Buncombe County, NC

Start Date: 7/22/2017 -  
Most of lawn is brown now, grass not growing, ground is cracked in places. Maximum temperature yesterday (7/21) was 99 deg F (AVL airport 91). West Buncombe County (my location), due to being drier and in rainshadow, is always warmer than airport, which is in wetter south Buncombe. My CoCoRaHS station (NC-BC-91) station precipitation: July 1-22 = 0.95 inch (vs. 3-5" north, east, and south Buncombe), June 1-July 22 = 2.99" (vs. 6-11" n, e, s BUNC). From Buncombe County, North Carolina, on July 22, 2017
