this last year, but now seems especially early to be shedding leaves,
doesn't it?

I'm in zone 7 too and noticed same problem in the neighborhood. I
think it due to the rain here in Charlotte a couple weeks ago. We got
5 inches in about one day and it may have killed off some roots. I've
similar problems with red maple but the silver maple is doing better.
I've a large oak that leaves on the ends of some branches died off.
I think it due to the rain. Hold off the watering and they will
likely come back.
