5/17/2026  AZ-MR-532 AZMaricopa Severely Dry General Awareness
 With only 0.59" precip since the first of the year, conditions are real dry here. The desert never greened up and is parched tan and brown. Early heat in April has pushed bird hatches and flowering of desert plants forward. Plantings need extra water to survive and thrive. Ongoing drought has reached peak levels this winter.  View
5/17/2026  AR-PL-1 ARPolk Mildly Dry General Awareness
 Conditions are still mildly dry with only 0.31” of rainfall recorded this week. The two week total rainfall is 1.60”. Soil moisture and streamflows are lower than expected for this time of year. Temperatures have been moderate with highs in the upper 70s and low 80s. Low temperatures were cooler than normal early in the week with mornings in the low to mid 40s but warmed up to the upper 60s lately. Local pastures and hayfields are growing average and several farmers have been cutting hay this week with the dry weather. The vegetable garden is growing fairly well except the cool night temperatures has delayed planting and growth. There is low fire danger.  View

 We had 5 dry days and then a quick early morning rainfall with some hail one day and then finished out the week with some heavy showers as a frontal passage with collision of warm moist air and cool air was right over us. That produces some locally heavy rains in our area and to the south of us more so.  View

 This month has been much drier than April. As of today, NOAA Norm is in deficit for MTD precipitation of -1.67". Soil conditions have been dry, and I have been providing supplemental watering for the garden and potted plants. There was a nice shot of rain early Saturday morning that brought 0.41" that helped the deficit and more showers and thunderstorms are expected the next couple of days. There is corn emerging in area fields. Grass is still green but has slowed growth, allowing me to mow every fifth or sixth day from every third day that was occurring in late April and early May. All area rivers are at normal level and slowly dropping.  View

 Quarter of an inch of rain over the last week has kept us from totally drying out but ground doesn't have much reserve. Creek is very low although still with running water and river levels are dropping although still moderate for this time of year. Pasture and lawn are green and growing but growth rate is much slower than normal. Beans and corn are both up and growing well. Very little blooming in the prairie but grasses look healthy. Difficult to judge effect there at this point.  View

 0.04” rain this week over 2 days. MTD=0.74”, while last year was 5.21”. Creeks a trickle, barely enough for a thirsty dog. Seeps just wet the rock face, no rivulets or falls. Our ponds are as low as we've seen them (equal to Sep/Oct 2022), down 18” or so. Seeing spring-filled ponds makes us jealous. Grass is slow growing. More corn and now beans coming up, first hay coming down, more seeds going in. Magnolias blooming. Pair of pileateds playing tag on the trees in the front yard. It's nice to see them up close; they normally stay in the woods. Pairs of quail are regular visitors to the yard, hen turkey in the back yard, does grazing in the field, none with young'ns yet. Beautiful Northern water snake sunning on the dock. Skinks and lizards sneaking around, quick to hide.  View

 0.56” in the preceding week, which was disappointing (busted rain forecast Thursday/Friday). We’re just over halfway through May and stand with a 1.88” total, which is just over halfway to average, so I really can’t complain – but the upcoming week looks dry. Would like to see some recovery to April’s deficit (worth noting that the state just downgraded local drought conditions from Level Two to Level One). Will hold to “near normal” for now. Garden soils are reasonably moist, but have started using the drip irrigation system. Trees, grasses, flowers, brush, all of it are growing well. Pond level normal for this time of year; wildlife activity is normal.  View

 The past 11 days have included only two zero precip, and two trace precip, although our heaviest day was less than an inch. Talk around is ‘when is it going to stop raining?’ Several little league games/practices canceled due to wet fields, in Chicopee, next town from my station. My yard is nicely irrigated, no puddles. I noticed a bunched mushroom growing in my yard when I mowed. I row on the Connecticut River 3x [or more] a week, and it sharply increased with this last cold front passage of 14/15 May, with much tree debris floating on Saturday morning row.  View

5/17/2026  MA-WR-112 MAWorcester Mildly Wet This week brought some good soaking rain spread out over five days. Two of those days were close to an inch, totaling 2.26" (0.92" and 1.20"). That helps ease the dry conditions at least in the central part of the state. Other regions did not get as much and their drought conditions continue. Temperatures have remained mostly in the average range for this time of year but that is about to change dramatically. Forecasts for this coming week include record breaking 90s (the weather I like to complain about). Hopefully most of those days will hold off until July and August. Lawns are growing like mad with the rain followed by sunshine and warmer temps. Dogwoods are the star of the show this week, both the pink and white varieties. Azaleas are also starting to bloom (again, both pink and white varieties), rhododendron buds are following close behind. Hostas are sprouting and starting to open their leaves, goldenrod and milkweed are growing in earnest as well. Clematis vines are adding an inch or two every day, even weeds are drawing attention (looking at you garlic mustard). Most of the song birds have returned, joining the sparrows and other year-rounders. Juncoes have returned north (haven't seen any for a couple of weeks now). Rabbits and squirrels are around, as usual, but I haven't seen much else. Tis the season to acclimate the houseplants to stay out overnight. As tempting as it is to set up window boxes and planters now, I am holding off until Memorial Day to avoid lingering frosts. In the meantime, they all go out in the morning and back in at night. Back and forth, back and forth. It's all good...  View

