Just In Weather, Drought Monitor July 16 And Lawn Health Index Improving A Little
There is some encouraging news for Maryland lawns this week.
After several weeks dominated by drought concerns, the latest U.S. Drought Monitor shows additional improvement across portions of the Mid-Atlantic. While Moderate to Severe Drought remains across much of Central Maryland and Extreme Drought continues on parts of the Eastern Shore, recent rainfall has helped replenish soil moisture and slow the progression of drought in many locations.
This week’s Lawn Health Index remains at 48 out of 100 (Fair). Conditions continue to improve, but long-term rainfall deficits and summer stress are preventing a more significant jump.
Our grass greened up considerably after a few storms a week or two back, but it's starting to look a crispy again in spots.
