Conditions have worsened with only 0.13” of rainfall in the last two weeks recorded. Temperatures have been warm and the air dry. Soil moisture is depleted and decreasing as well as water levels in nearby streams and ponds. Plants/crops have stopped growing and some are even wilting in the afternoon heat. I’ve begun watering my garden and landscape plants to keep them growing. Local pastures are suffering from the lack of water. There is currently a high wildfire danger due to low humidity, heat and wind.
