Our Monitoring Star of the Week for July 14th through the 20th was posted by observer SC-RC-12 in Richland County, SC. This report was chosen because the observer noted how cooler temperatures and increased moisture broke a recent dry spell and how it affected grass and the observer's watering routine. In our last post, we asked observers to record how the current cold front is affecting local ecosystems and communities. This report does just that! We want to encourage everyone to be aware of how the increased moisture forecasted for this week impacts your yards and neighborhoods. How are animals, plants, people, businesses etc. responding this temporary relief from dry conditions? Keep the great reports coming. Good job SC-RC-12!

Got a quarter inch of rain this week after 2 weeks of virtually nothing.
Highs "only" in the 80s also helped. Greened up the grass a bit and
allowed us to back off watering plants in pots.
