| FIRE - Somewhat dismissed this week due to over an inch of precipitation for the week. However, this came in two days, meaning we had 5 days with sunshine and no precipitation. From our location, we could see and hear thunder and lightening each day, but this rain and storms were concentrtated in the interior part of the state.
ENERGY - A bright spot for the week and energy consumption. Highs and Lows were mostly within Average Temperature ranges allowing the AC unit to get some breaks during the nighttime.
GENERAL - It is extremely interesting to witness the weather pattern that has developed this Summer: Rain and Thunderstorms all developing and raining in the Interior part of the state. When we have had rain, it has been gneerated by storms coming from either the SSE or WSW. No matter the origin, we would always accept any moisture no matter the source or direction. |

| Well after our wet spell over the first few weeks of August, the expected dry weather returned as only a trace of rain was recorded this week. The soil dried out pretty fast with mostly low humidity and sunny days, returning the soil to a mildly dry condition. Waterways have cleared up and dropped to their normal levels. Trees do look good and area lawns are green and still growing pretty fast. At one point so fast I was beginning to wonder if all the excess CO2 in the air was having an effect. Haven't seen too much wildlife prepping for Autumn yet but I did see a large and unfortunate turtle that failed in its effort to cross our busy road. For me it's always a sad sight to see. While I had no interest in feasting on it numerous and obviously hungry crows had other plans and were busy trying to snatch morsels between the passing cars. It was quite the busy and raucous gathering. |

| Earlies rains were so intense that a lot ran off, so today we are a bit dry. Crops are pretty well matured, so this weather is helping with the drying process. |

| With 0.53" of rain over the past week, soil is very workable, not too dry or wet. Rivers and streams are running at normal levels. Lawns are all green, and gardens are doing well. Deer are active, along with the bears. Nut gathering activity is on the increase for the squirrels and chipmunks. Hummingbirds are still visiting my gardens. Pollinators are numerous. |

| Many corn and soybean fields are maturing and turning yellow. River and lake levels continue to lower. In some areas smaller creeks such as Plum Creek near Walnut Grove are only a few inches deep. See photos. Curtis Lake also continues to lower. See photo of culvert on Curtis Lake. Rain is needed to begin replenishing sub soil for next year. |

| Conditions here are heading back toward severely dry. We are still well behind the NOAA averages for our water year and region. Central NC overall has received rain that has eased the dryness somewhat. It has been a hot humid summer although most plants seem to be OK. A few leaves are starting to turn, but some trees are showing noticeable heat stress. People are out and about doing their errands and work in the mornings. The Haw River is at a low flow level and Jordon Lake water levels appear to be slowly declining. |

| A very hot and dry weather pattern remained over the area this week with only 0.06" inches of measurable rainfall being observed. I looked at how much rain I have recorded for August 2026, which is 0.17" inches, and it is officially my second driest rainfall total I have measured for any August since I started reporting precipitation amounts for cocorahs in 2014. Next, our soil conditions remain dry and sandy with no noticeable moisture in any of our topsoil. Our grasses, and trees remain in a stressed state at this time due to a lack of rain, and I have noticed that most of our local animal activity has been occurring in the morning and during the evenings. Lastly, It is my hope we can begin to bring in our cool Fall temperatures and hopefully some rainfall at some point in the future, however I glanced at the forecast for the next week and It appears hot temperatures and no rainfall will continue for sometime into the future. |

| With another 0.77” of rain earlier this week, conditions remain near normal for end of August. The Pascoag reservoir has held steady at 8’11” and is not quite overflowing the spillway. Canadian geese are getting noisy on the lake getting ready to migrate. We are also seeing the Bald Eagle, Blue heron and various hawks. We haven’t heard the Baltimore orioles for the last week or so, so they may have left for the season. The lawn is growing fast and needs mowing more than once per week. Our tomatoes continue to produce like crazy, another bumper crop. For flowers, the Rose of Sharon and Tree Lilac are in full bloom while we sadly cut our last gladiolus of the season for the vase in the kitchen. They are such great cut flowers. Fire danger is posted as Low at George Washington state campground. Boating and fishing continues on the lake but has slowed down a bit now that the local kids are back in school. |

| Once more, no rain here -- though we heard thunder and there were showers nearby. Grasses are mostly browned out now, and a few trees are showing some stress (leaves starting to fall) Fire danger still high and burn bans around us, though water supply is good. The heat, constant 100-degree days, has not helped conditions, and forecasts continue them for another week. Still, this is more or less "average" for Texas summers! |

Its just been so muggy. The Hx never seems to break. Marshes and streams are at about normal levels. The deer are back to relaxing in our back lot. They often come to rest, an hour at a time. No threat to them here. Spotted a few new fawns, very close to their moms. Have not seen the Porcupine or any rabbits. The odd time, we hear a pheasant. The foxes must be busy, out of sight. At least there is now creek water to drink. People-wise, its busy. Families prepping for start of school year. Yellow buses appearing in parking lots. Summer holidays soon to end. Tourism buses very busy, keep on comin'. Overhead NS Power work on Peggy's Cove Rd making excellent progress. Never seen so many boom/bucket trucks working on one road, at the same time. 2-3 per location. Big work. Our Burn Ban map transitioned from mostly Green on Tue, to mostly Yellow today. Dang that Hx! |
