Pickens County, SC

The wet antecedent conditions of our Jan - June period are finally playing out. Now, after having received only 3.79" of rain this August (and no rain for past 13 days), the soil column has become significantly dry especially in hilly or exposed locations. If no more rain were to come this month (which looks quite possible), that would result in our 3rd driest mid-summer - July/August - in the past 15 years. Tulip-trees (Tulip-poplar, Liriodendron tulipifera) are beginning to develop (and drop) prematurely autumnal leaves, as are other woody species in the upstate. And lawns are drying out.
