5/31/2026  AR-PL-1 ARPolk Near Normal General Awareness
Conditions are near normal for the time of year. We received 0.94” of rainfall this week and have had 5.87” in the past two weeks. Soil moisture and water levels are as expected. Plant and crop growth is excellent with the moisture and warmth. No wildfire danger at this time.  View

Recent rains have contributed to better soil moisture & lessened the fire danger from being in a severe drought. Birds are teaching their fledglings. Foxes are seen with chipmunks & squirrels to feed their kits. Creeks are running well & lakes are catching runoff, although some are still low. There are concerns about algae bloom in some of the lakes.  View

As usual the weekend was cold and rainy, spoiling many Memorial Day picnics and parades. Temps are unusually cold -- 49+-F at night, 50s and 60s daytime. March has returned with a vengeance - displeasing both locals and tourists. Many bunnies cavorting and birds are gathering nesting materials.  View

It rained at this station a normal amount for the month of May. The area is still in an extreme drought but ironically we just had our biggest daily rainfall amount this year a few days ago. 1.74 inches in one day. The normals for May are around 3.5 inches. It will be interesting to see how the next three summer months compare when the normals are 7 to 8 inches per month. The area is still moderately dry.  View

General: Dry, but some improvement. We expect 1.433" (sd= .68") of rain (6 year average), and have received .47. We received .35" last night, which really helped. Agriculture: The rain we had this week (a little earlier in the week, and more last night) has definitely helped. The mustard has really started to take off, as has the wheat. It's a relief to all of us. Energy: My solar panel dashboard is down, but we've had consistent production over consumption (usually 2-3 times more than we use). Yesterday was cloudy/rainy all day, so no real production, anyway! Fire: Risk is high, for sure, but the rain has helped. Had lightning strikes nearby with rain this week, and that was a little unnerving. Plants/wildlife: More hummingbirds now, and the birds are more active and more prolific. The wetlands of the beaver pond that the Bannock County Roads and Bridges Department destroyed a few weeks ago is rapidly drying up. We see tracks in the mud, perhaps from the deer, moose, badgers, ducks, geese, and other animals that no longer can use it for water. We saw an eagle perched over what used to be the pond, obviously not able to feed there any more. The water that would have been stored in the aquifer is now going downstream. water: We're in dire straits, for sure. There is still a patch of snow on Scout mountain, but most of it has melted. Usually we see snow on Pebble Creek ski area into August, but that will certainly not be the case this year. The creek on our road is still running with small flow.  View

This station's area has encountered a very dry pattern with summer like temps this past week. There has not been any measurable precipitation for the past 12 days with only a slim chance for rain forecast for today and tomorrow. There is currently a deficit of -2.71" (41%) of NOAA Norm for MTD. YTD and WYTD are still near normal hanging above the 90 percentile. The US Drought Monitor has moved this area into Abnormally Dry conditions. Grass has significantly slowed growth and is starting to brown in some areas. Area crops are starting to show stress also. The corn that was planted earlier looks much better than the later planted seed. The Rock and Mississippi Rivers are still at normal seasonal levels with only a slight drop expected for the upcoming week. I will continue to provide supplemental watering to my garden and potted plants. I will also add water to the pool today due to evaporation.  View

2.2” rain this week. Early in the week while it's raining the creeks were brown-water rapids, the seeps were fountains. They are back to normal flows. The rock shelf in our upper pond is submerged again; the water is coming up but still low. Areas that were puddles on Wednesday were just moist on Thursday. The earth is thirsty, but trees, grass, corn and beans doing well. Daylilies and yuccas blooming, magnolias done. Pears and apples developing nicely.

