Warm Season Grasses

Warm season grasses are those species which are adapted to the hot growing conditions found in the southern and southwestern US. The primary warm season species are bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, St. Augustinegrass, Bahiagrass, and centipedegrass.

Zoysiagrass and certain bermudagrass varieties can be planted north of the Mason-Dixon line, but they are temperature sensitive and will lose their green color earlier in the fall and green up later in the spring than cool season grasses.

Bermudagrass and creeping bentgrass spread by above ground lateral shoots known as stolons. Both these varieties will eventually take over a lawn if they are adapted to the growing conditions.

A SECOND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS THEN EXPECTED TO FORM NEAR THE NORTH CAROLINA/VIRGINIA BORDER AND MOVE GENERALLY NORTHWARD SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. THE COMBINATION OF ALL OF THESE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL BRING RAIN TO THE AREA BEGINNING ON FRIDAY. THE RAIN WILL BECOME STEADIER AND HEAVIER FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AS THE SECOND LOW APPROACHED THE REGION. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES ARE ANTICIPATED WITH THIS STORM. LOCAL AMOUNTS UP TO 5 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN THOSE LOCATIONS THAT RECEIVE THE HEAVIEST RAIN. GIVEN THIS AMOUNT OF RAIN, SMALL STREAMS AND POSSIBLY MAINSTEM RIVERS WILL REACH FLOOD STAGE. SMALLER STREAMS WILL RESPOND FIRST TO THE RAINFALL FOLLOWED BY THE LARGER RIVERS. FLOODING COULD BEGIN AS SOON AS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT ALONG FAST RESPONDING CREEKS, WHILE THE LARGER, SLOWER RESPONDING RIVERS, COULD SEE FLOODING PERSIST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THESE RAINFALL AMOUNTS ALSO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE FLOODING OF ROADWAYS AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. IF YOU ARE TRAVELING, PLEASE ALLOW EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION. IN ADDITION TO ANY FLOODING, HEAVY RAIN CAN CAUSE REDUCED VISIBILITIES. PLEASE STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR FAVORITE MEDIA OUTLET FOR FURTHER UPDATES AND ANY POSSIBLE WARNINGS. PEOPLE WHO LIVE NEAR RIVERS OR STREAMS THAT ARE PRONE TO FLOODING SHOULD BE ON HEIGHTENED ALERT AND SHOULD BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION IF FLOODING DEVELOPS. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
