relatively dry period. The rains a few days ago helped some. 2.19" on the gauge during the past 30 days which is well above the D0 threshold of 1.00" which only indicates slight dryness in my local area. No signs of drought as only patchy areas of grass show brownness. |

| The higher than normal temps have stressed the trees to the point that they are prematurely dropping leaves. Grass has gone into late summer slump. Ticked off 14 days without rain during this mostly 100 degree stretch. New grass seedlings and sod are failiing unless watered constantly to keep the soil cool. Corn harvest is in full swing now, yields are variable but all indicators point to lower yields than 5 year average. Sunflowers have done well. Water levels are still good. Fire risk crept up to moderate even with recent rainfall. Land work continues unabated. |
