The monsoon season was below normal this year. We have had almost no moisture this fall. The scrub oaks are starting to change color which normally does not occur until February or March. Once the oaks lose their leaves they will not likely leaf out until the monsoons start in July unless we have a wet winter and spring. Judging by the long-range forecast this does not appear likely.
