Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: CO-EP-371
Station Name: Peyton 8.5 WSW
Report Date: 6/30/2025
Submitted: 6/29/2025 10:07 PM
Scale Bar: Mildly Dry
Description:
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.
