The mean annual precipitation ranges from 32 to 40 inches, and the mean annual temperature ranges from 66 to 70 degrees F. Frost-free days range from 260 to 280 days and elevation ranges from 200 to 350 feet. Thornthwaite P-E indices range from 54 to 64. These are the competing Ships series and the Highbank and Weswood series. Highbank soils have loamy surface layers and fine particle-size control sections. Weswood soils have coarse-silty control sections.
Associated soils are on slightly higher positions within the flood plain.
Somewhat poorly drained. Permeability is very slow. Runoff is low. After flooding water is ponded for very brief to very long periods. The soil is used mainly by wildlife.
