After the start to a hot and humid week with Extreme Heat Warnings, the week ended with lots of heavy rainfall with some severe weather. The last three days have seen 2.12" of rainfall, which replenished the moisture that was evaporated by the extreme heat. All To-Date readings are on the plus side of NOAA Norm. There is some standing water in some fields that are low and prone to that. Nearby corn loved the hot and humid conditions and has continued to get tall but does not appear to be tasseling out yet. Beans look good and my garden is flourishing with tomatoes turning and a plentiful crop of green beans to pick. Also cut a couple nice heads of broccoli. Area rivers are on the rise with the rainfall but are not expected to flood. There is a slight chance of rain today, otherwise the rest of the week looks mostly dry with summerlike heat which will allow wet areas to dry out.
