CATEGORIES:
Plants & Wildlife
AFFECTED AREAS:
Stevens County, WA
Start Date: 8/13/2017
- End Date: 8/13/2017
58 days without measurable precipitation ended this morning with a measly 0.01 inches of rain. Continued above-average heat and drought-like conditions prevail with dry soil and non-irrigated crop stress. Creeks and streams continue visible flow depletion, with many springs now bone dry. Wildlife including rattlesnakes are leaving the woods seeking water in cities and towns. Bird concentrations are depleting. Wildfire smoke continues to remain at unhealthy levels with little to no end in sight. Irrigated hay crop land continues to thrive, promising a good third cutting.
