5/17/2026  AZ-MR-532 AZMaricopa Severely Dry General Awareness
 With only 0.59" precip since the first of the year, conditions are real dry here. The desert never greened up and is parched tan and brown. Early heat in April has pushed bird hatches and flowering of desert plants forward. Plantings need extra water to survive and thrive. Ongoing drought has reached peak levels this winter.  View
5/17/2026  AR-PL-1 ARPolk Mildly Dry General Awareness
 Conditions are still mildly dry with only 0.31” of rainfall recorded this week. The two week total rainfall is 1.60”. Soil moisture and streamflows are lower than expected for this time of year. Temperatures have been moderate with highs in the upper 70s and low 80s. Low temperatures were cooler than normal early in the week with mornings in the low to mid 40s but warmed up to the upper 60s lately. Local pastures and hayfields are growing average and several farmers have been cutting hay this week with the dry weather. The vegetable garden is growing fairly well except the cool night temperatures has delayed planting and growth. There is low fire danger.  View

 A small amount of precipitation this week, 0.08", with May at 33% of normal. ETo jumped to 0.46" with warming days, average high 65.6f, low 47.9f. Ruth Lake Reservoir at 100% on 5/14, and no change in Drought Map. May Climate Prediction Center report shows probability of strong El Niño coming with fall and winter. Mad River and Eel both continue to lower. Good news for inland waterways fishing with spring-run Chinook season running July 1 to August 14 on the Klamath and Trinity Rivers, then fall-run Chinook season from August 15 to the end of the year, or until quota is reached. Agricultural fields still green and cattle being moved about to benefit from the abundant grass. Memorial Day weekend brings the Great Kinetic Sculpture Overland Race to the Humboldt Bay region, with human powered machines traveling from Arcata to Ferndale through sand, water and mud. And Old Town Eureka's Friday Night Market returns for the summer with a weekly outdoor street fair and music.  View

 There has been no significant rain since April 21 and 22, with very little precipitation so far in May--the onset of the dry summer season. The grass and other plants are still green and growing. The humid air and fog, sometimes with drizzle, here on the coast, keep the soil pretty moist and slow transpiration.  View

 No rain since the last report and the ground is drying out. The cold North wind returned this week and is still blowing. Constant wind with strong gusts up into the 40 mph range has made it tough to be outside comfortably and the ocean is full of white caps--too harsh for water sports or commercial fishing. Fortunately, no power outages in our area at least. Despite this, the area is still full of tourists, though it is clear that the higher gas prices have limited the number of RVs coming in. One local RV park still has many open spaces, which is unusual for this time of year. Our native grape vines have finally starting putting out their shoots and the honeysuckle vine is full of blossoms. Lots of bird song all day, which is delightful.  View

Sticking with Severely Dry in spite of the moisture we have received in the past couple of weeks. We have been without meaningful precipitation for so long, and the snowpack SWE is so below Median that it will take a while to catch up. Snow pack SWE is being reported as 7% of Median for my 6-Digit HUC and 3% of Median for my 8-Digit HUC. River flows in 2 of three gauges I am watching are nearly average, but there isn't much in the tank for the longer term. The yard looks much greener this week but I don't know if it is a direct result of the recent moisture or if it is the light. Many of the shrubs do appear to be leafing out and the current bushes at least are getting their blooms. Deer and elk have been through the neighborhood regularly browsing and grazing. Lots of birds frequenting the bird bath and the hummers are hitting their feeder pretty heavily as well. The snow that was on the higher peaks is visibly less than after the last storm but we are supposed to get more precip over the next couple of days so hoping to see improvement there. Fire restrictions for the county now extend to above 9000' in addition to all lower elevations. I think that is new since last week but I may have missed that it was already in place then. The National Park remains in their permanent Stage 1 restrictions. Estes Valley Fire Protection District remains in Stage 2 restrictions. My location is sitting at 147% of PRISM Normal MTD, 63% of PRISM Normal YTD, and 60% of PRISM Normal WYTD.  View

