Conditions have gotten drier since the last update from last week with the area seeing little to no measurable precipitation in the form of liquid over this past week and the area is still remaining drought free. The area is currently considered near normal and conditions had remained the same since the last update and the ground has remained dried up with no standing water since the last update due to the area receiving more precipitation in the form of rain since there has been a lot of measurable rainfall last month in August and prior months and this had caused the area to receive an abundance of moisture the area had received in the past, but the grass is still green and vibrant in the back yard and in the front yard. The sump pump hasn’t been pumping at all during the entire week with the ground being dry despite all the precipitation the area had received over this past week. Outdoor activities have been great this week with majority of the days this week had had dry weather despite two days with precipitation falling, but other dry days were good to walk on local canal path and along with below average temperatures (Sunday-Saturday) and streams water levels are still holding at low levels currently. The air conditioner has been off with no needed use for cooling the house down for the entire week due to cooler than normal temperatures during the entire week and cooling the house with the windows closed the entire week to trap heat inside the house (as much as 0 degrees Fahrenheit above average for high and low temperatures during the week and as much as 11 degrees Fahrenheit below average for high and low temperatures during the week). The ground had remained dry this week and the drainage area in the backyard has no standing water. The grass is still green and vibrant with all the moisture that had fallen over this past week along with full foliage on the trees. The front and backyards needed to be hand mowed twice this week along with vegetation such as Dogwoods and trees in the backyard are doing good and no manual watering was needed for a potted plant and Boxwoods for most days this week and the grass is still growing very fast due to abundance of moisture the area received from the past.