 What a difference a week makes. Conditions are mildly dry. All standing water on the property is gone and drainage ditches have little standing water. Surface soils are dry, even a little dusty in places. Lawn growth has actually moderated slightly. The catch gauge captured 0.08 inches of rain all week. The unseasonably cool weather finally yielded to warmth by Saturday which seemed to generate the most vibrant outdoor activity of this spring. More runners, walkers, bikers, and anglers are out. Confidence that we’ve experienced our last frost of the season has agricultural and gardening activities in high gear. Numerous crop fields are now plowed and farm implements are frequently on the roads traveling from field to field. Plant nursery parking lots are overflowing. A Baltimore oriel made a brief visit. The overall landscape is appearing a lusher green. It looks and feels like mid-spring.  View

We’ve had no decent Rainfall in the past 17 days. Just .15” and it’s starting to show in the plants and grass. Most of my Maple tree’s helicopters have dropped, which I could easily scoop into a 5-gallon bucket. Flowering trees have lost their beauty as they transform to their plain green. Tulips and daffodils are completely done, shrubbery is filling in nicely. We could use another good soaking. Maybe tonight. Temperatures were more on the cool side until Friday and Saturday reaching 70’s & 80’s, Winds light. Local parks have been getting more use, especially toddlers enjoying the swings and slides. The city has been sponsoring several park clean-ups and tree planting events through the month. It’s been surprising and nice to see so many neighbors participating. Forecast: A Shower or Thunderstorm overnight into Monday could bring about ¾” of Rain. Otherwise, skies clearing to Partly Cloudy, Dry and cooler Temps in the low 60’s through the week.  View

 Past few days brought .23", the first precip in nearly 3 weeks. Garden and lawn watering have been necessary, which is almost unheard of in May here (the wettest time of year). Wildflowers are mostly blooming a month early due to unusually warm temps. With nothing in the week long forecast, have to call it severely dry (although the US Drought Monitor says we are not in drought. I don't know how far back they look. Oct-Dec were really wet).  View

Some local farmers have complained that the wet spring has delayed ability to plow and plant crops, others have made some progress. Many trees old trees have fallen along the rain-swollen creeks and hillside woods. Living in low spot between two drumlins, my own property is still quite wet, making it difficult to plant vegetable and flower gardens and mow the lawn - but the weeds are thriving.  View

 A whole .05” this week. The cooler temperatures this week helped but now we’re really ramping up. Humidity continues to be low. Plant stresses increasing. Many plants are not recovering overnight, but are still droopy in the morning. Streams are very low. To germinate seed in the dry soil now would be almost impossible without irrigation. Very rough time for farmers trying to plant seed. Hoping for a big change later this week. I’ve never seen conditions like this in May. Insects activities seems to be low. Likewise birds seem a bit desultory.  View

 Rainfall throughout most of the week allowed the ground to dry out somewhat, taking us from moderately wet to mildly wet. Several individual days were considered near normal, but the rains towards the end of the week wiped out those drying gains. Chippewa Creek ended the week with water levels above the gauge log and flows running moderately fast. The mosquitoes are getting thick and, although I haven't used it yet, it'll be soon that I’ll need bug spray to be outside. The woods are almost completely leafed out, and the ground plants are very thick and healthy. I spotted the first golden finches of the season this week. The hawks and the turkey vultures have been very active also.  View

 Rainfall for week ending this Sunday morning of 0.24" is much less than the normal of nearly an inch. The total for May so far of 0.71" is 1.5 below normal. The running 365 day total has dropped further to 40.62" and is a foot below the 1991-2020 30-year average of 52.79. And only 15.83 of that came during the last 183 days. After several dry weeks and warming temperatures, near-surface ground moisture has been depleted, and grass growth has slowed. Deeper moisture has been low for quite a while. Stream flows continue to decrease. Manual watering needs have been frequent. Have selected Moderately Dry as the condition category, even though it is on the verge of becoming Severely Dry. Unseasonably hot temperatures forecast through this coming Wednesday will only exacerbate the dryness. And there is no guarantee that any thunderstorms that come at the end of this heat wave will deliver much rain.  View
