The dry trend continues as well... we have not seen any significant rain since the middle of August and we will likely stay completely dry though at least October 17th. With a dry forecast through the middle of the month we will have to keep an eye on another record dry stretch.

We have only seen .09″ of rain since Sept 9th. We may see the driest 2 month stretch from Sept 1st to Oct 31st since 1895.

Although we stay dry we do have some cooler weather ahead! Monday and Tuesday are 6 First Alert Weather Days with lows in the 30s and the threat for a widespread frost/freeze.
