Description:	0.80 inch of rain in the past week, mainly in one thunderstorm 5 days ago, but only 1.12 inch for the month which is much below normal. Grass is green and vegetation is normal for this time of year due to the thunderstorm this week and copious July rainfall. Some areas missed the thunderstorm this week and those areas are now quite dry. No rain is in the forecast for the next 7 days so dry conditions are expected to intensify.
