| This was a fairly dry week with just 0.26" of rain measured across three days; as such we're back to being dry and seeing a 'high' fire rating. The mosquitoes are beginning to decrease in numbers although they are still nasty. I've seen a few more moose of late although few have calves in tow; the wild birds are, of course, abundant. The ground is back to being dry and there's a lot of dust created by any vehicular traffic on the back roads. Our temps have cooled a bit and the days are now rather pleasant with highs in the upper sixties to middle seventies and lows dropping into the upper forties to middle fifties. We really need and extended period of gentle, soaking rain. With July rapidly approaching here's hoping we see such events... |

| Since last reported on 06/23/2025, received 0.87" of precipitation recorded on two days. However, topsoil sample taken this evening indicates dry powdery soil from the surface down to 2.0". At the 3.0" level, topsoil is slightly moist. Prairie in our immediate area is blooming with yellow wildflowers that look like blankets from the air. I have never seen so much color in the summer since we moved here in 1998. Although soil is drying out, grass remains green. As a result, no Red Flag Warnings. Watering recently transplanted trees more often now. Perennial gardens are doing great with lots of blossoms. It appears that monsoon season is getting underway with daily chances of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Wildlife activity appears normal. Still no Miller Moth invasion like we typically see in June. With the topsoil continuing to be dry, I will maintain a Condition Scale of Mildly Dry. |

| Finally, enough rain to worth writing about, almost 2 inches of rain received this past week and it all soaked in helping out the sub soil. The rivers were bank full for a day which after seeing them very low for so long, seemed amazing too. Crops and lawn grass responded to the rains with quick growth. This was good to see as the corn and beans were behind in growth compared to prior years. Of course the taller corn creates cover for the deer that like munching the leaves on edges if fields, as well as alfalfa and soybeans. Pheasants enjoy the cover of the tall roadside grass as well. |

There were two days of measurable precipitation, with a maximum of 0.89 inches on the 29th.

| We have had a couple of wet episodes this week with a few resulting to much needed rain. This has led to several benefits and disadvantages. One, this has contributed to reduction in pollen levels. This rain has indeed helped with drought improvements in the area. Some disadvantages were present as well. Rivers started to rise slightly given the above average rain. This led to some rapid runoff for some small streams and also led to murky waters given the excess rain amounts. |

| Thus far for 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 0.25”, the past seven days [Sunday-Sat]. River and stream volume the past couple days of the CMR decreased over small lake dams west of this station. As of Sunday morning, 6/29; one was moving at 100% percent the width of the dam 6.5 miles from this station at a slow volume with no observable turbidity. The other, 2 miles to the west, also decreased greatly, now covering 15% 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 again this past week on most days. The ground around this station continues to be moist and soft to walk on. Grass and weeds required maintenance the past week. Maple trees are looking well, along with the Juvenal Oak’s and two Ginkgo Trees, also all looking good. Bumble Bees and honey bees were observed the past week. House Finch were active, along with Cardinals, Mourning Doves and no Crows. The Hummingbird feeder had observable activity and refreshed the evening of 6/27. Neighborhood squirrels, Rabbits and chipmonks were also all observed. Fire files / Lightning Bugs first flash of the season was observed the evening of 6/19, continue to be observed this week, adjacent this station. Also; Lilly’s that bloomed on 6/17, as of this report; 20% have emerged. No more Pionese flowers. A Red Tailed Fox was observed crossing this station on Sunday 6/29 at 1010 hrs with a dead Rabbit.
Over the past 31 days; this station has captured and reported 4.99 inches of precipitation. There has been 77 days of precipitation the previous 177 days of CY2025 [1/1/2025 to 6/28/2025] for a “Calendar Year” [CY] total of
25.68”, compared to 77 (as well) Precipitation Days” and a [CY] total of
29.55” the same [year to date] in CY2024. So far, compared to last year; this station has received 3.87” less precipitation than a year ago. Some other totals from previous years, for comparison, are;
YTD2023- 23.04”
YTD2022- 25.32”
YTD2021- 22.61”
YTD2020- 21.36”
YTD2019- 32.47”
YTD2018- 27.69”
YTD2017- 23.47”
YTD2016- 22.23”
YTD2015- 21.23” FIRST****
The running ELEVEN year average reported precipitation for THIS station is: 24.96” inches, placing this station at a surplus of 0.72” more then the 11 year average. Considering the eleven year annual comparable total for this station, is why I believe that it is appropriate to move this week’s report to the “Near Normal” side of the Condition Scale Bar.

Our long-term calendar year average for this point in the year is 2.38 inches which puts us at only 40 percent of where we should be. A couple of our dirt tanks did catch a little water, but not much. Our pasture grasses and vegetation have not had much of a response to this bit of rain yet and still remain in pretty poor shape. |

| June 2025 ends with another quite dry month at least right here. Station rainfall of 2.09" was only 45% of June NOAA normal. That said the rainfall pattern, dominated by convective activity, was highly variable across the region even within the upper Roanoke Valley. June was preceded by a very wet May, but before that was a very dry March-April--the roller coaster continues. Overall year-to-date precipitation is very close to normal, while The Water year (Oct. 1 to date) deficit is at 3.90" or 88% of NOAA normal.
Most indicators suggest conditions fairly close to normal.
The USGS gage on the Roanoke River at Roanoke 7-day flow as of 6/29/25 was 189 cfs or the 57th percentile of all flows for the date (115% of median). Carvins Cove local water supply reservoir as of 6/30 was at -1.0 feet below full pond (97.5% of capacity) -0.7 ft decline in the past two weeks. The US Drought Monitor (USDM) valid as of 6/24/25 showed no drought anywhere in VA or nearby WV and NC. A late June heat wave pushed average June temperatures up into what will be a top 10 warmest finish at KROA climate site (currently at 75.9F or +2.2 from 30-yr mean), to 7th or 8th place, with official records back to 1912. Interestingly, June 2024 reached 4th place at 76.9F. All told, a difficult call but will select Mildly Dry at least in my own yard. |
