| This area has hit Moderately Dry conditions. Ground is rock hard and has cracks and the grass has begun to turn brown. There was a shot of rain yesterday that put down 0.29", but with the lack of moisture from May, it hardly made up for the deficit that we have had. US Drought Monitor has this location in Moderate Drought conditions. Some crops are showing stress, particularly in the sandier soil, but even crops in richer soil are also showing some stress. Area rivers continue to drop water levels and are at July/August levels. There is forecasted rain the next two days, but temps are to remain summer like in the upper 80's to mid 90's mid-week which will further evaporate any moisture that may be put down. Can only hope that the if showers do occur, they are slow moving and saturate the ground and refill the swimming pool that is also quickly evaporating. Will continue to provide supplemental watering to garden and potted plants. |

Crops continue to look surprisingly good with excellent root growth in the corn (which is what keeps me from considering a moderately dry designation). Creeks are quite low and river level is dropping but tiles are still running a little bit. |

| 0.52” in the preceding week, of which only 0.17” gets chalked up to June. The weather has been little short of spectacular, with temps in the 70s and low humidity. But we could use a good soaker, and it doesn’t appear like one is in the cards any time soon. Will hold to “near normal” for this report but if the medium range forecast verifies suspect a switch to “mildly dry” will be appropriate next week. Things continue to be lush and green; lots of pollen and grasses gone to seed. Veggie garden is doing well with a boost from drip irrigation, but do need some warmer weather to kick the tomatoes and chiles into high growth gear. Pond level is normal, as is wildlife activity… and that’s both good and bad: the cygnet count, last time I could get a clear view, was down to five (out of the original nine) and that was two days ago. Have seen this show enough times to know that being a cygnet is a rough business. |

Temperature highs this week have been in the 70's and 80's (F) and humidity levels were mostly in the comfortable range. Lawns had been drying out prior to the rain, but are now lush and growing again. Local woodlands that were flooded back in April are now inundated with mosquitoes that swarm in high numbers in the woods, voracious and aggressively biting even at mid-day. Ticks are also out and active now. Both of these critters are known to carry diseases: mosquito-borne West Nile virus has been detected in SW Michigan, and tick-borne Lyme's disease cases have been rising in Michigan in recent years. Local field crops seem to be planted and in the early growth stages. |

This series of showers and eventually a few isolated thundershowers persisted until Saturday morning and dropped 0.56 inches of rain, which was also the weekly total (other catch gauges in the county registered much higher amounts). Saturday resumed warming and drying but with high humidities. No flooding occurred but surface soils are still slightly moist. Lawns are green but may have a few tan spots and more row crops are beginning to appear. Agricultural and outdoor recreation activities remain vibrant and numerous summer events and sporting tournaments are taking place in local communities. The beaches are attracting visitors but Lake Michigan remains too fridged for swimming. There’s a definite feel that we’re transitioning into summer. |

My station didn’t even get a Trace. This would’ve been a beneficial soaking. Areas to the South reported upwards to the 1”, with one station reporting 2.01”. We’ve continued to see threats of Rain/Thunderstorms, but nothing comes through.
The ground is very dry and constant manual watering is required for potted plants and other flowers. I’m on the verge of changing down to Severely Dry.
Forecast: Random chances of Thunderstorms and Rain with the best chance mid-week and maybe up to .5”. The other chances are lest than .1”. Remains hot into the 80’s, then slight cooling to the mid 70’s. Light to moderate Winds. |

It has begun to get humid again starting Saturday. Ground conditions are decent right now moisture wise, but the crops are getting bigger and so is their demand for water. Without any rain today, we will start irrigating corn on Monday. Some area farmers are already irrigating corn and soybeans on lighter sandy clay loam soils. We have a situation in a few fields where there are yellow soybeans in field bottoms from staying too moist for 2 weeks and soybeans that are ready for a drink at the top of the same fields. Rain would do a world of good right now though for keeping the crop thriving. |
