| We got 2.24 inches of rain since the last report 7 days ago but that was the least amount of rain reported near our area during that period. The ground soaked that up pretty quickly and is asking for more. The soil looks dry and has lots of small cracks in bare dirt. Grass in my yard still not growing much but the weeds are. The Horse Creek tributary at 9000W Rd (1/4 miles south) is about 10-15% full and flowing, the 15 inch drainage line at that location is flowing about 15% full, a bit more than it was a week ago. Our basement sump still not flowing at all. Corn across the road east of us is now 25-35 inches tall, grew about 10-15 inches in 7 days, 1.4-2.1 inches per day. Corn on our south side now 24-32 inches tall, grew about 9-11 inches in 7 days, 1.3-1.6 inches per day. Soybeans on our west side now 6-11 inches tall, grew 3-5 inches in 7 days, 0.4-0.7 inch per day. Pears now 1.0-1.3 inch in diameter, grew 0.1 inch in 7 days. |

| Only 0.4 in of rain in last week. Did not have to mow my lawn last week. Worcester MA reservoir water capacity as of 6/9/26 decreased from last week. Now at 101.2%. Significant Level 2 drought status with water ban in effect. All nonessential outdoor water uses banned, except that watering of ornamentals and flower gardens with drip irrigation, hand-held hose or watering cans is permitted. Irrigation of golf fairways should be reduced to 60% normal, and there should be no irrigation of roughs, landscaping and ornamentals. |

Relief, Response & Restrictions
Water Supply & Quality
|
| We are now just into the Extreme drought classification with NWS. The extreme heat (several 100+ days) and no rain has severely impacted ponds, streams and rivers.
Landscape plants requiring daily drip irrigation. Growth rates are down and flowering of crepe myrtles is running behind. Grass (hybrid bermuda) is barely growing and starting to brown out. Mowing periodically as needed.
Watering restrictions in place limiting irrigation to one day per week during overnight hours.
Agricultural planting is behind and all planted crops are now showing stress and browning out. Going to be a bad year for farmers. Golf courses are trying to salvage the greens and letting the rest go.
I hate to ask for it but we need a big tropical system to salvage the summer.

| My neighborhood is in need of a good soaking rain of at least an inch in one day. In nearly 4 weeks we had rains of 2,3 and 4 tenths which is enough to green up lawns and newly growing farm crops growing and green. We are 2.88" below form May 1st to date. The last good rain was over 4 days ending May 19th where we had 2.17", since then only 1.99", 2.67" below from May 1st. It has been mostly sunny warm to hot and windy. so the minor rain dries out fast. It has been great weather for putting up hay, outdoor construction and outdoor activities. Ditches are low or drying up as well as small marshes and frog ponds. The Baraboo River is still running lower. The Wisconsin River is running higher from upstream rains. Gardens need regular watering. |
