| Monsoon moisture was around most of the week with three days of measurable rain but just barely. A total of .05 inches of rain for the week. Drier at the end of the week with fire weather conditions returning. Smell of smoke one evening from one of the fires burning but not sure which one and they aren't close by. It was windy at times with thunderstorms around and at the end of the week with the return of drier conditions. It was a warm week with highs in the 80's except one day with a high of 92° on Tuesday which is the warmest temperature of the year, so far. Lows ranged from a low of 48° on Saturday to 65° on Thursday. The surrounding areas still have some wildflowers blooming but grasses are brown. The first bean in the vegetable garden has sprouted and plants in the garden are looking well. Saw a couple of deer across the street grazing. Also, saw garter snakes and birds but less birds than of recent weeks. |

| General awareness: We're dry. There's still a patch of snow at the Pebble Creek ski area, but it's going fast. It usually makes it to mid-August, but I doubt if it will make it to July.
Agriculture: The mustard crop looks good. We had a trace of rain and cool yesterday, and it liked that a lot. The dryland wheat also looks good.
Energy: High energy production time: yesterday we produced over 65 kWHR, and used only 18.24 kWHR. We've had to run the AC a couple of times, but with this level of production it's clearly not an issue.
Fire: Danger is high. There have been a couple of small fires, blessedly extinguished.
Plants/wildlife: Birds are singing full-tilt! We have a deer who has taken up residence on the property, which is delightful. The creek is still slightly running, and our springs are still running. Birds and wildlife still have those sources for water, and the Rapid Creek still has water.
Water: We're low. We expect .37" in June, and have .25 at this point. This is on top of already low totals from very reduced snowpack in the winter. |

| Conditions remain Near Normal again this week. There was heavy rain mid-week that put down 1.68" of rain over a six-hour time period, that left ditches full and water ponding in some fields. It has since dried out, and those ditches are now empty and only very low spots in fields that are prone to flooding have water left. Area rivers that had risen due to heavy rain the past two weeks have dropped and are within the banks and receding. Currently, all To Date measurements are on the plus side of NOAA Norm. MTD is at +2.81" (185%), YTD +2.23" (113%) and WYTD +1.10" (105%). US Drought Monitor continued to have this station location as Abnormally Dry conditions for last week. With the rain that this area has received and the current showers that are moving through today, I expect that may change to No Drought Conditions. Time will tell. Otherwise, grass is once again green and needing mowed more than once a week, crops are growing and looking really good, and I haven't had to provide supplemental watering of garden and potted plants for over a week.

| Time to switch to "moderately dry." Only 0.07" in the preceding week – and that coupled with low humidity, high winds and near-solstice sun angles. MTD catch is only .52” against a PRISM average of 3.64”. Not tracking evapotranspiration at this station but would bet it’s significant. Grasses are starting to brown out in some locations, some footpaths are downright dusty, and the town put watering restrictions in place this week. Other than grasses I haven’t seen significant signs of stress in native plants – yet – and the (drip-irrigated) veggie garden is loving the warmth and sun. Wildlife activity is normal (less osprey action than there was about three weeks ago); pond level is down an inch or two. Fingers crossed Monday-Tuesday event significantly outperforms forecast. |

However, there were higher precipitations nearby, as I received only the edges of some great thunderstorms activity. I raced on the Connecticut River [2 miles from my station] yesterday, and the river was up and muddy, so there was healthy runoff north of Springfield, MA. Our temperatures also moderate back to pleasant from sweltering of the previous week, which helped stop the wilting of the plants. Outdoor plants still needed some h2o assistance. |

| Summer solstice today makes it official - it's summer. It's been dry for most this past week with just a total of 0.35". A front came through Thursday and left an early morning gauge catch of 0.03". That was followed later in the evening beginning with an alert from the NWS of strong winds and heavy rain, and the potential of a tornado. We received 0.32" of rain in a downpour beginning about 5:30PM and lasting about twenty minutes. It was pouring! The rain tapered off, but most of that came in about 15 minutes. The whole thing lasted only about a half hour and the front continued to move east. Later, TV news showed several trees that came down in the storm, blocking roads and damaging vehicles and homes, and bringing down power lines here and there. We were lucky - no real damage and lots of drama watching it rain so hard (from inside).
That much rain coming so hard and fast doesn't do much to alleviate the drought conditions of course. But forecasts for tomorrow include an all day gentle rain. We can use it.
Plants are growing but have been affected by the dry conditions. Rain barrel water provides enough that annual flowers in window boxes and planters are fine, but other areas have been wilting (milkweed and goldenrod) and the areas of the lawn without shade are parched, crunchy and dusty. An all day rain is something to look forward to. Blossoms that have opened this week include milkweed, clematis and hostas. Flower spikes from the yucca plants are reaching some 5' tall this week.
Songbirds visit most days around the feeder and bird bath (fresh water most days in the bird bath). I have noticed a few fire flies around this week although I have not seen their night time display yet. I keep checking for it.
Welcome summer, and welcome an all day gentle rain. |
