| Earlier this week a stationary storm dropped 0.7 inches of rain, mostly in a 20 minute period. This rain has helped soil moisture. However, evaporation rates are high and the topsoil moisture has decreased to 35%, which is relatively normal for this time of year (while still being dry). Dust activity has increased, but plants remain healthy, streams/lakes have normal to slightly high levels, and fire risk is generally low. |

| The week started off hot with highs in the upper 80's and low 90's with a little monsoon moisture midweek. The high of the week was 92° on Tuesday. Moisture started moving in on Monday and lasted until Friday. Thunderstorms nearby on Wednesday and Thursday but only a trace of rain on Wednesday which was the total for the week. Lows ranged from 47° last Sunday to 63° on a couple of days. It was breezy at times during the week but nothing too strong until Friday when the winds started increasing with high fire danger. This continued on Saturday with Red Flag Warnings issued. The surrounding wildland and open areas are very dry. There seem to be less birds visiting the garden but there are still some but see hummingbirds frequently. Saw the bullfrog at the pond. Also saw a lizard. Probably a western fence lizard or spiny lizard. |

| Precipitation this week amounted to 0.21", boosting June's total to 0.70", 58% of normal. Year-To-Date remains at 89%. ETo was 0.39". Earlier this month the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes (CW3E), at Scripps, released a report titled "Odds of Reaching 100% of Normal Water Year Precipitation," using data from 1948-2017 as the gauge. For Northwest California, unfortunately, the odds predicted are 0%. But elsewhere in the states the odds increase, and they breakdown those odds into 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Very interesting report. (CW3E is the group doing all the Atmospheric River science and predictions each year.). No change this week in the California Drought Map. Average high was 65.6f, low 51.7f, and Ruth Lake Reservoir remains at 97%. Local rivers continue to drop and warm up. Fourth of July festivities this weekend and most campgrounds full. Another doe showed up with 2 fawns, and they were so young they were having a hard time standing and walking, wobbling a lot. |

The landscape is staying moist due to the foggy drizzle, but the ground is drying out, so back to watering twice a week. The wind made ocean conditions rough and the players at the local pickle ball resort are complaining about the impact of the wind on their games. Enjoying watching a good population of young birds in the gardens. Lots of Song Sparrows and Hairy Woodpeckers, but no young Quail as yet.

| Since last reported on 06/14/2026, recorded a total of 0.93" of precipitation which includes Multi-Day reporting of 0.05" from 06/19/2026 to 06/23/2026. This brings the total precipitation for June at 1.46". NOAA Normal is 2.05" and PRISM Normal is 2.31". These numbers will likely be the total for June 2026 as the forecast calls for no chance of precipitation until 04 July. The precipitation event that made a huge difference was the heavy thunderstorm on 6/25 recorded on 6/26 as 0.60". We had heavy rain, but the soil soaked up most of it. Hail Reports were submitted. Thankfully, nothing damaged.
Topsoil sample taken around 9:00am this morning indicates dry soil at the surface and moist soil just below the surface down to the 4.0" level. The soil below the surface barely packs in my hands.
No wildfires in our immediate area. However, there was a damaging wildfire down by Colorado City, CO this past week and wildfire south of Rifle, CO. Did observe hazy skies this morning obscuring our view of Pikes Peak most likely from the wildfire smoke.
Wildlife activity seemed normal this week. Returning home from running an errand Friday in Colorado Springs, observed a bird of prey literally falling out of the sky to catch something in tall grass along Woodmen Road just east of I-25. It was amazing to witness. At first glance I thought it was a drone. Then I saw the feathers ruffling as it fell onto its prey. Obviously, you don't have to be in the wild to see such a spectacle.
With below average precipitation for June, good rains, and drying conditions now upon us, I will maintain a Mildly Dry Condition Scale. |

| Some rain last week finally to the tune of 0.38" over two reporting periods. Still consider Moderately Dry as the appropriate condition. Grasses, sedges, and forbs are doing well in the yard. Shrubs, especially currents, are looking stressed. Aspen trees are recovering from the late frost we had and look healthy so far, but they have been established for tens of years. Birds continue to frequent the birdbath and hummingbird feeders. Snotel sites are no longer reporting as there is no snowpack left. Precipitation received is 24% of MTD Prism Normal, 69% of YTD Prism Normal, and 65% of WYTD Prism Normal. Stream flows in my area are running at or below half for this date. I am worried about the effect of early low water on the trout fisheries. Just in the last few days we have been covered in smoke from western wildfires. Prepared for evacuation if we get a wildfire in our area and have to leave, but so far there is nothing close by. |

| General: I've moved us to moderately dry, since we're almost up to expected levels for June. We're still low for the water year. We've had some rain the last two days, which has been a tremendous relief.
Agriculture: The mustard and wheat (oats?) crops of our neighbors are looking good. The recent rain has really helped.
Energy: Still in the strong solar production stage. Even with rain and clouds yesterday we produced 38.97 kWHR and only used 13.94 kWHR. We've had to use the AC some recently, but are using the heater this morning (!).
Fire: Risk is high, based on the Fourth of July. For some reason the County hasn't banned fireworks this year despite the severe drought.
Plants/animals: We're still seeing and hearing many birds, and occasionally a snake. Finally saw a squirrel this week (they're pretty rare here because of all the predators). Almost no ants, flies, beetles, yellow-jackets, bees, which is very distressing. We should be overwhelmed by yellow-jackets by now.
Water: Again, we're way low for the year. |

MTD should end with over three inches of surplus for a monthly total of over eight inches of rain. US Drought Monitor moved this station location from Abnormally Dry to No Drought Conditions this past week. All crops and vegetation are doing well with corn greater than waist high in most fields. I have seen a couple fields over head high. All area rivers are in bank. Starting the week off with Extreme Heat Warning with a chance of severe storms this afternoon.

| Rain for the week at this location was 0.53 in. & a trace. Put up a new gauge Wednesday of this week at 2938 reports. Haven't gotten enough rain since to put anything in it. Unless something untold happens to it, it will probably outlast me. The 120 acres around me got a new owner last year and they did massive tile addition and removed a huge number of rocks to add to the existing rock pile on the property. It is now a fairly large green mountain. I have seen the same result in another rock pile from a tile project in the hood from last fall. The corn has really jumped in the past week. It is still evident of spots of different heights in fields for some reason. There was spot spraying of weeds done in fields early this week before the corn got to shoulder high in a lot of places. Crops are looking good. Grass has slowed down a bit. There is rain to the West of this location . Don't know if it will get to here. High temps for the first of the week forecast. |

That said, we’re still at 99.9% of average for the Water Year. Will return to mildly dry for the nonce, on the strength of the week’s nice soaker.
