It’s been two weeks since Hurricane Dorian wreaked havoc across North Carolina’s coastal plain and communities, where recovery operations continue. Our one-inch rainfall in the wake of the tropical system has had minimal impact on drought conditions.
A strong high pressure ridge has settled in and much-needed rain seems to be at least a fortnight away. On a positive note, the southerly air flow around the ridge brings early-autumn daytime highs in the 70s with lows in the 50s.
Woodlands behind our home sport first blushes of autumn finery in joyous anticipation of the autumnal equinox three days hence. Here in the eastern reaches of the Piedmont Plateau, humanity holds high hopes autumn colors signal wet and cool weather ahead.
