 A windy first half of the week with high temperatures starting off mild at 78° last Sunday before temperatures warmed to the warmest temperatures of the year and first 90 degree temperature of the year with a high of 91° on both Thursday and Friday. Lows were mostly in the 40's and 50's and warmed some to end the week. The low of the week was 47° on Wednesday. The first monsoon moisture of the season started to arrive, a few days before the official start of the monsoon season, on Friday with some light rain on Saturday morning. Only .02 inches fell which was the total for the week. Elevated fire conditions eased some at the end of the week with the arrival of the moisture. However, the area is very dry with brown grasses but still some green plants. Pumpkins have sprouted in the vegetable garden. Saw a rabbit on my morning walk and a squirrel on the neighbors shed. A lot of garter snakes observed and a couple appear to be hanging out in the waterfall filter. Birds also continue to frequent the garden and yellow swallowtail butterflies also seen in the garden.  View
6/14/2026  AR-PL-1 ARPolk Moderately Wet General Awareness
 We received another 3.64” of rainfall this week and it has rained almost every day. The 2 week rain total is 7.68” so conditions are moderately wet. Soil moisture is mostly saturated and streams and ditches are nearly full which is unusual for this time of year. Plant growth is good but the vegetables are not producing much due to all the clouds and rain. Local pastures and hayfields look good but the wetness is limiting harvest. Temperatures have generally been in the mid 80s most days. There is no fire danger.  View

 The brief rainfall this week amounted to 0.49", but it has been followed by five days and nights of clear skies with temperatures in the 70s. Average high 69.5f, low 48.5f. Inland this weekend temperatures are ranging 102-107f, prompting a warning from the Eureka NWS office about the heat and the rivers remaining on the cold side, and swift. The Klamath at Orleans is at 2200 cfs, while the Trinity at Hoopa is at 1600 cfs. Ruth Lake Reservoir remains at 98%. Cal Fire has suspended burn permits as of June 15th, due to the heightened conditions with the high temperatures and drying out of vegetation.  View

 Most of the week was marked by the gusty north wind, but we had a brief episode of gentle, soaking rain that gave us another half inch early in the week--all good for the water supply. By the end, the wind had shifted to the south and the fog and cool weather returned. Foggy and damp with dew outside this morning. Always good for the landscape. The gusty winds made for heavy ocean conditions and limited fishing and water sports for most of the week. Many visitors in the area despite the wind. Participants in a local pickle ball tournament had some issues playing in the wind.  View

 Since last reported on 06/07/2026, we received no further measurable precipitation other than the 0.48" reported on the 7th. As a result, topsoil has dried out considerably from incessant dry winds and warm temperatures all week. Soil sample taken today at 11:40am indicates dry dusty soil down to the 3.0" level with slightly moister soil at 4.0". Provided supplemental water to trees this past week and will need to water them again this coming week if significant rain does not come soon. Grasses are drying out quickly and some are beginning to cure out. Wildlife activity appears to be at normal levels. No wildfires reported in our immediate area. Saw a rather large Red Fox in our driveway early Thursday morning. The fox made eye contact with me and took off running southbound. Plenty of young rabbits for it to feast on. Insect population overall seems to be lower than usual. This includes crawlers and flyers. Magpies have been noisier than usual in the morning. With no measurable precipitation this past week, I am revising the Condition Scale from Near Normal to Mildly Dry.  View

 Bone dry week. Only 0.28" over the last 21 days. The soil in my wildflower patch is very hard. Some plants looked stressed throughout the week. Dry spots in our neighborhood parks are showing up.

I have had no measurable precipitation for the entire month of June thus far. MTD is 0% of PRISM Normal, YTD is 71% of PRISM Normal, and WYTD is 66% of PRISM Normal. The soil in the non-irrigated part of my yard is very dry. The plants that are growing seem to be doing fairly well. Bloom stalks are not as tall as I recall in past years so maybe the plants are panicking? It has been a good year for trailing fleabane (Erigeron flagellaris) and the blanket flower (Gaillardia aristata) is just coming on. Grasses are starting to bloom and set seed, especially the needle and thread (Hesperostipa comata) and blue gramma (Bouteloua gracilis). Boulder raspberry (Rubus deliciosus) has been spectacular this week. I have not seen much in the way of larger wildlife, but the birds are frequenting the birdbath, and hummingbirds are happy for the feeders that I have out. No change in fire restrictions - we are basically at Stage 2 in the Estes Valley (open burn ban) but still at Stage 1 in the national park. River gauges are reporting well under historical average for this date, and snowpack SWE is not reported for my 8-Digit HUC and is at 4% for my 6-Digit HUC. Probably getting to the end of the season for snowpack SWE anyway. Much talk around town about fire evacuation preparedness and property fire mitigation actions these days.  View

 After a wet second half of May, June has been dry at this site, with only .13 of rain recorded. .06" of that fell at the start of the month and there were 10 dry days before second rainfall. Seeded pasture that was growing in May is dying back. Soil is completely dry. Troughs for animals have to be refilled constantly as wildlife is using the water, too.

