Warm temperatures continued but not as hot as the previous week and it did cool down the latter half of the week. Moisture moved in early in the week with the first wetting rains since February. Not a lot but much needed. A total of .37 inches fell for the week and even some pellets of hail one day. High temperatures started in the 70's before cooling into the 60's and even upper 50's. The high of the week was 74° last Sunday. Lows were in the upper 30's and 40's before freezing temperatures returned to end the week. The low of the week was 28° on Saturday. Hopefully, no damage due to the freeze but time will tell. It was windy on several days but nothing extreme. The wildland areas are turning green with grasses and the oaks are sprouting new leaves. The garden is putting on a lot of new growth and everything is looking green. The pond is also active with all plants growing and the fish active and eating. Many different types of birds are visiting the garden and heard geese flying overhead. No other wildlife seen.  View

Drought conditions have improved this week due to much needed rain. We received 1.79” of rainfall this week and have had 1.81” in the past two weeks. We are still in a drought though and much below average moisture for this time of year. Soil moisture and water levels are below normal but improving along with crop/plant growth. There is low wildfire risk at this time.  View

For the week of March 29 - April 4, 0.46 in precipitation, maximum high temperature 84.6 deg F, minimum low temperature 44.5 deg F, evapotranspiration by ET gage = 0.46 in. Note that previous condition reports used a different measuring instrument for weekly evapotranspiration totals and this condition report is the first one with changeover to the ET gage. Atmospheric ducting due to unseasonably warm temperatures and high pressure from previous weeks continued to March 29 and March 30 (up to 350 nautical miles AIS VHF 162 MHz reception) before ending with the return of more seasonable weather. Normal, consistent maximum receive range is 50 nautical miles.  View

We finally had a little rain. More than all of March actually. Ended March at .18--3% of normal. So far for April-.39 or ~12% of normal. Then immediately back to warm dry days. The rain had little impact on our watering needs although it was enough to add to our catchment system tanks.  View

Just under a half inch of rain out of the storms this week. Most of the rain went north and south of our area, as has been the pattern. A chance of some additional rain this coming week, but will not be a large amount if it does materialize. Mild to quite warm weather after the rain and some windy conditions making the ocean a bit rough. Spring flowers are pretty much in full bloom now and the trees are leafing out quickly. Wildlife very active, probably trying to feed babies. We had a Bobcat take a grey squirrel in the gardens this week. The area is packed with tourists and family visitors for the Easter weekend.  View

Fire

Since last reported on 03/30/2026, recorded 0.05" of precipitation on 04/02/2026 from light rain the previous afternoon and evening. Checking the topsoil this morning, soil is dry and dusty down to the 2.0" level. Soil is slightly moist at the 3.0" level. Native grasses continue to sprout and we have better coverage of green grass compared to previous report. The NIDIS Drought monitoring map was revised recently to include our area from no drought to D0 drought conditions. I haven't heard any updates about the 24 fire lately, so I assume it is under control. There were Red Flag Warnings this past week primarily to our south where the wind was stronger. Provided supplemental water to our recently planted trees yesterday and to some of the perennials. Observed two Meadowlarks singing away yesterday and a pair of low-flying geese headed west. Cottontails were observed around the neighborhood. Pikes Peak received a fresh coating of snow from the storm I mentioned earlier. Bird bath has been frozen regularly each morning. With the precipitation at the beginning of the month, I will maintain a Mildly Dry Condition Scale.  View

Watered front lawn briefly for about 15 minutes for the 1st time in 2026. Lawn is yellow and crisp with a few green sprigs of weeds but not many. Severely dry. Fruitless Pear tree has fully transitioned from blossoms to small green leaves. Leaves are new and soft currently. Weeds in the backyard are unfortunately doing well, despite my hopes. Ponderosa Pine is hanging in there so far. Iris leaves are still trying, but no evidence of blossoms yet. I usually have 8-10 iris plants waking up by now, but still just the one that showed promise about a month ago. Everything needs water. Overall, yucky drought.  View

Spent yesterday watering the pasture. Will water the field and fruit trees across the road today. I'm worried our well will run dry before the end of summer. If the farmers have their irrigation water cut back, we won't have recharge to our alluvial aquifer from the nearby ditch. We're starting fire mitigation around the house by removing several dead aspen trees. I'm replacing wood chip mulch with pea gravel as soon as I can. I won't be planting any new perennials this season and I'm debating how much vegetable garden to plan.  View

General: We're still low on moisture, though last week brought some relief with over 1/2" received. We expect 18.89" (sd = 6.5") for the water year and we're at 12.97" so we're about 1 sd below expected (though we expect another 5" for the water year...we have a ways to go). It's early days for April, 2026. Agriculture: The rain last week was very welcome. The crops had all been planted 3 days before, and it was a good soaking. Energy: We're well into positive solar production: 87.23 kWHR produced yesterday, and 34.68 kWHR consumed. This is a very powerful testimony for solar energy. Fire: Fire danger is probably high at this point. Plants/wildlife: We've had some cold snaps this week, but everybody seemed to make it through okay. Numbers seem low, but species are close to what we had 2 years ago. Water: Still pretty puny. The creek is running, but very low. Runoff is pretty much done for our area, and there hasn't been much action. Not a very optimistic picture, I'm afraid.  View

