Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: TX-TV-357
Station Name: Leander 4.5 WNW
Report Date: 6/15/2026
Submitted: 6/14/2026 8:53 PM
Scale Bar: Moderately Wet
Description:
0.12'' of rain in the last week and little change. Lows in the mid 70s and highs in the mid 90s, combined with oppressive humidity, have brought the full misery of summer heat for the first time all season, and dehydration / heat illness is a real danger. But, green fields and full stock tanks are a welcome sight at the beginning of summer. Sandy Creek and Bloody Hollow Creek are clear running streams flowing with well above normal velocity and volume. I have only seen them run at these levels for over a week straight a handful of times in the past 12 years. 
There's a lot of concern around here about the New World Screwworm Fly invasion; the severity is still to be seen, but it has the potential to devastate the hunting and especially cattle industries. Rancher friend reports higher costs in time and money in preventive measures- having to check cattle more often, vaccinating /spray treating more, and being afraid to brand calves due to the possibility of screwworm infection in the burn wounds. The only big downer of the wet spring is that it has probably sped the screwworm fly spread as insect counts are very high.