 General: We remain dry. A recent rain brought June up to close to our 6 year average, but we remain 4" below our 6 year average for the water year. Admittedly, we have a little time to catch up, but it won't help the crops this year. Agriculture: The mustard and wheat look good, following the rain we had last week. It's a little more bleak in Pocatello and the Snake River valley, where it is reported that many farmers are not planting because of water restrictions (one of the benefits of our neighbors dry land farming). This is not a great year for agriculture and, by clear association, those who eat the product of farming. Energy: Yesterday we created 101.94 kWHR of energy, and used 25.91 kWHR. Fire: Clearly, high fire danger. Plants/wildlife: The hummingbirds are definitely moving through, which is always a delight. We continue to mourn the loss of the beaver dam on Buckskin, which was destroyed by the Bannock County Roads and Bridges crew. This not only created a pond that recharged our aquifer but was a place where we observed ducks, geese, moose, deer, beavers, and other animals. It was a major resource for animals (human and non-human) and is now almost completely dry. Water: As above, we're in trouble. Our lack of snow this year is having a significant impact on all of the downstream people and animals.  View

 we go from drought conditions to being good and things growing well to having too much rain in a few short days. How quick things can and will change.

 2.86" rain this week, with measurable rain on four of seven days. Normal rainfall for June is 4.69". With the 10 days of dry weather prior to this week, the soil absorbed most of the rain. Little if any signs of wet fields in the area. Gardens and lawn look good.  View
6/14/2026  IL-HY-30 ILHenry Near Normal What a difference a week of good precipitation can make. This station went from Moderately Dry conditions last week to Near Normal this week, helped by 4.1" of rain over the course of seven days. The week started with a big deficit of MTD precipitation only to turn around with a large surplus this week. MTD is +2.19" (199%) of NOAA Norm, with YTD at +1.61" (110%) and WYTD +0.48" (102%). A lot of the rain came in heavy downpours during severe weather, but the ground has softened and absorbed most of the liquid. Brown grass has greened up and quickly grew, garden looks great and area crops have shot up. Area rivers have risen, with the Rock River experiencing minor flooding. Hot and humid conditions from last week will turn to more comfortable conditions this week with highs in the 70's with chances of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. It will be nice to turn the AC off and let fresh air blow through the house.  View

Rain fell on 5 days this week resulting in 4.27 inches, with 6/11 collecting 3.03 inches. Water still fills low lying areas and fields, the grass is green again, and plants are growing rapidly. The storm on 6/11 came with gusty winds, lightning and thunder, and electricity off overnight. MTD is 5.86 inches (268% of NOAA 30-yr norm), YTD is 21.62 (135%), and WYTD is 28.27 (120%). Abundant rainfall has given me time off from watering. Photo shows about 2 inches of planter’s headspace filled with water shortly after the heavy rain stopped on 6/11.  View

 Between June 8 and June 12 (5 days) we received 5.01" of rain! The crops and the lawn sprang to life. I haven't had to mow for almost 3 weeks, and now it looks like I may have to mow the lawn more than once per week, the way the grass (and weeds) and growing. Crops are looking great immediately around me, no low spots so no ponding or flooding - that, and the subsoil was so dry, it just soaked up most of the moisture. Some fields in McLean County didn't fair so well and large areas are still flooded-there will be some replanting required.  View

 A stormy & wet week flipped conditions from Moderately Dry to Near Normal. From 4 days of storms, picked up 3.72" and turned the MTD deficit to a 2" surplus. Calendar and Water YTD numbers also flipped to the positive side Near Normal. The spacing of the storms allowed the ground to absorb the rain w/o observable runoff. Grass and plants have picked back up and farm field corn & beans are taking off.  View

 Just under 5 inches of rain in the last week has the soils saturated, the creeks high and everything green. The question now will be how much of the 5 inches we kept and how much went down those swollen creeks. Crops look fine and my issue will be whether the pasture starts growing now just as we get close to when it would normally start drying out. More rain predicted for this week so good chance we'll be moving to the wet side soon.  View

