Conditions are still mildly dry after only receiving 0.40” of rainfall this week. The two week total is 1.82”. Temperatures were warm and humid early in the week and a cold front passed on Tuesday evening bringing thunderstorms and cooler than average weather since then. Soil moisture and stream flows are adequate but below average for the time of year as rainfall has been reduced for the last several months. Plant and crop growth is average with lower temperatures this week suppressing higher yields. Cool weather crops are doing well (like ryegrass) but warmer weather crops (like Bermuda grass and tomatoes) are not growing much. There is low fire danger at this time.
