Soils are severely wet as heavy rain returned over the past week, with almost two inches falling in one day and rainfall rates reaching above 2 in/hr. Over 10 inches of rain have fallen this most, meaning that we have fully recovered from the drought and are now running slightly above normal for yearly precipitation (based on the NOAA climatological average). Fire risk is low, dust activity is low, plants are healthy, and streams are near normal to above normal.