 Another rainy and windy week at this location. 2.73 in. of rain for the week. One of the rounds we had came with some short lived higher winds leaving a lot of small sticks to be picked up before mowing and one small limb and a large dead one discovered yesterday when mowing up North of the North pasture that will have to be cut up and put on the burn pile. Rains and some warm temps have really put the jump on the young corn. I see a lot of uneven heights in some of that in our area, as well as a difference in color. Pasture and lawns are doing well as are the garden and flowers. More rain and cooler temps in the forecast for this week.  View

 Day 14 of June, 5.17 inches of rain received so far. Minor yard, sidewalk, and street ponding observed during Severe Weather Day on the 11th. Full mowing required this week. Beautiful Green Plants, Grass, and other things such as flowers and cottonwood blowing around. This is a tremendous relief to those who lost much of those during derecho August 10th 2020. Pollen count has been on the increase as a result. Not too many complaints about that. Full AC needed with fans. 75F does not cut it, turn it down to 73F. Especially when the floor is so sticky and humid it feels like someone spilt sugary soda all over it. Sunscreen and extra fluids required as we acclimate into the Summer Temps, which mean Higher Humidity, Higher UVIs, and the lovely Heat Index. Items inside vehicles such as seat belts, steering wheel, etc are Hot to the touch. So, this ALSO includes NOT leaving Pets and Children in Vehicles. Do not Drive Into Flooded Waters. Do not park underneath under or over passes or bridges. Do not Leave Things In Your Car That Will Melt and Roast. Only two tiny insects bit me this week. Still seeing Fire Flies Lightning Bugs. Witnessed birds flight patterns a little off. A few flew right above my head. That is probably because I am near their nest space as they were re-enforcing them long before the outdoor sirens went off. Birds continued to rebuild the nests after the stormy weather passed.

 0.28” in the preceding week, and 0.45" is our MTD total. That’s against a PRISM average of 3.64” for June, and it doesn’t look like the upcoming week will do much. Although May hit to point, April was dry and June so far is what it is, so it looks like we’ll close out the third quarter of the Water Year at around 50% of average (although we’re still pretty close to average for the Water Year overall). So it’s time to change designation to “Mildly Dry.” Things are still lush and green and everything is growing fast, but things in some places are a bit dry and dusty. Pond level is normal, as is wildlife activity. Lost two more cygnets to predators this week; the count is down to three of the original nine.  View

 Summer is here - loud and clear! It's been hot and dry this week with just over a half inch of rain (0.60" and three Trace days). Most of us in eastern MA have met the three-day criteria of a heat wave and it ain't over yet (as they say). Drought conditions continue. While we are lower on the drought scale (low to moderate) we could use a few days of good soaking rain. Locally grown strawberries are ripening and are showing up at local farm stores. I am not alone in looking for them and was delighted to find some this week. Strawberries in June, blueberries in July - time to bring out summer recipes that highlight these treats while helping to support the local farmers. Rhododendron and azaleas have pretty much finished blooming. Columbines have also finished and are creating their seed pods for next year. Iris have also passed and doing the same. Roses are startung to bloom, and buds are showing up on clematis vines. Canna bulbs are sprouting their stalks for flowers in a month or so. For some reason, there seem to be fewer squirrels around while the number of chipmunks appear to be growing. The groundhogs have returned (sadly) - likely waiting for my heirloom tomatoes... Lots of songbirds visit the feeder and bird bath. With so little rain, other creatures (including insects) are making regular visits to the bath as well. Happy Flag Day!  View

 Our erratic weather pattern has flipped again towards Moderately Wet conditions this past week with 2.63" rain falling over 4 days including a couple days of severe thunderstorms that spawned high winds and tornadoes. High winds brought down my neighbor's maple tree, snapping it off mid-trunk; also causing widespread power outages and road closures. Temperatures and humidities were above seasonal average during the first half the week--getting as high 91F on Wednesday, and then going back down to more pleasant seasonal averages with lower dew points the rest of the week. Lawns are now lush and growing again. Considerable time and energy has been expended this week cleaning up storm debris on my lawn and throughout the neighborhood. Mosquitoes have been swarming in high numbers in the woods, and are also becoming noticeable in shady areas in town. Ticks are also out and active now. Both of these critters are known to carry diseases: mosquito-borne West Nile virus has been detected in SW Michigan, and tick-borne Lyme's disease cases have been "ticking" up in Michigan in recent years. Lightning bugs (firefly) flashing in the twilight were observed this week.  View
