Continued hot and dry west of the mountains. Last 3 days, highs have been around 90 with full sun and very low humidity. My tomato plants have a lot of green fruit left, but it looks like the plants are throwing in the towel for the season. Looks like my only decent shot at precip in the long term are remnants of Isaac late in the week, if it makes the curve east over land.
