Thus far in my “Watershed,” that resides in the “Upper Passaic River” Watershed, that covers from 1.5 miles to the NW to about 1.5 miles to the SE and is about 1 mile in width and in the general shape of a diamond;

There were THREE days with measurable precipitation and one day with trace precipitation for a total of 0.78”, the past seven days [Sunday-Saturday]. 

River and stream volume the past week of this CMR increased their rates of flow over small lake dams west of this station. As of Sunday afternoon, 6/14/2026; one covered 100% the width of the dam 6.5 miles from this station moving at a slow volume, with no observable turbidity. The other, 2 miles to the west, on the other hand decreased its flow over its fall, covering about 20% of its respective fall and moving at a similar volume, also with no observable turbidity. The Madison Golf Course, adjacent this station had observable play all days. The ground around this station is hydrated and soft to walk on. Grass and weeds required weekley maintenance. The first Rose bloomed in the morning on 5/22. A few more roses bloomed the past week but more then half have faded. Additionally; Day Lillies bloomed on 6/9 with perhaps 15% total bloomed. Active Birds around this station included; House Finch, Cardinals, Crows Pigeons were all observed. The Song Bird feeder was NOT refilled this week. The Thistle Feeder was filled Sunday April 26, 2026 for the first time. Since then and as of this report, 1-6/10” has been consumed what was 3 tenths of an inch usage. The Hummingbird Feeder was filled for the first time on Mothers Day 5/10/2026 and as of this report had no observable use and was not refreshed this week.

Neighborhood squirrels, chipmunks and rabbits were all observed adjacent this station this past week. No Bumble Bees were seen, but writer observed Honey bees and a hornet working flowers. Temperatures increased the past week to near normal conditions.

Over the past 31 days; this station has captured and reported 2.84 inches of precipitation. There has been 61 days of precipitation the previous 163 days of CY2026 [1/1/2026 to 6/13/2026] for a “Calendar Year” [CY] total of 
16.30”, compared to a total of 63 days of precipitation and a [CY] total of
24.21” the same [year to date] in CY2025. So far, compared to last year, this station has received 7.91” less precipitation than a year ago. Some other totals from previous years, for comparison, are;
YTD2024- 28.67”
YTD2023- 19.24”
YTD2022- 24.16”
YTD2021- 21.70”
YTD2020- 17.66”
YTD2019- 28.52”
YTD2018- 27.23”
YTD2017- 20.99”
YTD2016- 20.08”
YTD2015- 18.42”  (First full Year) 
The TWELVE year running average total precipitation for this station is: 22.26 inches, increasing this stations total deficit to 5.96” less then the 12 year average and this year continues as the DRIEST year this CMR has been posted. Considering the twelve year annual comparable total for this station and total precipation from previous years, is why I believe that it is still appropriate to continue this week’s report on the “Mildly Dry” side of the Condition Scale Bar.
