More rain this week has helped add more moisture to the ground keeping the conditions Near Normal.  Both MTD and YTD are on the plus side of NOAA Norm with WYTD just under at -0.20" (99%).  US Drought Monitor moved this station's area this week from Moderate Drought to Abnormally Dry.  An active weather pattern is set up through mid-week that could lead to more rain and possible severe storms.  There are some fields locally that have standing water in low areas and some roadside ditches are still holding water.  Grass is lush green and will now need regular mowing.  The Mississippi River continues to rise and will be just below Action Stage by Wednesday at Rock Island and a foot and half below Action at LeClaire.  The Rock River is receding from last week's minor flooding, and the Green River is returning to its normal levels.
