Water Supply & Quality
 Very similiar conditions to this time last year, as rainfall since lte August has been minimal. Intermittent showers have not been significant enough to change soil or vegetatitive conditions. Lawns are brown, and have ceased growth. Even centipede grasses are starting to turn dormant. Leaf shed is normal, temperatures seem higher than last year, based on electric usage. Soil is very hard, dry and due to heat, evaporates rainfall quickly. I have avoided outside burns for second year in a row, trees are too stressed. Wildlife, especially deer, seem to have changed their feeding locations and patterns. Creeks and small ponds are drying, if not already dried out. Rainfall has been limited to sporadic localised storms of short duration, so conditions may vary across counties. Heat has definitely affected my outdoor work and hobbies, especially yardwork, and daytime outdoor activities. Tree leaves are turning as usual.  View

 Rain has again been spotty this week, but at the station only a trace was received. This had led to more dust activity and a slightly higher fire risk. However, plants remain green except in shallow soils and in the vicinity of trees (which draw up more water).  View

The bike tour company my son works for continues doing tours on the Redwood Coast, with a fully booked week ahead. He's personally given 122 tours this year in Prairie Creek State Park and Avenue of the Giants. And they are already getting bookings for next year, including some cruise ships that will visit Eureka.

 No rain again this reporting period. Several warm sunny days and then the return of marine layer overcast and fog. Ocean conditions were generally favorable for fishing and water sports. Still lots of visitors in the area, but some RVs have left and sport boats are being pulled out of the marina for winter storage. Looks as if some of the summer bird migrants are starting to leave. Watching for the first big flock of juncos to arrive for the winter. The farmers markets are selling late summer produce and winding down.  View

 We have been in a drought this entire water year. I have not missed a single observation, and we are closing in on 10.19” for the water year, with ten days left. This is 58% of normal. What these numbers don’t describe is the impact of months and months of relentless high temperatures, far above long term norms. Soil water content is essentially nothing. The wildflower season has been a complete bust. Trees are dying or dropping their leaves early. Wells are drying up. If anything, the last couple of months have been even worse than the ongoing year long catastrophe. We have received 0.37” of precipitation this month, mostly in amounts less than 0.05”. This is 39% of average. We are at 8.71” for the calendar year, 60% of average.  View

 With today's rain (abut a quarter-inch) and a total of a bit more than an inch since the last report, conditions as this report is submitted are mildly wet. State Forestry now is issuing fire-danger reports weekly on Wednesday, and the most recent rating is Low. Depth at nearby Mansfield Hollow Dam is in the normal range. Local summer fruit/vegetable season at local farm stands is winding down, with peach and corn seasons about ended, tomatoes still plentful, with fall lettuce now starting. Animal activity remains brisk, as does patronage of local businesses. Lawns and leaves now are still nearly all green, as summer flowers begin to fade.  View

General: We're getting some moisture relief, so I've backed my drought assessment to reflect this. We're currently at .97", with an expected rainfall for September of 1.355 (sd=.937). We're definitely closing on our average. The result is less fire danger. We had a great storm on Sep. 18 see photo from my friend, Rose in Pocatello), with lots of cloud-to-cloud lightning and good rainfall. Agriculture: A sigh of relief as we get some ground moisture for next year's crops. Energy: Still in the positive energy stage of the year, with 52.50 kWHR generated and 14.99 kWHR used. We had partial could cover, but also didn't have to use heater or air conditioner. I did bake, however! Fire: Definitely a safer period. I'd say mild risk, considering moisture and cooler weather. I don't see any fires in the area right now. Plants/wildlife: A sigh of relief with the cooling temperatures. We saw an immature bald eagle (or Golden eagle). We suspect it's a bald eagle as it was flying from an area up-mountain that we've seen bald eagles before (suspected nesting site). The beavers on Buckskin are starting to rehabilitate the pond the Bannock County Roads and Bridges crew destroyed in the summer. Hummingbirds have moved on. Water: Again, we're on a slight up-tick, with September approaching 6-year normal.  View

 It is wet! With 4.32" of rain in the last 48 hours, there is standing water in the low spots of my yard and ditches are full. There is also standing water in the nearby field. It feels like it has rained nonstop for the last two days with some very heavy down pours. It continues to rain as I make this report. All To Dates are on the plus side with September at +4.44" of NOAA Norm. Corn harvest has started for some farmers and beans continue to dry down, with most nearby fields having yellowed. Area rivers are on the rise with flood watches in effect for both the Mississippi and Rock Rivers. The Mississippi River is expected to hit near moderate flood stage of 15.9 ft by Tuesday in Rock Island, and the Rock River is expected to hit near major flood stage the same day at 13.9 ft. Heavy rain is expected to continue today with rain finally coming to an end by Tuesday. I had expected that the hummingbirds to have moved on, but nope, they are still here and still battling with each other for feeder time. Fun to watch, even in the rain.  View

Heavy rains have resulted in squishy, lush, green grass that will need to be mowed when grass dries. Hummingbirds are active, and no monarch caterpillars or pupa are evident. Flowers are fewer and smaller, and wet conditions are helping the powdery mildew gain ground on susceptible plants and shrubs.  View

 09-13/26 to 09/20/26: Turf is dry and soil is hard underfoot. Drain tiles 12 to 18 inches deep in clay soil are not flowing. Total ETo for the period was 1.10 inches. Total precipitation over the period was 0.00 inches resulting in a deficit of 1.10 inches.

 3.87” in the preceding seven days, 3.86” of which came in about ten hours on Sunday – about two hours after I’d changed my CMR status from “mildly” to “moderately” dry! That total was the “lollipop” for Cape Cod, even edging out the venerable MA-BA-1 by .06”. Obviously, it would’ve been preferable if that amount hand come in the form of a two-day soaker, but we’ll take it – that event pushed September to 5.06” MTD against a PRISM average of 4.15”. So we’ve exceeded our “nut” for both September and the Water Year. In fact, we’re currently roughly 10% ahead of PRISM average for the entire water year, with more rain in the forecast. This is gratifying. As an old meteorologist buddy used to assure me, “Mother Nature loves her averages” and it would be nice to take a chunk out of the ‘24-’25 deficit. We’re in the heart of the lovely September weather that makes this the most pleasant month of the year – warm days, cool nights. Gradual color changes continue; fall flowers are blooming (including plenty of goldenrod – sniffle). Most garden plants except roots are announcing they’re done – time to start cleaning out. Pond level and wildlife activity are normal.  View

 Despite 1" of rain early in the week the ground is still quite dry. Streams are at or below normal levels with some even well below normal. Officially we are in D0 status. Rain, possibly heavy, is expected to start within a few hours of my writing this so we'll see what happens. Migrating birds are leaving, seasonal plants are dying off and lawns aren't looking great due to lack of rain. Trees have not started to change color yet. Mandatory or emergency water restrictions are still in effect. Surprisingly there have been no significant wildfires that I am aware of.  View
