CATEGORIES:
Plants & Wildlife
AFFECTED AREAS:
Clackamas County, OR

Start Date: 8/13/2017 - End Date: 8/13/2017
Almost a couple months with .01 inch of rain total. But the heavy spring rain has sustained the plants pretty well. Some trees are dropping a few leaves. Growth of most shrubs and vines has stalled, and grass is mostly dry. The creek is low. Fire danger has been high or extreme (usually just high, because nighttime humidity has been high). CoCoRaHS Report from Station #Estacada 5.2 WNW on 8/13/2017
