Condition Monitoring Star of the Week - Polk County, NC

Our Condition Monitoring Star of the Week goes to CoCoRaHS observer with station number, NC-PK-16.  We chose this one because it portrays local moisture conditions very well, their affect on plants and how the observer responded. On April 27th, the observer made the following report.

Currently there seems to be no drought. Soil is moist in the first few inches of depth, with the top first quarter-inch being dry, except under mulch and low-growing plants. There are no standing pools of water on the property. We have had no need to water or irrigate any plants, except those we have just planted or transplanted. More trees have leaves from opening buds.

Great job NC-PK-16!
