Total precipitation since last week's report here: 1.10 inches, including more than half an inch since yesterday afternoon. That has kept conditions just mildly dry, despite four days of the week with hot sun and temperatures of 90 or more for several hours. After being High for several days, danger of forest fires in this area is now Moderate. Neighborhood lawns continue to have large patches of yellow, and low-lying areas of a nearby open field continue dry. Hot-weather crops like tomatoes and corn are flourishing, while much lettuce has bolted. Animal activity continues noticeable. Light road traffic this weekend indicates little tourism, except for trips away from here by residents late last week. Many local restaurants closed for the weekend, and activity at groceries and other local businesses was very light. Water level at a nearby reservoir continues to be good.
