There has been some significant rain at this location during this past week (0.81 inches), so the soil has not dried out too much. The temperatures have not been quite as hot as in recent weeks so there has not been as much evaporation. However, the soil is somewhat drier than normal for this time of year.  The foliage is showing no signs of drought stress and there is some standing fresh water for wildlife. I have heard no reports of brush fires in the region this week.