 General awareness: Dry. We are listed as severe drought, and that is borne out by my numbers: We've had .05" in May, compared to our 6 year average of 1.626". Nothing in sight. Agriculture: It looks like our neighbors have planted predominantly mustard (if our memory of the small crop of mustard last year is correct). Energy: We're creating about twice as much as we're using. Created 61.28 kWHR yesterday and used 35.76 kWHR, with heaters on. Fire: Fire danger is high. We're tinder dry. Plants/wildlife: The county destroyed the beaver pond again, despite the huge benefits we get from beaver ponds for recharging the water table, and the fact that the pond is used by moose, geese, ducks, and other wildlife constantly. We haven't seen any activity indicating that the beavers will rebuild, or even that they lived through the backhoe. Pretty frustrating to the humans who monitor these things. Water: See above. Pretty dire, frankly.  View

 We had 5 dry days and then a quick early morning rainfall with some hail one day and then finished out the week with some heavy showers as a frontal passage with collision of warm moist air and cool air was right over us. That produces some locally heavy rains in our area and to the south of us more so.  View

 Another 1.00 inch of rain this week (last 3 days). 2.38" for the month to date, which is normal. No standing water in fields, but many are still muddy. A few days of low dewpoints (30s to 40s) and brisk winds helped dry things a bit and prompted blowing dust advisories. Now warm and humid. Corn and soybeans emerging.  View

 This month has been much drier than April. As of today, NOAA Norm is in deficit for MTD precipitation of -1.67". Soil conditions have been dry, and I have been providing supplemental watering for the garden and potted plants. There was a nice shot of rain early Saturday morning that brought 0.41" that helped the deficit and more showers and thunderstorms are expected the next couple of days. There is corn emerging in area fields. Grass is still green but has slowed growth, allowing me to mow every fifth or sixth day from every third day that was occurring in late April and early May. All area rivers are at normal level and slowly dropping.  View

 We have had a total of 0.67" of rain in the past week, all of which fell in the last 24 hrs, and all of which was quickly adsorbed into the ground, you could barely tell it had rained. So far, May has been significantly drier than April was, still hoping for more rain. The water level in the ranch lake has dropped to 18% below lake capacity. Garden plantings and landscape flowers are looking good, but require regular watering. Cattle remain on round bales as there is not enough pasture to sustain them. Horses and sheep remain on pasture, for now, pending further rainfall.  View

 Quarter of an inch of rain over the last week has kept us from totally drying out but ground doesn't have much reserve. Creek is very low although still with running water and river levels are dropping although still moderate for this time of year. Pasture and lawn are green and growing but growth rate is much slower than normal. Beans and corn are both up and growing well. Very little blooming in the prairie but grasses look healthy. Difficult to judge effect there at this point.  View

 The topsoil in flowerbeds and yard is dry but not cracked nor hard to work. Underneath it's moist but not wet. Some watering of early vegetable plants has had to be done. Farmers are now in the fields. It seems late this year but there has been significant rain prior to this week and most field are now dry. My lower muck field which floods often in the spring, has been wet and had standing water for several weeks and become a wetland with visits from migrating waterfowl and now a couple of resident Canadian Geese, is beginning to dry out. It's been unseasonably cold this spring and last night was the first night I didn't have the heat running. This is pretty late in May to have on the heat. Cool temps have kept the yard from growing as rapidly has usual despite the rain and has required less mowing. Some mulberry trees are behind in blooming with the last frost/freeze effecting the forming fruit and a few larger trees are using their second set of leaves and just coming out.  View

 Rain for the week at this location was 1.64 in with the last two days having the most significant amounts. Things were getting pretty dry with cracks showing up in the ground in bare places. This should give the crops that have been planted, a boost to get going. What rain that has fallen locally has really been spotty. The grass had slowed down but will need to be mowed this week. Cooler temps ahead for this week and more chances for rain, the next couple of day's. Seeing a lot more and different types of birds around than I saw earlier this spring. not a expert on birds but have a cute little gal that comes every morning and sits on a Shepherds plant post and looks in the kitchen window for a period. Once in awhile her mate shows up too. Quite interesting to the two cats on the inside and myself. The dust control worth every penny, with the road past here being used as an unmarked detour with the paved road a mile West being resurfaced.  View

