Summer is really trying to come to a close in parts of northern Alaska. On and off snow is forecast for higher elevations of the Brooks Range through Tuesday. Around 5 inches of snow is expected at Atigun Pass along the Dalton Highway. Snow is not uncommon in mid-August in the Brooks Range and it looks like this year is no exception.

Not many haters, maybe they are tired of the humidity and want the snow.

Currently though, radar trends show a boundary if you will from LOU to just NW of Cincy to S of Dayton over to ILN and up I-71 towards CMH. Along and north and west of that line, nothing. along and to the SE of that line, scattered areas of heavy downpours have been occurring and continue to develop over those same areas. Wish I could send this northward to you Mike and Eric. I should be good now. Your turn!

Thanks, Les! Things always seem to average out...there are times I have been hit and you missed and vice versa. We will eventually get our turn....I am just impatient!

Like many others here at AV my property already has browning "burn up" going on in the yard.

Grace who is now a TD, again, her forecast is more westward toward TX or Mexico eventually and so not very promising this far out, yet, for the OV either.

Many yards in my hood that haven't been regularly watered are pretty much toast. My yard is still good because as I have mentioned it is like 50% real grass and 50% crabgrass LOL, and right now the crabgrass is green so.... LOL Plus I water the plants regularly and try to spray the yard when I can.