1.29” in the preceding week. That, coupled with this morning’s catch of 0.35”, pushes the May total to 3.60”, which is 102% of PRISM average. We’re at 97% of average Calendar YTD and 103% of average Water YTD, so things are – thankfully – currently in the zone. The only weather grumble is that recent cool temperatures have REALLY slowed germination of some of the veggie seeds. Most local flowering trees have gone by, but rhododendrons and azeleas are at their peak and early perennials are showing well. Pond level is normal; the only notable wildlife comment is that the clutch of nine cygnets is now down to eight. I’m surprised we haven’t lost more.  View

Five days of rain this week, including a couple of unseasonally cool days with daytime high temps staying in the 40s, made it feel more like April than the last week of May. Weekly total precip was 1.44", another period lessening the dry conditions we've been in for some time now. Very windy conditions came with yesterday's system, TV news showed multiple locations with extensive tree damage and loss of power. Temperatures dropped dramatically these past couple of days, a few spots in northern Worcester county actually had a little snow (it melted on contact). Strong winds created wind chills into the 30s. I held off on putting the AC units in the windows and planting the annuals in the window boxes and planters; that proved to be a good idea. With June coming tomorrow, it's time to shift to more summer-like chores, planting the annuals, cleaning up the leftover weedy spots the birds have been actively using, and finally mowing the lawn (the No Mow May thing). The weather forecast for the week suggest it's a good time to get that stuff going...  View

We had 0.76" of rain this week, helping to alleviate a drying trend that dominated the weather this month, and giving us between Near Normal and Mildly Dry conditions. The first few days of this week were hot and humid--getting as high as 87F on Wednesday, but cooler, much more pleasant temperatures came the second half of this week with highs in the 70's (F) and comfortable humidity. Trees, including late-comers black walnuts, sycamores, oaks and catalpa trees, are fully leafed out and lush. Grass is green, lush and growing enough to mow about once a week. The bird feeder has been dominated by blue jays and cow-birds lately, though cardinals, nuthatches, gold finches, doves and chickadees are still making appearances. Canadian geese on the river are watching over growing goslings. May ends here with 1.81" of total rain, which is 2.44" below the PRISM monthly average of 4.25". This is a flip in the weather pattern after receiving so much more rain than average in both March and April.  View

For the week ending 5/31/2026, conditions were MILDLY DRY. The 7-day cumulative precipitation total of 0.21 inches was 73% below the 13-year (2009-2022) average of 0.78 inches and in the “mildly dry” range; the 30-day total of 1.81 inches was 47% below the expected 13-year average of 3.42 inches and in the “severely dry” range; and the 90-day total of 14.46 inches was 43% above the expected 13-year average of 10.25 inches and in the “moderately wet” range. There was 1 day of measurable precipitation, with 0.21 inches on the 25th. Temps ranged from 83 F (on the 27th) to 50 F (on the 25th & 31st), with average Hi/Lo temps of 70/53 F (-5/-3 relative to last week). Precipitation Trends—May to End: 1.81 inches (down 2.24 inches, 45% of PRISM Normal); Year to Date (2026): 19.44 inches (up 4.01 inches, 126% of PRISM Normal). A pleasant week from the standpoint of moderate temperatures and low humidity. Flowers are blooming on the Tulip Tree in the front yard and the European Tri-color Beech is leafed out in full glory. The yard is becoming alarmingly dry for so early in the year, especially in areas exposed directly to the sun. A Great Horned Owl was heard hooting this week, unusual for the season. American Robins have had a successful early breeding season, as evidenced by the large number of fledged young being attended by adults.  View

This week ended mildly dry; however, the week began with a transition from an exhausting spring pattern of unstable and often wet conditions with wide temperature swings to a week of sustained sunny and warm days with cool and humid nights. The weekly rain accumulation of 0.49 inches fell the day before the week began. Surface soils are now somewhat dry and lawns, while still green and growing, are not requiring mowing as frequently as just a few weeks ago. Grape vineyards are finally leafing out. The very first row crops are just barely breaking the soil but most fields are still bare. The first few farm stands are just now appearing roadside with limited local produce such as asparagus and flowers. Agriculture and outdoor recreation are very active. Local high school graduations are occurring outdoors. Although it’s beginning to feel a bit summer-like, Lake Michigan remains bitterly cold.  View

