| Some soaking rains arrived this week, totaling 2.39". Rainfall for the month so far is 6.05", making the soil surface wet with deeper soil finally receiving a good soaking. And with area waterways above normal, it seems safe to say mildly wet soil conditions have finally arrived. We've had an unusual weather pattern since late winter of bone dry conditions, followed by substantial rains for 2 weeks or so followed by 6 weeks or so of drought like weather. We'll see if this wet weather of late is going to turn dry for a while. The drought monitor map still has my area as abnormally dry but it has improved. Trees are looking great and lawns of course are lush and green and need mowing about every 5 days. Wildlife is kind of quiet out there, especially one unexpected critter that I found lying in the grass not too far from our busy road. I thought it was a mink while others said a young fresh water otter, as there are ponds and a creek nearby. Whatever it was, it was surely a rarity. Seems you can never be sure of what you might find out there. |

Brief off-on power outage that day. No sogginess in low areas. That is not unusual for late August here. Soil remains nice and crumbly when I weed. Temperatures at 7am are mostly in the high 60s low 70s. We had one day of heavy fog (8/20). Mushrooms are popping up again in the yard and field. Swams of barn swallows, chimney swifts, dragonflies, and sometimes bats circle the alfalfa field in early evenings feeding on something. Goldfinches, hummingbirds and numerous butterflies, wasps and bumblebees are visiting the wild flowers. Grass continues to grow fast. Neighboring corn and beans are lush.

| Far drier than the drought monitor depicts. Missed several big rains. Coupled with highs consistently around 100ºF and lows in the mid-70s, evaporation exceeds nearly all the accumulated precip since July 1. Highest Precip event so far was early January with a wet snow eqv. to 1.25", followed by a few .80" rains in May. Just shy of 8" since May 1 and 9.5" for the year. Evaporation has far exceeded rain total.
Buffalograss has been dormant since late June, mainly due to lack of moisture, but the intense heat has exacerbated its dormancy despite occasional precip. Early planted dryland corn may yield a few ears and milo in terrace bottoms, or along the ditch headed out; however, nearly all late-planted corn and milo burnt up a month ago. Hoping El Nino can break the current pattern before the winds of winter arrive. |

| EXTREME HEAT WARNING!
The heat wave and dry weather conditions continued, and forecasters predicted it will persist into the future. Another near miss on Tuesday brought out the garden hoses to run temporary drip lines to the grass growing under large oak trees that were drought-stressed. The cicadas are out in full force in the heat of a lazy orange sunset. In the wooded area behind my home, I saw some wild muscadines that were ripe. They were small due to the lack of rain. Several Gulf Fritillary butterflies have been busy laying eggs on the maypop vines. The vines are putting on new growth only because of the irrigation they have been receiving the past few weeks. Hyacinth bean plants are starting to flower in the heat of summer, and the bees are already buzzing. I saw a black swallowtail butterfly landing on bare soil and lapping water from the irrigation that was just done. The 98°F and 38% rh on Thursday put a cap on the hottest, driest mid-August day that I can remember. But a promising forecast for some rain Friday evening didn’t pan out and gave us a dust settler. |

The amount of precipitation measured was more than the last update of 0.29 inches of precipitation for the previous week of (8/9/26-8/15/26). There was 1.49 inches of precipitation so far that was recorded at station NY-MR-89 for the month of August compared to the normal climatology precipitation at KROC airport for the month is 2.42 inches of precipitation. Conditions have remained the same since the last update from last week with the area seeing less measurable precipitation in the form of liquid over this past week and the area is still remaining drought free. The area is currently considered near normal and conditions had slightly gotten drier than the last update and the ground has remained dried up with no standing water since the last update due to the area receiving more precipitation in the form of rain since there has been a lot of measurable rainfall last month in May, June and July and this had caused the area to receive an abundance of moisture the area had received in the past in general, but the grass is still green and vibrant in the back yard but a couple of brown spots developing in the front yard. The sump pump hasn’t been pumping very much or at all during the entire week despite the ground starting to dry up. Outdoor activities have been OK this week with half of the days this week had dry weather and the other half the days of the week had wet weather despite plenty of dry time this week to walk on local canal path and along with slightly above average temperatures (Sunday) and streams water levels are still holding at low levels along with some seasonably cooler than normal to seasonably normal air in the environment (Monday-Saturday). The air conditioner has been working slightly below average to average for the entire this week due to slightly cooler than normal temperatures during most of the week with some days with slightly above average temperatures (as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit above average for high and low temperatures during the week and as much as 8 degrees Fahrenheit below average for high and low temperatures during the week). The ground has still remained drier this week and the drainage area in the backyard has no standing water. The grass is still green and vibrant with all the moisture that had fallen over this past week along with full foliage on the trees. The front and backyards needed to be hand mowed twice this week along with vegetation such as Dogwoods and trees in the backyard are doing good and some manual watering was needed for a potted plant and Boxwoods for some days this week and the grass is still growing very fast due to abundance of moisture the area received from the past.

We have received multiple training thunderstotms during the past two weeks...and 10.34" (plus a T on 2 days) of rain; 3.19" was from a storm during the overnight period between Aug 19th and 20th.
During this time (Aug 12) we also had a Derecho...with multiple trees and power lines down, nearby tornado (and a vortex of some sort in my Own yard), as well as flooding in the area. (I made several calls to my local NWS with reports, via my SKYWARN connection).
As of now, in my immediate neighborhood, trees have been taken care of and electrical lines repaired.
There is no residual ponding, but the soil is very moist and every time it rains even a little bit, there is immediate ponding in low lying areas.
I haven't observed nearby streams this week, since the storm on the 19th, but when I drove past some on the 16th they were very full and running fast.
Plants and trees are green. There are more fungi of various sorts in my yard and the ground in some areas has more of a moldy smell to it.
During the overnight storm on the 19th- 20th, I happened to look out briefly...and saw a Groundhog Racing up my big oak tree in the front yard! (The ground was quickly flooding everywhere, so he was no doubt scrambling to get away!)

Ash trees are showing quite a bit of yellow, plums and pears are about ready to harvest - maybe a week early. Grass is all dried up. Insects, birds, and animals are quickly attracted to watering. The gardens need daily water. Deer nibbled the blossoms off my potatoes. Blackberries have been plentiful, now quite a few clusters are simply drying up on the vines. Soil that is bare and not watered may be showing cracks. Fire danger is high, and in the afternoons, it is important to be careful with the tools one uses in the forest. A nearby farmer has quit watering his hay and is beginning to put it up - it looks rather short. mornings have been smoky due to the fires up by Ripplebrook, but people have been outside working, exercising, and playing.
