Looks like we're in for more dry weather in Dixie. Beeweather states it's be 47 days without rain, though it's closer to 50 if you ignore the two .01 traces we had at the very beginning of this dry spell. I know that many of you live in very arid, dry conditions but south Alabama isn't normally like this. Normally it's so humid down here I can carve a slab of it off, wrap it, and mail it to homesick friends who are away from home. Lot's of things are wilted, dead...lots of trees dropping leaves and *not* from it being autumn. Farmers have started in earnest feeding hay already. Thankfully we haven't had big-time wildfires down here though there has been a few smaller ones. Critters are beginning to seek water wherever they can find it...I'm thinking about putting out a large trough for the deer...gotta keep'em hydrated for the freezer.
The last time I recall it being this dry was back in 1999, the year my father died.
Humidity right now at 8:30pm is 69% and dropping...normally is well above that and rising this time of the night. And, there's no rain predicted for the next seven days...it's dry.
