There has not been any fronts or precipitation this past week. Really no measureable precipitation since July in North Georgia. The last cold front passage was on the night of 9/8. It was a dry cold front it did not bring any precipitation. It looks like the next cold front passage will be on 9/22. Right, now as of 1400 there is Tropical Storm Hermine in the Gulf of Mexico. Hermine is 137 miles south of New Orleans moving north/northeast at 8 mph. Hermine should spread rain from the Gulf coast through the southeast on 9/20and 9/21. This may slow down migration and bring down some neotropical migrants that have been flying by with the clear skies the last month. ssha2 rsha1i. chsw30 rthu2 eape4 bggn6 veer1 swth11 woth3 cewx1 bhvi2 ytvi2 revi4 tewa8 nawa1unk. bbl. nopa1 f.a.f. yewa1 f.a.f. cswa5 1f.f.m. with chestnut flanks. 4 f.f. mawa4 btwa1 f.a.f. kd + dz. bnwa6 1 f.a.m. 1f.f.m. 2 f.a.f. 1f.f.f. 1h. blwa6 2 f.a.m. 1f.a.f. 3 f.f.f. piwa3 f.a.m. singing. bbwa2 1 f.f.f 1unk. bawa5 1f.f.m. 3 f.a.f. 1 unk. amre9 1f.a.m. 4 f.f.m. 3 f.a.f. 1unk. howa4 1a.m. 3 h. suta3 2m 1h. scta4 rbgr3 2h 1 i.m. amgo1 Notes: 14 species of warblers on the mountain today.
