| We continue in a multi month drought afer
some relief in May. We have had 0.03” of rain so far this month, nearly an inch below normal, on average (3% of avg). We have received 5.91” year to date, 64% of avg. 7.39” water year to date, 61% of avg.
Yards which are following watering restrictions look dry. Wild lands have much fewer flowers and less vegetation growth than normal. Springs in the foothills are dry. In addition, temperatures have been quite high. I am concerned about fire, but at least in the grasslands, there hasn’t been abundant growth to fuel them. |

| Thus far in my “Watershed,” that resides in the “Upper Passaic River” Watershed, that covers from 1.5 miles to the NW to about 1.5 miles to the SE and is about 1 mile in width and in the general shape of a diamond;
There were THREE days with measurable precipitation and one day with trace precipitation for a total of 0.78”, the past seven days [Sunday-Saturday].
River and stream volume the past week of this CMR increased their rates of flow over small lake dams west of this station. As of Sunday afternoon, 6/14/2026; one covered 100% the width of the dam 6.5 miles from this station moving at a slow volume, with no observable turbidity. The other, 2 miles to the west, on the other hand decreased its flow over its fall, covering about 20% of its respective fall and moving at a similar volume, also with no observable turbidity. The Madison Golf Course, adjacent this station had observable play all days. The ground around this station is hydrated and soft to walk on. Grass and weeds required weekley maintenance. The first Rose bloomed in the morning on 5/22. A few more roses bloomed the past week but more then half have faded. Additionally; Day Lillies bloomed on 6/9 with perhaps 15% total bloomed. Active Birds around this station included; House Finch, Cardinals, Crows Pigeons were all observed. The Song Bird feeder was NOT refilled this week. The Thistle Feeder was filled Sunday April 26, 2026 for the first time. Since then and as of this report, 1-6/10” has been consumed what was 3 tenths of an inch usage. The Hummingbird Feeder was filled for the first time on Mothers Day 5/10/2026 and as of this report had no observable use and was not refreshed this week.
Neighborhood squirrels, chipmunks and rabbits were all observed adjacent this station this past week. No Bumble Bees were seen, but writer observed Honey bees and a hornet working flowers. Temperatures increased the past week to near normal conditions.
Over the past 31 days; this station has captured and reported 2.84 inches of precipitation. There has been 61 days of precipitation the previous 163 days of CY2026 [1/1/2026 to 6/13/2026] for a “Calendar Year” [CY] total of
16.30”, compared to a total of 63 days of precipitation and a [CY] total of
24.21” the same [year to date] in CY2025. So far, compared to last year, this station has received 7.91” less precipitation than a year ago. Some other totals from previous years, for comparison, are;
YTD2024- 28.67”
YTD2023- 19.24”
YTD2022- 24.16”
YTD2021- 21.70”
YTD2020- 17.66”
YTD2019- 28.52”
YTD2018- 27.23”
YTD2017- 20.99”
YTD2016- 20.08”
YTD2015- 18.42” (First full Year)
The TWELVE year running average total precipitation for this station is: 22.26 inches, increasing this stations total deficit to 5.96” less then the 12 year average and this year continues as the DRIEST year this CMR has been posted. Considering the twelve year annual comparable total for this station and total precipation from previous years, is why I believe that it is still appropriate to continue this week’s report on the “Mildly Dry” side of the Condition Scale Bar.

| General Awareness: This report covers the 2 week period from 01-14 June 2026. During this period we received a total of 0.50 inch of rain. This brings our YTD total to 3.50 inches which is -0.52 below and 87% of the NOAA YTD Normal and -1.47 inches below and 70% PRISM YTD Normal. The MTD total for June is 0.50 inch, which is -0.15 inch below and 77% of the NOAA June Monthly Normal and -0.27 inch below and 65% of the PRISM June Monthly Normal. The soil texture and appearance are slightly damp, although precipitation has been readily absorbed without ponding. Given these obs, and that this is the traditional start of our Monsoon Season, I classify the condition at my station as NEAR NORMAL.
Fire: As of 12 June the Seven Cabins Fire has been 100% contained. The majority of the fire was on the opposing (East) side of the Capitan Mountains with respect to my station, and approximately 20 miles away. However, as the fire progressed smoke plumes and hot spot flames were visible on the facing (West) side of the Capitans. Thanks to rains at the end of May and early June, the smoke plumes and spot fires had disappeared by 04 June. The continued rains further suppressed the smoldering remnants of the fire. In general the rain received during the obs period appeared to be heavier in the vicinity of the Capitans than at my station. Lght to moderate haze, haze layers or low level clouds were visible in my NE quadrant throughout the obs period, most pronounced at mid-level elevations along the Capitan and West Mountains. There were no significant impacts to air quality at my station for the duration of the Seven Cabins Fire, as measured by my Davis air quality sensor. BLM continues to classify the Fire Hazard as HIGH at the Fort Stanton Snowy River Cave National Conservation Area (closest border approx 1.6 miles ENE of my location). An open flame burn ban remains in effect for Lincoln County.
Plants & Wildlife: The greening of indigenous grasses has begun to slowly increase as a result of this month’s rains. Identical to my last report, deer, elk, bunny and jack rabbits, wild turkeys, humming birds, and other migratory and indigenous birds observed on our property appeared healthy and normal. Numerous young deer have been spotted. Bats have also been observed flying around our house after dark.
Water Supply & Quality: The water level from Rio Bonito has increased this week, demonstrating its function as a watershed tributary. The observed water level was seen to decrease from 17 May -06 June, being COMPLETELY DRY when observed on 06 June. With much rain being received across the Sierra Blanca Range this week the water level observed today, 14 June at approximately 1430 MDT, had rebounded to a level not seen since mid-May. A sequence of photos of Rio Bonito covering this period are attached, showing the river from the West side of the Box Canyon Trail Bridge. (Box Canyon Trail Bridge location from Google Earth: 33.4599993 N 105.6052082 W elevation 6596 feet. Rio Bonito is a primary watershed tributary from the Sierra Blanca, Lookout and Buck Mountains, approximately 12 miles SW-WSW of my location, and feeds our local aquafer)

| It’s complicated. Short term I would rate moderately dry over past three weeks. Even with yesterday’s rain we are now at 1.06” for June which is less than half normal for first half of month. Otherwise with wet April May we are above normal for the year so far. Recently ground was dry for first few inches and had to water garden heavily. Parts of lawn were burnt and brown and went dormant. Some crops were planted late and were tiny but the corn responded favorably to the 0.74” yesterday (such as corn and soybeans). |

| 0.12'' of rain in the last week and little change. Lows in the mid 70s and highs in the mid 90s, combined with oppressive humidity, have brought the full misery of summer heat for the first time all season, and dehydration / heat illness is a real danger. But, green fields and full stock tanks are a welcome sight at the beginning of summer. Sandy Creek and Bloody Hollow Creek are clear running streams flowing with well above normal velocity and volume. I have only seen them run at these levels for over a week straight a handful of times in the past 12 years.
There's a lot of concern around here about the New World Screwworm Fly invasion; the severity is still to be seen, but it has the potential to devastate the hunting and especially cattle industries. Rancher friend reports higher costs in time and money in preventive measures- having to check cattle more often, vaccinating /spray treating more, and being afraid to brand calves due to the possibility of screwworm infection in the burn wounds. The only big downer of the wet spring is that it has probably sped the screwworm fly spread as insect counts are very high. |