 0.04” rain this week over 2 days. MTD=0.74”, while last year was 5.21”. Creeks a trickle, barely enough for a thirsty dog. Seeps just wet the rock face, no rivulets or falls. Our ponds are as low as we've seen them (equal to Sep/Oct 2022), down 18” or so. Seeing spring-filled ponds makes us jealous. Grass is slow growing. More corn and now beans coming up, first hay coming down, more seeds going in. Magnolias blooming. Pair of pileateds playing tag on the trees in the front yard. It's nice to see them up close; they normally stay in the woods. Pairs of quail are regular visitors to the yard, hen turkey in the back yard, does grazing in the field, none with young'ns yet. Beautiful Northern water snake sunning on the dock. Skinks and lizards sneaking around, quick to hide.  View

 0.56” in the preceding week, which was disappointing (busted rain forecast Thursday/Friday). We’re just over halfway through May and stand with a 1.88” total, which is just over halfway to average, so I really can’t complain – but the upcoming week looks dry. Would like to see some recovery to April’s deficit (worth noting that the state just downgraded local drought conditions from Level Two to Level One). Will hold to “near normal” for now. Garden soils are reasonably moist, but have started using the drip irrigation system. Trees, grasses, flowers, brush, all of it are growing well. Pond level normal for this time of year; wildlife activity is normal.  View

 The past 11 days have included only two zero precip, and two trace precip, although our heaviest day was less than an inch. Talk around is ‘when is it going to stop raining?’ Several little league games/practices canceled due to wet fields, in Chicopee, next town from my station. My yard is nicely irrigated, no puddles. I noticed a bunched mushroom growing in my yard when I mowed. I row on the Connecticut River 3x [or more] a week, and it sharply increased with this last cold front passage of 14/15 May, with much tree debris floating on Saturday morning row.  View

5/17/2026  MA-WR-112 MAWorcester Mildly Wet This week brought some good soaking rain spread out over five days. Two of those days were close to an inch, totaling 2.26" (0.92" and 1.20"). That helps ease the dry conditions at least in the central part of the state. Other regions did not get as much and their drought conditions continue. Temperatures have remained mostly in the average range for this time of year but that is about to change dramatically. Forecasts for this coming week include record breaking 90s (the weather I like to complain about). Hopefully most of those days will hold off until July and August. Lawns are growing like mad with the rain followed by sunshine and warmer temps. Dogwoods are the star of the show this week, both the pink and white varieties. Azaleas are also starting to bloom (again, both pink and white varieties), rhododendron buds are following close behind. Hostas are sprouting and starting to open their leaves, goldenrod and milkweed are growing in earnest as well. Clematis vines are adding an inch or two every day, even weeds are drawing attention (looking at you garlic mustard). Most of the song birds have returned, joining the sparrows and other year-rounders. Juncoes have returned north (haven't seen any for a couple of weeks now). Rabbits and squirrels are around, as usual, but I haven't seen much else. Tis the season to acclimate the houseplants to stay out overnight. As tempting as it is to set up window boxes and planters now, I am holding off until Memorial Day to avoid lingering frosts. In the meantime, they all go out in the morning and back in at night. Back and forth, back and forth. It's all good...  View

 What a difference a week makes. Conditions are mildly dry. All standing water on the property is gone and drainage ditches have little standing water. Surface soils are dry, even a little dusty in places. Lawn growth has actually moderated slightly. The catch gauge captured 0.08 inches of rain all week. The unseasonably cool weather finally yielded to warmth by Saturday which seemed to generate the most vibrant outdoor activity of this spring. More runners, walkers, bikers, and anglers are out. Confidence that we’ve experienced our last frost of the season has agricultural and gardening activities in high gear. Numerous crop fields are now plowed and farm implements are frequently on the roads traveling from field to field. Plant nursery parking lots are overflowing. A Baltimore oriel made a brief visit. The overall landscape is appearing a lusher green. It looks and feels like mid-spring.  View
