The Ambient Weather soil moisture gauge in our front yard hasn't gotten above 10% with the 0.2" of rain total we've gotten so far this month. The grass feels like straw and it is extremely dusty to drive over dirt/gravel roads or when tractors gather the crops around here.  View

We’re in a period of relatively normal temperatures, close to normal for precipitation for the month and calendar year. We had a fair amount of precipitation in late September and early October, and soil moisture feels normal (I have planted a few shrubs recently). Vegetation looks pretty normal—late flowers are blooming up a storm, vegetation is green (no first frost yet). Deciduous tree leaves are changing color and falling. Springs and creeks seem to have a fairly normal level of water for the time of year.  View

1.36" of rain this past week. The soil is quite wet although I wouldn't say completely saturated. Ever with all that rain falling in three days, there was little pooling and no water running off - it just soaked in. Very welcome! With the cool nights & moisture, the cool-season grasses continuing to green up. Aspen turning up on Grand Mesa are mostly finished with their fall color display.

We're completing another no rain week in the area where the soil is crumbly and dry. It has been productive for the farmers doing soybeans (still some to do) and the continuation of combining corn. Lots of corn but good new for farms is how dry the kernels and no need for the grain dryers. I find it amazing the maple leaves continue to stay green while others have begun to show their fall colors. The deer are on the move at dawn and dusk and pheasants are flying ahead of the combines in the corn fields.  View

As of 10/13, MTD rainfall total for October is was .59" - October average is 3.02. Hotter than normal September temps have continued into mid-Oct with highs in mid to upper 80s most days. With carry-over from the droughty conditions in August, and with Sep/Oct temps higher than normal, it adds up to very dry conditions. Creeks are completely or nearly dry; our 1.5 ac pond that never completely dries up is only a foot away from doing so - have not seen it this low in 7 years. Corn harvest went well with dry conditions and soybeans look like they will be ready in 2-3 weeks.  View

The 3/4" of rain this week didn't do a lot to help the dry conditions. Perhaps the Nor'easter that starts later today will help. Trees are loosing their leaves without giving us much of a color show. The predicted winds will probably strip many of them. Otherwise the plant life is all in various stages of going into winter mode. As for wildlife all the usual critters are still around though we haven't seen the woodchucks lately. The winter birds don't seem to have made themselves known yet. Temperatures are generally at average for this time of years with just one cold (33°) morning on Friday. Ponds and streams are still low.  View

It continues to be dry here. Dust rolls off the gravel road every time anyone drives by, and there are lots of grain trucks and farm equipment going by. I think that all the soybeans in the area have been harvested and much of the corn. The sugar beets in the area haven't been harvested yet. (So more dust rolls in the area!! This is a bad time for allergies.) The South Fork of the Crow River continues to drop slowly where it is crossed by County Rd 2 between Glencoe and Silver Lake. One sand bar is starting to be visible west of the road as the river turns. We have also had many windy days, and a lot of leaves have fallen from trees without ever changing colors. We have not seen many of the wildlife that would be hunted now. Pheasant season opened yesterday - our friend who hunts here didn't see any pheasants at all when he walked the fields yesterday. We hope for some rain in the next week. There were sprinkles this afternoon, but not really much in the rain gauge.  View

We've had a little precipitation this week but not enough to make up for the longer term we've not had any. The ground is very dry. There is no water flowing in the stream and the pond is well below the outlet level so no water is flowing downstream. We are carrying water to recent plantings along the trails in the woods as they are showing signs of stress and wilting. We do have a large number of birds migrating through the area. We see them during the day while they rest up for the next night's journey. We've also seen a cayote, some possums and raccoons. The white tailed deer are entering the rut so we see them running through the forest periodically. Plants are doing well but not many leaves have changed color or fallen yet.  View

The first sustained, substantial rainfall since mid August brought 1.06" over a roughly 30 hour time period late this past week. Although it was certainly welcome, it is a far cry from the 2-4" predicted. The rain has put a temporary halt to peanut, soybean and cotton harvesting and allowed gardeners to cease watering fall plants for now. Even with the high winds, dust has been abated. There is some standing water in a few ditches, but none in fields as everything that fell soaked in. Septic lines are showing as green in the yard, while other grass is brown or yellow. The long term drought is still here.  View

No real change in last three weeks. We did get ~1/4” (0.23”) of rain, which at this point only got everything wet. All other conditions are the same; Creek is dry. Ground under Willow tree dry with ~1/4" cracks. ~1/2" cracks at locations where ground is bare. Cut the grass just to knock down the high spots. Got our first frost on the 10th. No forecast rain until next week end, 60% chance so we’ll see how that goes. If that doesn’t pan out, I’ll be moving to "Moderately Dry" next week.  View

This past week was near normal with a few showers, some sun and cooler temperatures with light variable winds. Today was the exception with 0.95" of rain in 7 hours, moderate at times. No flooding but we did have some standing water in our driveway. It is wet outside when the cows go in the barn. The forecast is for lots of rain in the coming weeks, more normal and even a chance of snow in the higher elevations 4000' and above. Trees are starting to drop more leaves but no fall color yet. Lots of different birds at our feeders and the flickers are back. Last spring was the last time they were in our yard. I haven't checked but there could be some water in our creeks again.

So close . . but yet, so far away. We missed the "noreaster" by a mere 5 miles to our east. I followed it persistently as it tracked northward, the rain shield tantalizingly just out of reach for three days . . so the song continues "rain, rain everywhere, but not a drop right here!"—as I dutifully water my container plants and flower bed and loquat trees. It's like fighting a losing battle, but they would do the same for me if they had fingers and a hose. Leaves are curling up on trees and falling a few at a time without changing color— no water. So the best survival technique is to shed the foliage to save the bark. There are fewer deer and horse flies around given that the maggots (larvae) live in boggy muck that is cracked and brick hard these days. Nevertheless, nature is resilient, taking it all in stride, so often a far more sensible stride than I do!  View

Even after the 3.95” rain on 11-12 Sep (our recent storm), only had 0.07” otherwise this past week. So still calling it Mildly Dry due to extended rain deficit. Including the past couple days rain, we’re at 2.57” above normal for Oct (277% above normal). The recent rain puts us 3.08” above normal for the year, or 108% of normal. Even after the past 2 day’s rain total the Wateree River is still well below its banks. Local ditches and swamps mostly dry before the 11-12 Sep rain. SC Forestry app showing 11 wildfires in S.C., all in the state’s eastern half. Hiking at Poinsett State Park on Friday (the day before the rainstorm started) the ground was dry down to about 2” with dry leaf littler and pine needles. Quite a few leaves had fallen, but were almost all brown vs fall colors like usual in past years. Resurrection ferns were dry and curled. Amazingly, very few mosquitos. The park pond’s spillway was barely trickling. Same for the park’s streams. Still very nice to have the extra 3.95” of rain, especially since it fell steadily over an extended period vs all at once. Data Explorer shows us at almost a 5” rain deficit for the last 90 days, and almost a 1.5” deficit for the last 30 days; this is even after the 11-12 Sep rain.

This station is without beneficial rain for 43 days. Brazos County is still not under a burn ban while bans are in effect in three of the five adjoining counties. Max temperatures are in the 88-95 F range and humidity levels are mostly below 50%. There is no moisture from rainfall in the top soil and large cracks in the clay subsoil are common. The non-irrigated grass is brown, dry and dying or dead. Very few birds are seen but the squirrels are active and obnoxious. Usually these dry conditions end in October but this year they persist. Ponds are drying, stock animals need hay, and agriculture activity needs irrigation. The smaller public water systems now have water use restrictions.  View
