A wetter weather pattern has set in during September, but not as wet as you might think. The remnants of Isaac dumped a lot of rain, but the 4.50 at the CVG airport location was not representative. Area wide, Isaac’s rainfall was veried, with most locations getting 2 or 3 inches.
CVG has now had over 7 inches for September. This too is true, but not representative. Ron’s Cheviot 0.9 SSE location has had 5.61 inches, and we continue to find dry soil profiles across the area. Yes, the rain has been very helpful, but the need for water ing has not been eliminated. Monitor soil moisture in your yard and if it is dry, continue to water.
