No precipitation has fallen in the past 3 weeks, but it has been beautiful but chilly. Still have not had any precipitation since June, and there is no foreseeable precipitation in the near future. Due to the lack of rain, grass has started to turn brown and if it was already browned, the brown is turning darker shades. We also have had a lot of stratus and fog near the coast that has been burning off in the late morning to afternoon and then rolling back in in the evening. Leaves are falling off trees which is indicating that fall is near. I hypothesize that rain will fall within the next month and a half, so I didn't see these dry conditions lasting much longer. Needless to say, we better enjoy the brisk weather while we can because here soon, rainy season will arrive. I wanted to take a moment to say that I've been very busy with my University work so I haven't been able to provide bi-weekly reports. I'll try to do every 2 weeks but if not, it may have to be every three. Thank you for your time, and I hope you all have a good day! CoCoRaHS Report from Station #Eureka 4.5 S on 9/16/2018