May was very dry and mainly cool with the last freeze around the 21st. Precipitation measured 1.08", 36% normal. Precip. for the year is 149% normal. Current REX block has yielded an extended rainless period, but moisture remains in garden soil a few inches down. First plantings of all garden plants except beans done. Tomatoes and peppers not out yet but Brussel sprouts are. Must water for germination. Asparagus and Rhubarb being harvested. Looks like many field crops have been planted by farmers. Currently watering shrubs and trees planted on USDA contract. Current year trees off to a slow start except for cedars which were in wet ground. Low afternoon humidities and winds but no wildfires nearby. Lots of folks on beach on warm days. Birding festival was a success, over 50 registrants from multiple states. Blackfly season was short and mosquitos not bad so far. All construction very active. No fawns seen yet. Deer numbers appear down after long winter. Turkeys were much in evidence during gobbling season. Dawn chorus of songbirds is subdued. Only 1 Whip-poor-will at night vs. a dozen 10 years ago.  View

We are back in an expanding D1 drought zone (long-term) and predictions are for this to further expand in the state. After a long cold snap and stalled arctic air, we've had near-record heat, which accelerated greenup and spring blooming. Precip has been scarce and patchy for a few weeks, and for 2026 is half normal. Swamps are drying further and fire danger is very high, despite green leaves and grasses. Water supply is poor for shallow wells, no municipal problems yet. Leaving water out for wildlife, watering garden daily. Lawns northeast of town are mid-August dry. Windy, with dust and pollen everywhere. Heading for severely dry if we don't get some solid rain soon.  View

After a nice start this spring with near normal precip finalizing with a wet snowfall in mid-April, trends have turned dry. May had less than an inch of rain, which has reduced soil moisture to much less than optimum. Optimistic rain forecasts have failed to produce more than a Trace. The dry conditions have been good to get crops in and potholes have dried to promote weed control, seedlings need some rain to develop. Dry conditions in the woods have reduced the abundance of morel mushrooms. Dry conditions have aided successful brood production of ruff grouse and turkeys, as large broods are being seen. Fire danger continues, however greening of grasses are helping mitigate wildfires. Need lower air temps and rain to relieve dry conditions. Will note a "severely dry" condition due to need for rain during this important growing season.  View

Weekly precip=0.24". Lows 67-72, highs 78-85 this past week. Humid and moist conditions with plenty of clouds and showers/thunderstorms in the area nearly every day. Gauge location never caught a good downpour, but other areas of the farm received well over an inch. Moist everywhere at the present. Some soybeans are yellow due to staying wet on top for about 2 weeks now. Climatologically right now: minus 0.61 for the month of May, minus 9.38 for the year, minus 13.94 for the water year.

Until the middle of this week, reporting drought conditions stopped in mid April because it was so discouraging to write about the desert-like grasslands.

With over 0.5" of precipitation in the past week, we are still experiencing Mildly Wet conditions. The basement is distinctly humid. We have been having moderate dews that leave open surfaces wet (something I normally expect in late summer/fall). Cooler temperatures appear to be lessening any burden to use up water resources but concomitant to those cooler temperatures, most growth is slower than normal. Now the green-up has nearly finished, more branch and tree death is visible--possibly linked to last year's drought. Nothing much to be done about that right now other than keep observing. Two areas of observed flourishing in the past week: mosquitos and ants. Most other wildlife appears normal and because of the aforementioned insects, I expect the about-quarter-sized toads in the backyard to grow well this year. Finally I got some seeds in the ground in the vegetable garden. The cooler temperatures (including frost and snow in the past 7 day forecasts) have been frustrating because the soil is worked, settled, and ready. This is the latest garden start I've known in the past 20 years. Allergies have been low.  View