At last some rain this past week. 2.54 inches recorded at our location over a 4 day period. Some of it came rather heavy at times. A good amount came as good soaking rain. Creeks and streams were flowing rather strong. Temperatures were all over the place. We had record heat for the preceding weeks and then more normalized but multiple swings with multiple fronts moving through / across the country. Some killing freezes a week or two ago have likely put the cabash to Maple tree samaras for this year. We are fine with that.  View

Well! What a difference an active weather pattern can do. From Moderately Dry a week ago to Near Normal conditions this week. If April showers bring May flowers, we should have plenty at this station. For the week, there was a total of 3.38" of rain over the course of six days. There is water standing in fields. Ditches are full and the rivers are on the rise with a flood warning for the Rock River. This station has a NOAA Norm surplus for MTD of +2.73" (543%), YTD of +0.84" (113%) and WYTD is only -0.29 (98%). It will dry out the next couple days before there is a chance for more showers mid-week. Grass is green and will need its first cut of the season. Trees are getting their leaves. Spring has sprung!  View

5 days of rain this week totaled 4.99 inches of rain, and storms on 3 of the days totaled 4.57 inches and were accompanied by 30 mph gusts, lightning and noisy thunder. Thunder and Roxie barking resulted in 2 sleepless nights. Soil is saturated, water bodies are high, and water is standing in areas that usually do not collect water. MTD rainfall is 4.11 inches over the 30 year NOAA norm and 754% of normal. YTD and MTD are in the normal range for the first time in a long time. Extra wiping of Roxie’s paws when she comes inside.

I measured 1.98 the past week which pushed this site to 315% of normal for April, 130% for the year, and a bit over 90% for the water year. Time to move the needle to Near Normal. If the long range GFS is anything near correct, Mildly or Moderately Wet is in the offing over the next two weeks. We shall see. Otherwise, lawn is greening but not much else plant activity is happening. A few ducks on the pond and several geese the last few days. Earlier in the week we saw a fairly large eagle swoop down an grab a fish out of the pond. Never seen that before, quite a sight!  View

April is off to a good start, with 1.14” in the preceding week (average 4.39”), on the heels of March totals running 105% of average. Grasses are greening up and starting to grow; spring bulbs are sprouting, and early daffodils are already in bloom. Ospreys have returned to the area; other wildlife activity is normal.

April showers bring May flowers; it has been a showery week. The rain gauge was dry only two days this week. The precipitation was modest, only 0.52" total. Temps are getting warmer, three overnight temps stayed in the 50s, only once did it get below freezing. Plants are responding to the spring conditions. Crocus are blooming while other bulbs are pushing up through the soil. Daffodils and tulips are growing in earnest while buds on trees are getting plump. Andromeda blossoms are almost completely open which usually means the mason bees will follow soon behind (I've been checking every day). Forthysia buds will open soon as well. Some friends have said they have seen robins already and a few showed up here this week too. Other songbirds have been growing in numbers. Squirrels and rabbits are joined by the woodchuck. Spring has (definitely) sprung. Yet the snowboard is still in place, just in case. It has snowed around here in April many times over the years.  View

Our conditions this stormy week were Severely Wet with 4.41" of rain falling over 6 days. All the rain has caused the Kalamazoo River and local Millrace to flood our local River Walk, closing it to foot-traffic. There is a lot of standing water in local farm fields and woodlands and there are muddy conditions thoughout the neighborhood. Grass is greening up, though not growing much yet. Maple trees, fruit trees and lilacs are budding. Daffodils, crocus, snow-drops and a few forsythia bushes are blooming. Daily high temperatures this week have been roller-coastering ranging from 77F to 44F. March was a wetter than average month as it ended with 5.51" of precipitation falling over the month, which is 228% above our average PRISM precipitation for March of 3.09".

Conditions are severely wet owing to 3.09 inches of rain falling throughout the week on soils that were already saturated and the excess water running off into ditches and streams that were close to capacity. Monday morning was the only day the catch gauge was dry. By Saturday we were into flooding conditions. Hickory Creek went over its banks in Baroda and St. Joseph Townships and the Galien River swelled well into nearby woods. Drainage ditches overflowed. Railroad tracks near Coloma were reported to be washed out and road damage was reported in SW Michigan. Flooding conditions peaked on Saturday but as of this morning, fields are still flooded. No frost occurred this week and temperatures ranged from cool to warm. Lawns and shrubs are greening up a little more and the crabapple tree is past its budding stage. The earliest blossoms are beginning to appear on smaller trees. Still seeing bicycling and running and Sarett Nature Center hosted its annual 5K trail run on Saturday morning, even in the mud and rain. Spring is here and an adequate water supply should not be a problem.  View

Recent storm delivered a total of 10.7" snow, with a SWE of 1.25". Short term is mildly dr to near normal, long-term moderate D1 drought with no change in lake or wetland levels. Snow may have taken wildlife by surprise, as we had a birdfeeder mobbed by finches and juncos, and deer foraging below. Last night a gray fox was digging around for seeds. Snow and moisture were much needed, and spring sap run is on hold for the holiday weekend, which is ok. Hubbard County was in a dry slot for much of the day yesterday, or we would have had more snow than we did. Thanks to glacial moraines, we are 700'+ higher than the Red River Valley, so that lift may dump some moisture before it gets here.  View
