Filled 4 of those Home Depot/Lowes bags with leaves from two south-facing maples. I'm guessing they shed some leaves due to the heat stress, and the pouring rain helped knock them off.
The capacitor in my Davis station has gone out (again) so I'm without obs till I get a new battery.
The outside obs I do have is the maple in the front yard is dropping leaves like it's early October.
In the July obs threat there was talk about RDU's temperature being higher than what others were reporting. WRAL did a story on it: https://www.wral.com/story/degrees-of-separation-what-s-behind-temperatures-taking-off-at-rdu/21521863/
Mowed for the first time in 3+ weeks yesterday.
.83" over the past three days. Nothing yet so far today. Surprising 5.95" for the month to date, nearly half of that coming from July 6th.
