A super soaker of a rain storm

 We just got 2.93" of rain yesterday into the late evening. That brings us to 3.95" of rain for the month of September (the monthly average is 4.2") We are now at 6.03" of rain since May 31st, but are still shy of about 14" of rain for the summer.

But, we are still in a severe drought and have a long way to go to get out of it.

We got rain, but the drought continues

We got 1.02" of ran which puts us at around 3.1" since May 31st. At least the plants got a sip of water as we are incredibly dry and are in a D2 severe drought category as of Sept. 2nd.

It looks like we will be dry through the month of September. We will have below normal precipitation. Dry soil will allow the ground to cool faster overnight and lead to earlier than normal frost conditions.
