Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: CO-CR-18
Station Name: Ordway 3.5 W
Report Date: 5/18/2026
Submitted: 5/18/2026 9:10 AM
Scale Bar: Severely Dry
Description:
No soil moisture when digging in the garden and yard areas. Wind wind and more wind, every day. Red flag warnings Friday through Sunday. Limiting yard watering as per water board request. Still very very little greening. Trees recovering from the second freeze setback. Garlic plants look tough and sunflowers that were coming up died. Some bird migration but the usual deer have gone on to somewhere else. Hay, cake and other supplements continued to be fed. A little fire was caught just in time by pasture we care for. Suspiciously looked like an intentional set. I don't remember seeing the Arkansas River as low as it is, for this time of year. Mostly just sandbars. Temps in the 90s last week. Hopeful this week will be cooler, if not wet. All moisture is staying north and west.
