I am enjoying these temps. My new grass is beautiful! Yeah I had to water it heavily until it germinated. Now it’s easily 2”-3” tall. I’m touching up a few areas that need to be seeded some more but with the temps next week after the rain, the fescue will thrive as it already has.

Not that it has any relevance. My acorn & walnut trees have more nuts than I have ever seen in the 20 years here at my place. Squirrels oddly there is not nearly as many as there used to be. Still more than they can eat & store.
-
Finally some really good rains here In middle TN.

Neighbor works for the forestry. They did control burns on the western slope of the plateau Saturday. Said they don’t go by the typical drought monitor. They go by the foliage conditions & under growth. He said the conditions are much more favorable for fires than most believe.

I would approve of a winter like 96-97 or early 80’s.

Thank you! Very much needed. Not sure about west TN.

Neighbor rain gauge here had 2.2”. Very thankful for that. Went to Pikeville KY to watch daughter’s college soccer game. The leaves there & especially at 1000ft were clearly changing. Lots of red & yellows.

I went to visit my son at ETSU today. Amazing that the trees are already changing in this area. I believe an early fall is on tap. Looks like we finally got some good rains in middle TN. Hopefully this is the beginning of the drought being eroded away for middle & hopefully west TN.

Definitely a rain shield from I40 North west of the plateau, all the way back to Memphis. It’s pretty much a complete loss for yards & fall colors. I’m sure many bushes & trees will not survive either. There has been reports of some large brush fires in west TN. I hope we don’t get high winds with low humidity with any fronts.

Sadly for here in Northern Middle & West TN. The rains have all but disappeared. Nashville got some today but the drought is really setting in & the trees are flat out turning yellow to brown. We are going to have a very early looking fall. By the end of September the leaves will be gone. My yard is completely brown. Even my neighbors who have sprinklers have given up. No way to keep up with how much it would cost to keep green. It will be interesting how many trees die from this drought. I remember the last one we had killed many. We sadly can only get a few dust splattering drops.

Looking forward to the cooler temps. Just wish we could buy some rain. Everything is dying in this area.

The heat has definitely brought on flash drought conditions for much of middle & west TN. Moderate drought in some places already. Heading into the drier months is not helping either. Hope for a tropical system to be a drought buster otherwise.

Moved daughter into Bryan College Friday. Perfect timing for the fall temps. It looked like fall most of day with the clouds & fog. Yesterday was perfect with mostly cloudy most of the day. Finally got some good rains which helped settle the dust. Unfortunately I have come down with a bug & have slept most of day. Hopefully this fall wx continues.

Seems the past few years there has been a fropa come thru right before the 4th to make it very comfortable to watch the fireworks at night. Maybe this year is the same.

Apparently that heat advisory was from last week someone found out. One thing that does seem to be a lot more frequent across the globe is flooding. Maybe it seems like it due to social media. China just had biblical type floods. They have added afternoon storms to the forecast here pretty much thru next week. The heat appears to be moving back to the west more after today. I must say it’s crazy how wet & green everything is.
