Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: IA-WR-5
Station Name: Hartford 1.0 E
Report Date: 11/16/2025
Submitted: 11/16/2025 8:03 AM
Scale Bar: Mildly Dry
Description:
Moved the bar a notch lower due to the lack of rainfall and above normal temperatures. The week started cold but rapidly warmed to well above normal. Record highs were established Friday reaching into the mid 70s. The week averaged 4.4 degrees above. Climo says the site is running at 36% of normal precip for the month so far. Looking at the long range GFS indicates little precip with this first system at early week with more substantial rain coming next weekend and a larger system near Thanksgiving. Otherwise, a few farmers applying anhydrous. My wife watched an eagle swoop down and grab a fish out of the pond below the house. Never seen that before, which says a lot about Mother Nature and humans. With the add nice days, we are ready for winter.
