Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: IL-HY-30
Station Name: Colona 0.5 ESE
Report Date: 3/23/2025
Submitted: 3/23/2025 9:33 AM
Scale Bar: Mildly Dry
Description:
This past week saw more rain and a little accumulating snow.  Ground is soft so it absorbed the precipitation.  This station at 119% of NOAA Monthly Normal, but still in the 80th percentile for both NOAA Year-To-Date and Water Year-To-Date, so I will still say it is mildly dry. Still have had fire hazard warnings for dry and windy conditions.  Grass in my yard has started to green up and trees are budding out.  Did see one farmer this week tilling and putting anhydrous down.  I am sure most of the farmers are ready to get at it.  Temps look to be near normal this week with a couple chances of rain.  Hopefully, we will see that much needed precipitation forecasted.
