9/16/2024  AK-MS-12 AKMatanuska-Susitna Mildly Wet General Awareness
Fire
Plants & Wildlife
The fall rains have come on with a vengeance as I measured 2.42" of rain across six of the past seven days; this is around 56% of the total precipitation during an average September! It also comes on the heels of last week's run of rain. The ground is saturated with the rain just running off to low lying areas, streams and rivers. Our fall color took a real hit with the rain knocking many of the gold and yellow leaves to the ground; the moderate to fresh winds across the past 24 hours contributed as well. The wild bird activity is becoming more frenetic as they sense the coming seasonal shift. If one thing was to describe this year for me it would be the utter absence of moose in this general area. Hopefully, the transitory bear population will move on so we can once again enjoy those large ungulates. All told, we are poised to slip into the calendar fall season...  View

How dry or wet is it? Severely Dry How much experience do you have with conditions there? 20 or more years How many times in the past have you seen it like this? Twice or more When was it most recently like this? 2020 How localized or widespread are the conditions you are reporting? Widespread. I personally track rainfall that spans across a line from the corners of southern Lincoln County through western Kiowa County into the western portion of Cheyenne County. I traveled to Amarillo, TX, this weekend and conditions did not change south through the Oklahoma Panhandle and only improved slightly into Texas. Though we did receive a thunderstorm towards, Brandon, CO, in Kiowa County last night it was spotty as they have been all year. How are crop conditions at this time? Very Poor - Extreme degree of loss to yield potential, complete or near crop failure. Planting Status: Later than normal Harvest Status: Later than normal Crop production: reduced_yield,plant_stress,erosion,other Crop production - Other: High temperatures and strong winds the last half of the week into today have dried out the soil even more since last week. Neighbors reporting that wheat seed they thought they had in moisture now is NOT sitting in moisture anymore. Other reports of having drilled 3 inches deep in an attempt to reach moisture further below. Many stands drilled in the last week and half are very spotty as of date. Many wheat fields still undrilled as producers wait for a thunderstorm to fall over their field. Fall crops are beyond repair with poor yield or complete loss predicted. Summerfallow fields just east and south of Eads blowing dust across highway 287. A mix of normal fall harvest start date to later than normal due to late sprouting "sucker" heads which will need a freeze to finish and then may influence grain with low test weights having not matured properly. How are range conditions at this time? Very Poor - Pastures provide very little or no feed. Supplemental feeding is required to maintain livestock condition. Livestock production: reduced_pasture_forage,feeding_hay_early,supplemental_feed,purchased_hay,animal_stress,less_water_in_ponds_creeks_etc,hauled_water,sold_livestock,erosion,other Livestock production - Other: Continued deterioration of pasture conditions since last week especially with high temperatures and strong winds. Public health impact: less_food_for_subsistence,garden_needs_more_water_or_yields_less,stress,other Public health impact - Other: The mental health of FARMERS AND RANCHERS is deteriorating as they manage the economic impact of poor markets and harvests having nothing to bring in for income yet continuing to endure inflated costs to steward the land. The added high temperatures and strong winds for this time of year as well as missed thunderstorms continues to add stress to farmers and ranchers.

Since the last report two weeks ago, there has been only one day with any measurable rainfall, and that was a scant quarter of an inch. The result is that conditions are now severely dry, with high fire danger, lawns once again yellowing and many vegetables and ornamentals needing regular watering to avoid burn out. Animal activity remains high, and water in the local reservoir continues to be ample. Business at local shops continues to be brisk. There have been no reports of widespread illness.  View

Station KY-CB-10 is in D2 - SEVERE DROUGHT. Only 1/3 the normal precipitation during the past 90 days. Only 0.47" of precipitation during the past 30 days. Only a trace of precipitation during the past week. Trees are showing significant signs of drought stress and wilting. The lawns are extremely brown in unwatered areas. The pond level is very low. Some of the residents are having foundation, driveway and sidewalk settling problems due to this intense drought. I have seen several foundation companies doing repair work in our local neighborhood area. For an example a driveway had settled several inches at a house by the garage door on the North East corner of Johns Hill Road and Westley Drive. The contractor worked all morning late last week concrete jacking their driveway and slab underneath their garage door. Grass is completely dormant except for areas where people have watered. Many of the local resideents have been watering their trees and are very concerned. Many residents bushes are dying, becoming very brown or are severely withering around their homes. Early leaf fall is now occurring in the forests. The lawns along busy roads are very susceptible to fires due to cigarette butts. The vegetation now is so dry in Campbell County that there is a high risk of brush or tree fires. There are many large cracks in the lawns. If we do not get a significant amount of rain by October 1st 2024, Category D3 - EXTREME DROUGHT is likely in our local area. This drought has been the worst ever since I have moved approximately 15 years ago. It is even worst than the great 2010 drought. Four County summary: Hamilton county is still D0 - Abnormally Dry but is likely to enter D1 - MODERATE DROUGHT sometime next week unless a significant rain event occurs. Most of Boone, Kenton and Campbell Counties are now definitely in D2 - SEVERE DROUGHT category except the Alexandria area east to the Ohio River area, the CVG airport and Hebron area. The CVG airport and the Hebron area will likely enter D1 - MODERATE DROUGHT category sometime next week if a significant rainfall event does not occur.  View

It's odd to be giving a condition report on the dry side, it's been a long time. We had so much rain most of the spring and summer, and now it hasn't rained in 9 days, or more than 1/3 inch in the last 18 days. My yard seems to be doing okay on keeping green (it's lower then most around here) but there are neighbors whose yards are toast already. Oddly enough, we are still several inches above average for the year. The river is low now, and running slow and clear. It has been unseasonably hot for the last couple weeks - mid 80's and sunny almost every day. The forecast looks like it it'll continue to be hot & won't rain for at least another week, so it looks like the trend will continue for a while. I likely wont need to mow for at least another week or two, rather than the once weekly I've been doing all year. Trees are continuing to turn colors slowly, but not very numerous yet. Birdseed consumption is up, hummingbirds are slowing down, but still coming.  View

First near normal of the summer. Ground is still moist, but exposed soil is drying, and cracking (clay soil around here). Plants still have plenty of water available, and still no break with lawn mowing. Mosquitoes are still heavy, maybe a little better than last week. Fall migration has started, bluebirds are already gone, swallows too, and tons of hummingbirds migrating through. Keep your feeders full.  View

Although we got .44" rain this week, the most in 3 months, and it finally cooled off, it's still very dry. Streamflows are very low. Plants changing color and dropping leaves early. We were gone for a week and counting on predicted rain to water the garden, but the forecast was overly optimistic and the soil is very dry. No frost yet though, which is unusual. Cool weather and widespread light to moderate rain did suppress most of the wildfires and air quality is much improved.  View

Our roads are turning to powder, our stock tanks are dry or drying up what little water was caught earlier this summer. Very little grass has grown this year, estimates show we only had about 2 pounds of growth per acre in much of the range.

Out of town 1/2 of the week. Not much change since last week. 0.73" which is a bit below normal. Roadside and yard grasses are still green. Leaves on early droppers like blackgum are falling on schedule. Slightly below normal temperatures and shorter days mean less evapotranspiration.
